Kady O'Malley at the Manning Conference

[dewline]

Conservatives in Canada are divided on whether or not CBC should be shut down, scaled back...or expanded.

Kady O'Malley goes into some detail about the debate...and some other aspects of their debates on other subjects. Debates to keep an eye on.

Man, expand it! We're in danger of massive cutbacks on the Public Broadcasting Service and National Public Radio for The Cheetoh Benito to fund his massive military build-up. This includes cutting back or eliminating PBS Kids 24, a 24-hour channel of PBS programming just for kids, tremendously popular and useful in children's hospitals where kids with some conditions may not be able to sleep for any significant length of time.

The worst part of some of his cuts is that he's wanting to eliminate programs that cost hundreds of millions, meanwhile he's wanting to through billions at law enforcement and the military, so the rational behind the cuts is irrational. What's actually happening is the Republicans want to eliminate programs that encourage creativity and independent thought and reasoning as the more people think, they become more open to other cultures and the less likely they are to side with the Republicans.

So expand the CBC! It's going to be perhaps Canada's best defence to resist what's going on down here from creeping up there!

I have heard and read of these developments, and find them disgusting and frightening, as you do. I intend to contribute to that effort to strengthen the Ceeb.
