Open Letter to Senator Don Plett on the Matter of CBC Funding

[dewline]

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
