A good start.

Non-partisan content from a recent non-partisan email from the Coalition-supporting-non-partisan Ian Morrison;
As you know, last week’s economic update has provoked a political crisis in Ottawa with the three opposition parties announcing Monday that they are joining forces to defeat the Harper government and support a Liberal/NDP coalition until at least June 2010. It’s worth noting that the Liberal/NDP “accord”, which the Bloc has offered to support, specifically refers to two of our priorities:
1. “Both parties are committed to restoring the integrity, transparency and efficiency of the appointments process in the Public Service and in federal bodies like the Supreme Court, the Senate, and Commissions like the CRTC.”
2. “Other Priorities to Stimulate the Economy: support for culture, including the cancellation of budget cuts announced by the Conservative government.”

Update – SDA gets results…
i just tried to send a message off but it says the campaign is now closed….laughing my ass off….kate rocks
GOD DAMNIT!!! They changed the form. You can no longer costomize it. When I tried to click on the message it sent the thing they wrote. With my f’ing name on it.
And now they’ve altered their form to prevent Canadians from writing their own messages – Screen shot. Looks like they were in a hurry – Kelly Block has apparently signed her own message on my behalf.
FRIENDS of Canadian Broadcasting seem somewhat reluctant to share a phone number on their website, but I found one elsewhere

At the moment they appear to be hiding behind an answering machine.
Heh – “Kate’s post went up at 11:17 and the camapign was over by 11:57 as near as I can calculate. 40 minutes. Now that’s action. I guess Mr. Morrison doesn’t have as many “friends” as he thought.”
The new name for CBC- “Cut Backs Coming”
Imagine my outrage when CBC cancelled the somewhat successful series ‘Street Legal’! There went my weekly fix of Cindy Dale’s legs. lol. Shut the whole damn thing down.
dodger, I listen to CBC 2 for the classical music—that’s all these days. But the news is on once an hour, so I still hear the all Liberal, all the time propaganda. On the internet, I also watched Peter Mansbridge’s interview (more like an interrogation) with PMSH. I then put in a(nother) complaint to the CBC Ombudsman—just for a paper trail, as the CBC thinks it can do no wrong. (When the CBC news gets its comeuppance, there will definitely be plenty of evidence of their bias on hand.)
It’s called “Know thy enemy.”
You know guys, I hate to say it but not only don’t I listen to CBC, I don’t even listen to radio anymore. I put the collection on random play and have Phantom FM right there. Radio is CRAP and has been since like 1989. I pine for the old Spirit of Radio days on CFNY.
On TV I pretty much watch Discovery channel, I tape four science fiction shows and blip through the commercials. That’s about it. Rent the odd DVD now and again.
The thing is, I can’t stand to watch the tube anymore. It isn’t just puerile, it isn’t just boring, it actively offends me. All propaganda, all the time. Idiots, the lot of them.
Small wonder they are all going bankrupt. Faster please!
dp: “Why does the CBC need a support group anyway?”
From the list of Board Members of the Friends of the CBC on past letterheads of the organization, I think the answer to your question is purely self-interest on their parts.
Most of them benefit or have benefited from exposure on the CBC and if the CBC didn’t exist it’s hard to imatgine what other network would take them seriously.
It’s a case of I’ll scratch your back if you’ll scratch mine, all within a small coterie of Canadian elites who live side by side, party at one another’s homes, and cottage together.
SPARE. US. GET. RID. OF. THEM. ALL. NOT. ONE. MORE. RED. CENT. TO. THE. CBC.
CTV had to cut programming, including ‘Canadian Idol.’
On the other hand, the CBC believes that it has a right to be comfortably cushioned by taxpayer dollars against a downturn in the economy, as well as audience and advertising revenue, because it’s a Canadian institution representing us all.
I’d love to see them further justify their existence with actual programming:
“If we don’t get the funding, we’ll be forced to cancel Canadian favourites such as ‘Little Mosque on the Prairie.'”
The horror! The outrage!
The CBC is at it again – things are relatively calm in Afghanistan, so it must be time to malign the good work that NATO is doing – oh wait, on cue comes:
‘Abusive Coalition Raids’…. http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2008/12/23/afghan-report.html
It’s too bad the CBC was soooo busy reporting on NATO’s failures that they didn’t have time to let us in on the report on the Taliban’s abuses here:

The CBC’s days of pro-Israel propaganda may be running down, and with CanWest global slowly dying off, perhaps there can emerge a truth-telling media, not under the thumb of globalists or warmongering Israel-first UberKikes?
PS: Go to hell, all you braindead circumcised UberKike/globalist-loving retards whether you call yourself a Con or Lib, you are shit. What a glorious event, the economic crash is! Your corrupt society is going straight down. I hope it keeps you up at night, and Oh yeah Talmud Harper won’t save you, neither will Talmud Ignatieff. The plutocracy is going down, and you with lips vapourlocked on it are going down with it! Hallelujah!
The CBC should be forced to sell their majority stake in Sirius Satellite Radio Canada, rumour has it that it is filled with Liberal hacks, it is also not required to disclose financials as it is private company. Somebody should ask former Liberal MP Karen Redman about this, but she would probably use the time tested Liberal response of, “I know nothing.”
The problem with cutting back the CBC is that the rest of Canadian radio is so bloody awful! The current trend of featuring “two nitwits prattling on and on” is everywhere, and content is zero. I wouldn’t mind CBC cuts if there were something else to listen to. In Vancouver, we don’t even have a Christian radio station, but we have 24×7 Sikh and Chinese broadcasting, a Marxist-Leninist co-op radio station, and about a dozen “soft rock” stations. These days I listen to CBC out of desperation. It’s all that we have left.
Don Cherry reminded viewers during HNIC not to forget that Christmas was baby Jesus’s birthday.He said it with such conviction that it seemed to be aimed at more than just the viewership,CBC executives heads exploding?
