Beware of those who speak for capital markets, whose tongue may more easily be seen to be forked? :lol:

Beav
We all have our histories Beav - but you continue to see the dark side of things.
I assume (hopefully correct) you are a native and original dweller in Canada and can appreciate the problems that slavery created in the U.S. You were probably brought up to hate and be suspicious of anyone who didn't share your background.
Slavery was (and still is in many places) one of the most horrendous acts a government can perpetrate on a group of humans. If you are a Native, the Canadian government also had a hand in failure regarding your people.
All of the Americas were born in blood and gore...in fact most civilizations were born in exploration, battle, conquest, and killing.
Your life is probably a walk in the park compared with some people living in North Korea, or VietNam, or the Phillipines for example.
You have a computer! Do you know what means to some?
Thing is Beav - why not the put frustration aside and grow into happiness and forgiveness. Anger can make life so depressing. It's your choice to enjoy your life or go looking for targets.
Each and every one of us has a story here and you don't know what adversities others face daily, but they don't come here to rework the anger....I think they come to find friendships and taste something different they may not have in their own lives.
Victims are never satisfied - I guess that is my message - and governments don't seem to get it.
What you believe is righteous Beav - it's just that I don't happen to think the way you do. That doesn't make me evil, nor do I think you are evil. You make me angry and I want to lash out at you but that is something I am trying to overcome. My problem.
Anyway....have a good Saturday and I mean that sincerely....

RE: Give your opinion on
You have a good saturday yourself Child. I am native but only in the sense that I was born in Canada. I am a native earthling. I am not now frustrated,I was for a long time but now I'm happy, my enemys are burning in the confusion of choice, drowning in wealth, doomed.
While I may stand in the dark side I look into the light, it is ahead of me, there is as much darkness in the glass as there is light, we know nothing of light without an eaqul and opposite contemplation of dark.

If you're going to drown in something, wealth seems to me to be at the top of the list.

Sassy shaking her head, Beaver sometimes you remind me of the movie The Seven Faces of Eve". Seven personalities are hard to understand, or converse with.
CBC is great programming you get nothing like it on any other channel in Canada or really in North America. Hard hitting docs and even on going shows like "The Hour". Some acuse the CBC as being leftist, but that comes from the right as many leftists also acuse the CBC as having a right slant at times. Really the CBC rellies on coperate and government sponcership so they have both interests at the door. Also if you ask me the Liberal government was truly anything like a real leftist government so the whole leftist thing I find is just coming from the extreme or dumb-ass right.
However I tend to watch history channel the most anyhow.

Any organization can occassionally come up with some good programming if they had over a billion taxpayers dollars to spend.
With only 5% viewing ratings it should be cut loose. Put the billion into child care rather than the Liberal media arm.
Canada must be the only Western nation left with a government financed network. You do not bite the hand that feeds you so is it any wonder they are biased after decades of Liberal regimes?
One can spend all day at CBC Watch if you are a glutton for punishment.

The CBC provides a service.
There are many northern communities that wouldn't have TV if it wasn't for CBC.

Toronto -- CTV's Robert Hurst (The News Ratings -- letter, Dec. 22) takes umbrage with a Decima poll that shows 38 per cent of Canadians "turn to the CBC for election coverage" while a similar percentage turns to CTV.
Not satisfied with parity with CBC, Mr. Hurst tries to switch the focus to CTV by distorting the ratings. Without acknowledging it, he ignores the thousands of Canadians who watch CBC News programming on Newsworld and, in one of his references, actually includes the CBC lockout period when CBC programming was disrupted.
If you include Newsworld viewers as well as those who watch CTV news programs on CTV Newsnet, the accurate audience ratings from Nielsen Media are the following: Since the end of the CBC lockout, CBC's The National has been averaging 1.03 million viewers a night compared with 989,000 on CTV. CBC's overall audience for the recent election debate was 753,000 viewers against CTV's total audience of 706,000. And in the 2004 election, CBC's audience was 2.05 million versus 1.8 million for CTV in the pivotal 90-minute block after the polls closed.
Rather than bragging about CTV as the "hands-down clear winner," as Mr. Hurst does, I think we should all celebrate the fact that Canadians have a choice between strong and professional news organizations.

Also considering we need something with Canadian content on the air ways,cutting the CBC from fed funding would be nuts.

The government needs to give the CBC more funding. Previous Conservative governments have given budget cuts to the CBC. Now the CBC is not going to be able to afford to host the 2010 Vancouver Olympics or the 2012 London Olympics. This ticks me off because the CBC has great olympic coverage.
