Help Save The CBC

Many people want to save the CBC and the best way for them to do that would be to take up a collection and buy it from the gov\'t. The perfect solution.

I am in constant contact with many Conservative voters and campaigners and they hate the CBC to no end. There is much talk among their rank and file about selling it off to private interests if they ever take power.

Its clear after the Iraq war that there was only one true mainstream voice that cut through all the Pentagon/White House bs and that was the CBC. That alone earns them a reprieve in my books.

Roy,

I totally agree. During the war on Iraq the CBC was the only news source which I was able to go to that would give me a different look at the war. While the American and Global turned it into a reality tv show and spicing up the American war. CBC and the BBC gave us the other side of the story.

I should also give credit to CBS who did the show \"The moral of the war\" where they interviewed soldiers who were against the war, and who were voicing their concerns about the morals involved in fighting that war. Of course after this was aired CBS and the host got allot of pressure from the white house. They even asked that the host of the show be fired cause he was Canadian. They even mention how they many Americans were concerned about how many Canadians where working to give them News in the U.S.

Allot of it has to do with the fact that in the past they used Canadians to go over seas cause they were more welcomed there. So these Canadians are now still working for these news stations. Some Americans had a problem with this.

I think the CBC is our only hope, but we have to find a way to help them understand that they too, work for us!

I think what we need to do is take back our government because what you don\'t seem to get is we are the government.
So CBC is ours. I hate that they have had to take on corporate advertising at all to keep themselves afloat. No advertizing would be my choice for CBC giving them more of a Canadian voice.

Thanks for posting this Kevin

That's fine. But the ratings tell the whole story. Let CBC go to a privately funded system like PBS. Then and only then we will get the true voice of Canada. By the way PBS has some of the best programming that people actually watch, and it doesn't cost the U.S taxpayers a cent!
