1) The CBC provides a service NOT provided by private industry. 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!
