CBC Job and Programming Cuts a Good Start

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has been forced to cut - that's right, cut - 115 million dollars and 650 jobs. From their website:

"CBC/Radio-Canada will eliminate hundreds of jobs, cancel some programs and boost ads as part of cost-cutting measures to cope with planned budget cuts outlined in the recent federal budget, the public broadcaster announced Wednesday.

We've made "gut-wrenching choices," CBC president and CEO Hubert T. Lacroix said during a townhall meeting for CBC employees.

Lacroix said the Corporation expects to eliminate 650 jobs over three years, including 475 this fiscal year. He said 60 per cent of the budget goes toward salary and that it would be impossible to take a hit of this magnitude and not affect jobs. Nearly 10,000 people are currently employed full time at the CBC"

On behalf of Canadians everywhere I say: not a bad start but let's just finish the job once and for all. Really now - The CBC has always been a breeding ground for liberal smut and hard-core stupidity bordering on child-abuse. Forcing the pseudo-science of anthropogenic global warming and goo-to-you via the zoo evolution hoaxes down the gullets of Canadians has gone far enough.

With a budget of over a billion dollars a year we could do a lot of good - like cut waiting lists to see specialists or purchase sorely needed diagnostic equipment. But no. Instead we pay the likes of Jian Gomeshi and Anna Maria Tremonti union wages to indoctrinate yet another generation into the mental disorder that is Liberalism.

It's time for the CBC to sink or swim. Defund that abomination now. The facts of life are conservative.
