dewlineOkay, I've had a few warm welcomes from some of the allies and friends. I'm somewhat over the shock of making the decision, and have decided to stick with it.
That said...it's good to feel welcome.
It's also good to know that the CBC Lockout of 2005 is over and done. We've had enough disruptions of the National Fabric of late, given the entire NHL season that already went into the toilet thanks to both sides of that mess not giving an inch until after it was too late.
Whoever saw sense at CBC Management, the Canadian Media Guild, Parliament...my thanks to you all for solving this part of the mess. You know who you are.
That said, I'd very much like to see CBC more securely funded. It's our National Public Broadcaster, our institution for recording history "on the fly"(as opposed to the National Library and Archives, which serves the historians of "sober, second thought"...not unlike Parliament's ideal view of the Senate, but more egalitarian in structure). And our main forum for telling our own works of audio and video fiction to ourselves, at least for the moment. Improvements are already being worked out by the formerly-Locked Out and their saner and smarter managers(and I know such are out there). The stabilized funding will make it easier in some ways to get those improvements done, as far as I'm concerned.
I think I'm done for the moment. More in a little while, hopefully on comic books.
