No, you obviously don't know what your talking about. Those areas that have no coverage can be provided coverage for those areas only. No need to provide the whole country with biased coverage when only a couple areas have no coverage. Use your head a bit..

From the Canada Media Fund for starters. Second, individual stations operated by CTV and Global get subsidies from the Local Programming Improvement Fund. On top of other funds doled out by the CRTC. If you were paying attention at all during the Quebecor CBC spat, you might have noticed the subsidies given to Quebecor. CTV and Global are no different.
By the way, I was born in BC.
Kids would still go to school if Global went off the air, factories would still manufacture goods... do you not remember what you posted?
Almost. There are some exceptions.
Aside from being able to run into a burning building when anyone in their right mind would be going the opposite way.
In any event tax credits do not really cost the government any money. It is simply money they do not rake in,just as a lost sale does not cost a company money.
Interior attack is not a requirement. It all depends on the level of service that the municipality provides.
Semantics.
Dodge noted.
Here, let me refresh your memory, or educate you, since it's more likely you probably don't know this...
- A volunteer firefighter must have a permanent residence within 6 minutes travel time to Station 5 (2241 Kilbride Street, Burlington) or reside within the City of Burlington with a response time of 20 minutes to Station 1 (1255 Fairview Street, Burlington).
- If an applicant is employed; their work location may also be within a travel time of 6 minutes to Station 5 (2241 Kilbride Street, Burlington) or within 20 minutes to Station 1 (1255 Fairview Street, Burlingon) and the individual may, with written permission from their employer, respond to emergencies within the primary response district of their according volunteer company.
- Emergency response attendance must be achieved and maintained at a minimum of 30% of the total emergency responses dispatched to the station they are assigned within a calendar year.
- Training attendance (every Wed. evening and mandatory training as required) must be achieved and maintained at a minimum of 70% of the training sessions and/or completion of 100% of the mandatory training within a calendar year.
- A volunteer firefighter must be 18 years of age or older.
- Legally entitled to work in Canada
I can see at least 4 on that list that would completely make my becoming a VFF, impossible, by their standards. And that doesn't even include the health requirements.
No, it would make your becoming a VFF at that station impossible. You could still become a VFF.
We don't have that many restrictions. We also have members that are black hats as well as a junior program.
Nonsense.
Did you miss the part about health?
I don't live 6 minutes from a station, should I move? I'm self employed and work all over, should I volunteer at the nearest station every time I bid on a new contract, or just bid on contracts within 6 minutes of a station?
Here's another, more comprehensive list of requirements...
1. You must provide accurate, complete and signed application and test registration forms by the stipulated deadline. You must provide the necessary documentation to support your qualifications.
2. You must submit a clear Police Clearance Vulnerable Sector Search, free of any convictions for which a pardon has not been granted, obtained at your own expense from Hamilton Police Services, upon receiving a conditional offer of employment.
3. You must have a valid driver’s licence in good standing with less than seven (7) demerit points. Hamilton Emergency Services - Fire (HES - Fire) will obtain the abstract.
4. You must successfully pass a written aptitude test and a physical agility test.
5. You must successfully pass an interview process.
6. You must provide three (3) positive references.
7. You must successfully complete the required medical evaluation by a physician designated by HES - Fire.
8. You must successfully complete the recruit training program.
9. You must agree to certain employment conditions in order to be employed, and to remain employed, as a Volunteer Firefighter.
Those two there, would preclude me. No special status for me than.
