Are you kidding? He is going for the leadership of a national party, not my choice of
party but a national party none the less. I think most people will remember his dad,
and that may well prove the future of his fate again it may mean nothing at all.
Politics is made up of a series of living events and the ups and downs are recorded
every six weeks or so as polls often reflect.
The issues we faced are different from when his father was the PM and he may or
may not resonate with voters. It could be quite an election. If the young people come
and vote for him, and the older and middle class people vote for Mulcair because they
are becoming angry with Harper we could have a very different Parliament. The real
problem is, it usually takes a lot more to interest young people to vote until they hit
that thirty five year old mark.
I believe politics has moved on quite a bit, the Conservatives have their voters and the
new shift seems to be toward the NDP and the Liberals are still looking for a reason to
be relevant and this move shows they are to some degree grasping at straws.
Trudeau getting news coverage is not the end of the world, its just another event in the
history of Canada. Its like a kid following his father in an entertainment clip wait a
minute this is more entertainment than news. Its not threatening or even entertaining
for that matter.

Trudeau will help split the anti Harper vote with the NDP.
This will ensure a larger majority for Harper!!! Hahaha!!!
Of course this assumes Trudeau gets the Lib leadership vote.

Eloquent as usual.

Quite likely but not guaranteed. The election is still 2 and a half years away. A lot can happen in all three parties in that time. A year and a half ago most would have thought the idea of the NDP forming the official opposition to be laughable, or that Jack Layton would be dead within a few months unlikely. You never know how quickly things can change one way or the other.

I almost never watch TV, but when I do, it usually is the CBC or SRC. They can have good programming sometimes, but seeing that CBC/SRC are certainly not necessities (there are pelnty of alternative channels in French and English across Canada), I find it insulting to First Nations that we should be funding them at all. We should privatise the CBC/SRC entirely, cut funding to all French and English stations, and let the market sort them out.

Aaaahhhhh, A voice of reason from the east!!
Absolutely it should be privatized, but there are far too many bleeding heart Libs to make this happen.

My Tax supported broadcaster has put aside its regular programming to cover Trudeau's leadership announcement.

They don't do it for others who make a leadership announcement, why this fk head???

Now I've read that apparently some people depend on CBC radio in more isolated areas. That might be reasonable (I'm undecided on that), but certainly we don't need the CBC in cities like Ottawa where I live for instance.

And CBC TV should certainly be regarded as a luxury we can do without. Good programming, no disputing that, but just not a necessity. By ****ogy, Prego makes good spaghetti sauce, but you don't see the government subsidizing that now do you?

Yeah, surprising huh, seeing you seem to believe reason is somehow genetic or runs in the spring water in Alberta or something.

When i was working in the James Bay Lowlands all we got was the CBC.... It was Terrible!!!!

My favourite radio segment ever that was on the CBC was the elephant playing the french horn while balancing with one foot on a yoga ball....

hing.
If isolated areas of the north need support to bring them programming then this can be put out to numerous broadcasters and tendered. The one with the best proposal gets to service these areas for say 5 years, and then retendered after that..
No need to single source it to only CBC. Let them compete with everybody else. !!

Or that too.

Then again, seeing that Federal should deal only with national issues, if we're talking about local or reagonal broadcasters it might even make more sense to let local governments foot the bill for things like that.

That would also mean more local pertinent content.

Did someone sell you some bad crack? What outfit is going to make money broadcasting to a remote area population 300, 500 miles from anywhere? Communication should be a right to every Canadian no matter where they live. How much time do you spend listening to C.B.C. radio?

Does it make sense to spend a couple of billion dollars each year to service 'remote' communities?

Hell, it'd be cheaper to buy all the residents a satellite dish and free subscriptions to the service.

Your not very smart are you? Kinda a real dumbo!!

I was saying that the Government would tender a broadcasting service to isolated areas in the north, and then pay the selected broadcaster his tendered fee for the service. No need to only give it to CBC..
Man your dumb!!

Probably, when you consider the hundreds or possibly thousands of remote communities across the country. $Two billion is probably far less than we pay just servicing all the federal and provincial debts or maybe even flying politicians around the country and overseas!

I see two problems here. If we just have our own CBC, it always runs a risk of unionizing and going on strike to push for higher wages, forcing the government to raise the amount it spends.

For the 5 year thing, it's not like a radio station can just set itself up for only five years.

Another possible solution would be a kind of voucher system whereby people living in isolated communities would be given a voucher they can give to the station of their choice. Then the issue is maintaining multiple stations.

Unless you can come up with a better idea?

Another one if we deem it an essential service is to have our own CBC but deem it an essential service.

To make it accountable you might allow those in rural communities to actually vote for the board of directors or something of the sort i suppose?
