Why can't we switch the taxpayers' 1 Billion dollars that we waste on CBC to CTV. They are proving to be better than CBC in every way and if they had the kind of money that the CBC is playing around with, just imagine how much better this station would become. Someone in CTV has a firm grip on reality and does not waste our money putting on shows like "little mosque on the prairie" and getting grumpy looking folks trying to tell us that our PM is going too far with this and not doing enough with that, blah, blah, blah.
After a very long time not watching TV, I sat for hours in front of the idiot box watching the Corner Gas marathon on New Year's day. The show is set in Saskatchewan and each and every character is well played. Brent Butt is the creator of the show and also plays the character Brent Leroy. I guess if you are the creator you can very well keep your own first name. CTV also has the popular "Lost" and were smart enough to bring on the much talked about show "V" the new season of which is supposed to air in a few weeks.
I don't know about you, but after having watched a couple of CBC's "mosque" episodes, I started getting a pukey feeling in my mouth. Indeed of showing immigrants getting assimilated with the rest of Canadians, and the best way to do that is to dress like the rest of us, the show starting showing Canadian women taking on the immigrants' muslim garb. Everything is topsy-turvy in the lefty world of the CBC.
Why can't we stop funding the CBC and instead divert that money to CTV?
How about we just stop funding the CBC. Then the private broadcasters wont have to compete with them for advertising dollars and they may actually be profitable. Then maybe the local tv tax can go away.
