Arrêtez l’agenda de Stephen Harper pour l’avenir de la CBC (Radio-Canada, Bande à part)

Stephen Harper aimerait entendre de jolies pubs sur les ondes de Radio-Canada. Nous on dit non merci et on vous invite à faire pareil. CBC c’est aussi Bande à part, Radio-Canada, CBC Radio 3…

Voici la description du groupe Facebook qu’il faut joindre.  Ça donne un bon aperçu de la situation.

With the CBC reeling from Stephen Harper’s willful neglect, the recession and decisions by his hand-picked President, the Prime Minister’s true agenda for Canada’s public broadcaster is coming out from the shadows.

Stephen Harper has never liked the CBC; he’d like to commercialize or sell it altogether:

In the past weeks, the Conservatives have:

- Reduced CBC’s budget by $63 million in their spending plan for the coming year – that’s $75 million with inflation,

- Decided that CBC will get no help to weather the recession amid reports that the government plans to bail out private broadcasters, and

- Demanded that CBC fulfill its mandate knowing full well it lacks the resources to do so.

CBC is facing a $200 million shortfall. Unless we act by building a grassroots movement of support, this could be the end of Canada’s public broadcaster as we know it.

Please take action by joining this group, then sending a message to Stephen Harper urging him to properly fund the CBC:
