Comments on: An Email and Live Protest on the CBC http://www.loudmurmurs.com/2008/03/30/an-email-and-live-protest-on-the-cbc/ "Be the change you wish to see in the world." — Mahatma Gandhi Wed, 17 Feb 2010 13:59:02 +0000 hourly 1 By: Kim Henderson http://www.loudmurmurs.com/2008/03/30/an-email-and-live-protest-on-the-cbc/comment-page-1/#comment-13917 Kim Henderson Mon, 01 Sep 2008 11:48:10 +0000 http://www.loudmurmurs.com/2008/03/30/an-email-and-live-protest-on-the-cbc/#comment-13917 The appointment of Hubert Lacroix by Stephen Harper (aka Big Brother) in 2007 seems to have started the harried dismantling of our collective Canadian voice. The loss of our culture (through both CBC Radio and Television - including political commentary inherent in Air Farce, Tom Allen's interesting little-known facts, etc.) is a measured step in politicizing and privatizing our previously public (democratic) culture. This is the New CBC - the Conservative Broadcasting Corporation. Writing the executives at CBC will probably do nothing, as Lacroix is in the PM's pocket. Newspapers, opposition party members might be the best choice. That's where I am directing what little voice I have left. This is not 1984. At least, not yet. Big Brother, we are watching you. Thank you so much for this website. Together, we just might be able to make a huge difference. That's how democracy works, I am told.

Some people like Gothe's program, but for me that'a annoying beyond belief, pop music stuck in between A movement from a work. Why can't the cbc play a WHOLE work ????? Danielle Charbonneau was the last person I've heard to have the courage to play music out of the usual repertoire, and complete pieces. She should get the Order of Canada for that. Good people, I've paid for those music libraries as have you, let's have someone play them for us. AND get the hell back to hiring orchestras -- hopw do new works get played ?????

You might also want to include the CRTC in your list, if they are not investigating this change, they need to!!! Their website has been timing out for the last few days, but I did find this address info@crtc.gc.ca 'Bye for now herbie Hello

It will raise attention and maybe even funds to go at these executive clowns. I will be pleased to contribute $100 even if it will only serve to help shame the clowns who run the CBC.
