Canada brings down ax on TV, film funding

[Fix The Stupid]

24. I'm a little confused.

If wanting accountability for the $billion the CBC gets every year does not fit in with your definition of 'liberal', then I have to plead guilty to being a bad liberal on this one.

How is this any different than demanding to know what the military spends their tax $ on? I see no difference. If you are receiving public funds then your books should be wide open to scrutiny. Anything less will lead to situations like the ORNGE scandal.

Only when things are 100% transparent can you trust anyone or entity with our tax dollars.

How can this possibly be argued?

And yes, the knuckledraggers of the CRAP party hate the arts, not going to argue that one bit. - this is where that US style of politics is rearing it's ugly head. See my sig-line. These are nothing but talking points the cons use to rile up their base. I hate to see my Canada go down this road - we are better than that.

And I kind of see your point on the 10% thing - if the cons are constantly cutting the CBC and they are just using the current economic situation to FURTHER slash the CBC, than that isn't right either. But, times are tough, and people like you and me cannot always take the brunt of the "hurt" as it always seems like we are...it needs to be spread around in a little more equitable fashion.
