What do we cut?
The CBC is a fundamental part of our country - just like the right to break your leg and not worry about your Visa balance. Canada has a lot of problems, like our need to find and retain more professional young people, or our need to provide enough doctors for people, or our need to provide our military with reliable equipment (not to depose the mideast enemy of the month, mind you, but to help put out forest fires in BC, or to help turn the lights back on after an ice storm in Quebec...these kinds of things). I'd rather we concentrated on these things than blamed CBC for the problems with Medicare.
Why do we have to cut public services? Why not cut tax breaks to corporations? Why don't we look at how much money the banks make (what's that? you say you lost money this year? I guess you shouldn't have gotten involved with Enron then, should you...)? The plain truth is that there is a lot more that Canada could be doing, rather than looking at which GREAT parts of the country we should chop up.
