The CBC as a Liberal breeding farm

Is the CBC a farm?  Is their main product Grade-A prime Canadian Liberal

This paragraph in a National Post article on the state-run CBC division of the Liberal Party caught my eye:

Mr. Rabinovitch’s high-stakes labour strategy suffered a major blow this week when public pressure brought federal Labour Minister Joe Fontana into the fray. Mr. Fontana urged the two sides to resume negotiations and, significantly, signalled that he supported the union stance: “We want long-term, permanent jobs for all our citizens,” he said.

In general terms, we all want long-term, permanent jobs.  But:

(1)  He’s taking sides?  Only in Canada! And oh, the fun of state-run socialist enterprises!

(2)  “We want long-term, permanent jobs for all our citizens”?  Surely on this point he misspoke.  Is he implying that regardless of the financial bottom line;  regardless of the business ramifications;  regardless of the measure of useful productivity;  regardless of how the top (Liberal appointed) board and management at the state-run media want to run things…  he as a Liberal Party politician and cabinet minister will tacitly dictate that the state must employ its citizens?  That’s simply communist thinking! 

Mr. Fontana sounds very much like a communist to me.  He and health minister Ujjal Dosanjh both sound very much like communists to me.

That’s the point of the state-run media?  That’s the point of all those Canadian government state-run enterprises which all compete against resourceful Canadian citizens? 

The CBC should be dismantled or sold, and a prohibition against government interference into free markets and private enterprise should be enshrined in our Constitution.  You want “long-term, permanent jobs for all our citizens,” Mr. Fontana and all other liberal-left ideologically-driven fundamentalists?  Get the government off our backs, out of our faces, and stop competing against your own citizens. 

What kind of a government would compete against its own citizens for their very livelihoods and that of their families?
