Dear Senator Plett,
I'm cc'ing my MP on this because honesty and politeness jointly require it of me. That said...
This may indeed be a time for needed change at the CBC, but I *do not accept* that the needed changes are or should be any of the following:
- privatization
- privation (to any degree further than has already been inflicted by several governments including that run by your party at this point)
- pledge drives
- "Pravda-fication" (transformation into a "house" organ of the government of the day, no matter who happens to run that government)
- permanent closure
None of these are acceptable options to me as a Canadian citizen, and therefore, as a co-owner of the CBC. I want to make that clear to you right now. I dissent categorically against the content and intent of the report you've brought out on this subject.
Respectfully yours,
Dwight Williams
