CBC Better hope that the Off-Shore Foreign Bankers building the NWO don't win an election in Canada and chop it up - Send a piece to Brazil, pece to China and a piece to Russia! How would they win the next election? Here is how they did it in the States lat election!

Two Party Paradyne Trick at Election Time
Elitists hone two candidates, train a Left winger, take another and hone her to be a Right winger! With elitist methods these candidates are trained to move at the right time to be elected, wherby they will arrange financial controls of the country for power gain of the Elitists!
The elitist boss is named David,the Left wing candidate is Obooba, Right wing candidate Sarah !
Because the elite are wealthy they Lobby and are able to create PR for these candidates that gives the candidates credibility among the voters and are promoted to become Dominant candidates!
David doesn’t care who wins between candidates as they have been honed for the Elities and David their Puppet Master!
Liberal Obooba gets voted in as President, he performs foremost for the Elitists! In spite of his oath!
Should Sarah, Right Winger get elected as President ,she will perform for the Elitists, despite her oath!
Right or Left = Elitist Win!

Without the CBC / Radio-Canada , we don’t have a country we can call home .If any of you had a chance to travel extensively like I have , you would have noticed the large amount of garbage and junk food for the brain that most of the countries without a goverment funded broadcaster put across their tv screens .Wake up Canada , for a country that screams identity and uniqueness, how dare any of you want to demolish and take the CBC off the air .Yes , I agree , a clean-up is a must and so is some belt tightening .The CBC is a highly respected broadcaster all over the world and they do all this with much less money than the BBC or other well known public broadcasters .BRAVO TO THE CBC AND RADIO-CANADA FOR MAKING ALL CANADIANS PROUD ! We want intelligent educational and entertaining programs that only you can do with so little money to do it .

John Doyle has a good article at the Probe and Fail today:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RT...

"The CBC can't have it both ways."

Exactly my point a week ago: Either be a public broadcaster and rely on government largesse OR support yourself from ad revenues but not both.

It's taken Mr. Doyle awhile, though, to write his article. I don't think he's covered any points that haven't been made here or elsewhere in the blogosphere. If journalists wait long enough, they can get all they need to know RIGHT HERE!

Holy smokes, guys. CBC, is supposed to stand for, CANADIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION, not, whatever we decide you need to be lectured about today and you damned well better believe us, CORPORATION.

I cannot believe that a single poster on this sight would defend our tax dollars being spent on any form of biased journalism.
The CBC, has lost it's way and I refuse to support a government supported NATIONAL broadcaster, that only speaks to a fraction of the Canadian population.
Trust me, the North have satellite dishes and do not need the CBC either.
None of us do so send them packing. Esta la vista, CBC.

Hey take your shot…but don't try to mislead me. For example, you cite the CBC's sick time as if it's some big scandal infecting the whole place. CBC actually has a better lost-time record than the federal government. One part of CBC does have a poor record, but most of the Corp is actually pretty good on sick time. It was also interesting you made a big deal of the CBC's average pay+benefits per employee at 75,595 as if that was also a big scandal. Is it an even bigger scandal that pay+benefits in private broadcasting are higher at $77,938? Furthermore, bundling benefits AND pay inflates the figures. That's not an average CBC or CTV paycheque–it is probably 15 or 18% less than that. Media is highly competitive and those are the going rates for talent. I can tell you're trying to make it look like CBC people have created a nicely feathered nest.
Fair enough, make your arguments for or against public broadcasting. But be honest with the facts and context of your arguments.

Robert, one day ago, said, “Cut backs to the CBC may affect future GG selections. Is that a risk we should be taking?”

Yep!! Go for it.
