That never gets old, thanks Kate and EBD !
From Mark's link:
"The federal Department of Finance has flagged several prominent Crown corporations as 'not self-sustaining,' including the CBC, VIA Rail and the National Arts Centre, and has identified them as entries that could be sold as part of the government's asset review, newly released documents show."

Thank you to small dead animals for this "Not Waiting..." series. I am so tired of the news media and their endless holier-than-thou preaching and their manipulative, carefully edited half truths.
How many times do you read "Off duty cop caught for ....", "Church minister charged ...." or "Teacher charged with ...." but gee, You never seem to EVER read "Journalist charged with ..." or "Reporter accused of ....."
It MUST BE because they're just soooo damned honest.
Scumbags just cover for one another because they fear if one rats out the other the other will retaliate.
