The upper management of ACCESS were Tory good old boys owing their positions to who they knew , not what they knew. And it was this that led to the downfall for both CKUA and ACCESS.CKUA has survived as a community supported radio station. This week ACCESS was fully privatized.
This then is a tale of crony capitalism Alberta style.

When the people that hold office are working against the public good then anarchism and fair trade seem like the only alternative.
