PART ONE
The state-owned CBC advertises—at our own expense—on all media: TV, internet, newspapers—in order to steer Canadians to their news programs, their “entertainment” shows, their political opinion columnists and news reports on their website, and to their radio stations and to Sirius Satellite Radio Canada (which they own nearly half of—why? Who knows?!), and so on. And, by logical extension, they do this to steer folks away from private citizen-owned media. On purpose! Thus, the government is competing against its own citizens. At our expense. Think about that awhile.
Yet this is how the CBC’s own advertising rules read, under the heading “Unacceptable Products And Services”: Along with tobacco products and “occult services”, they indicate that they won’t accept advertisers which offer “…services considered competitive with CBC services”. That, they write, is “unacceptable on CBC facilities …”.
Plainly, that is left-wing extremist, fascist, Orwellian, crap. The CBC, so long as it despicably exists, should be forced by law to advertise nothing but competing services —for free. But of course state-owned media shouldn’t even exist in free countries.
Capitalist-oriented companies should advertise on media that doesn’t rely on a socialist model for its very existence. But I can’t and don’t want to force them to do what I know is right. They’re free to be total idiots and support socialism-reliant media like the CBC.
Moreover, our government has proven to be nothing short of a cheerleader squad for the socialism-reliant state-owned CBC, which by extension propagates and perpetuates this anti-capitalist and undemocratic idiocy.
So what are we to do as regular Canadian citizens—the erstwhile and annoyingly silent Canadian majority who have made it a “Canadian Value” to sit here, bend over, and take it—short of launching one of those riotous, sloganeering mass protests, festooned with protest signs that the liberal-left so love to engage in to get their way on every single issue? I mean especially considering that those only work for left-wing issues since by and large, the media doesn’t even cover traditional, conservative, or sane Canadian issues like ours, which is half the point of those protest rallies.
For a start, we could shun, in every way we can, any companies who advertise on the CBC’s various properties—mainly TV and their web site.
And so I’m going to try to help that happen.
We shouldn’t support businesses who don’t support—in fact help others work against—us. I’m going to name the names of advertisers on the CBC web site, and keep that list here, in the public’s eye.
Stay tuned for Part Two and more action plans, which include running a newspaper ad I’ve already mentioned before (see blow). In the meantime, note the advertisers who advertise on the CBC.ca web site. When I post my list, compare notes to ensure I haven’t left any companies off.
