The Editor,
Re. "Should Canadian taxpayers continue to help fund CBC?" (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, Nov. 18).
Face to Face columnist Andy Radia's idea to privatize CBC because Canada can't afford it is feeble. Purchase one less fighter jet from the U.S. and we can save enough to run CBC for five years.
Yes, American programs are shown on CBC because they help the bottom line and Canadians want to see them. Canadian arts and culture would be seriously damaged without the CBC.
CBC investigative programs help protect the citizens from any federal political scams and illegal schemes. I feel CBC is a good bargain for Canadians.
