Help Save CBC, Canada's Public Broadcaster
by Bluesandjazzguy
15 December 2010
On November 23rd, Stephen Harper's secret plan for the CBC was revealed when the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Heritage mused publicly about killing our public broadcaster!
On Dec 6th, the matter of the government's plan for the CBC was raised in Parliament. The Heritage Minister was asked to disavow his Parliamentary Secretary's idea of cutting all funding to the CBC. Twice Minister Moore was asked to dismiss the notion that the government should kill public broadcasting. And, twice he refused to do so. You can see the exchange in the House of Commons here.
It's widely known that the Prime Minister Harper exercises absolute control of his government's messaging. None of his Ministers, Parliamentary Secretaries or MPs speak out without prior approval from the Prime Minister's Office.
We recognize the threat posed by Harper could be the most serious peril CBC has ever faced. Now is the time for all of us who love and depend on the CBC to stand up and be counted.
Please sign the petition and help spread the word!
