Lots of businesses (and yes they are a business as they are in competition with other news & entertainment providers), are rewriting budgets, putting projects on hold, selling surplus property (CBC bldg downtown Toronto), staff layoffs, salaries and perks downsized or frozen. How many more suggestions do they need. Can't see the forest for the trees - special doesn't cut it anymore - they are not indispensable. They do not speak for all Canadians (I don't seem my voice and views in their programming). The sun will come up in the morning and set at nite - just not with a rosy CBC glow.
