That is precisely why it *is* provided by government. Nobody says that YOU have to listen to CBC. But it's there, and WE, as society, have decided to pay for it. 2) Just because YOU don't like something doesn't mean it's moral (moral?) to allow you to NOT pay for it. Do you want out of road taxation? What about railroad wheat cars? What about national defense? Where do you draw the line? What is this, the "me generation" hotline? Sell the crown corps, everybody fend for him/her-self. Scrap anything provided by government in the national interest. If it doesn't make money, ditch it. If it does make money, give it away to the friends of the politicians. Jeeze!
