The CBC basically parrots the US mainstream media like MSNBC and CNN. Which makes sense because the CBC rarely send their own reporters south, they rely on the newswire like Reuters.
Then they just layer on a "aren't you glad you aren't American?" narrative on top, which keeps Canadians voters distracted from the problems in their own country.
Rampant immigration? A few token articles a year. Superficial analysis using government talking points.

Can you point to an example? I dont get this vibe.
> The CBC basically parrots the US mainstream media like MSNBC and CNN.
On what issues? On American politics issues, I do find CBC to use less inflammatory language than MSNBC and certain anchors on CNN.
> Rampant immigration?
Are you referring to immigration to Canada? You say 'rampant immigration' as if it is implicit that 'immigration' itself is bad. You didnt feel the need to specify or qualify anything other than 'immigration'. This is such a severe oversight to me that it discredits your opinion on these types of topics in my eyes. There is so much to unpack in Canadas immigration policy that to categorize it away as 'rampant immigration' is telling of a lack of understanding of the details of the topic of immigration in Canada.
I think ironically people hate CBC because they've been told it's gov funded. I watch CBC Marketplace, Fifth Estate, podcasts, 22 minutes, it's all pretty good. Sure you can dig into it and be skeptical of the narrative or w/e, but I think they do a decent job of neutrality, especially more than obviously right leaning publications like National Post. Rarely does CBC make the current administration look good. CBC was making Trudeau look bad long before everyone else jumped on.
