If others wanted to look at them, that was their business. But I received a shock*today, I read in a responsible newspaper that the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora- tion, a government agency, under- writes, or subsidizes, up to 409% of the production costs of many of these advertising programs. As a taxpayer, I resent subsidizing those who sell their produéts by spon- soring television broadcasts of wrest- ling matches. I can't for the life of me understand how the government justi- fies this Canadian Broadcasting Cor- poration activity, = In the first place, I don't think the Crown should be engaged in selling any. products, In the 2nd place, I think any company that wants to use television should pay for it. They should pay the whole bill, not just 60% of it. Why should Canadians who detest many of these broadcasts be forced to pay up to 409 of their cost? : On the telephone, I put this matter up to some advertising .men, and some companies which are ~ advertising. They said they had to do whatever CBC told them, or stay out of tele-| vision. = But they didn't want their nameg mentioned -- like many other people, they seem to be scared stiff of the CBC. You run into this fear of the Cana- dian Broadcasting Corporation every- where you go. One of the few bodies with courage enough to complain, was the Canadian Weekly Newspaper As- sociation, Many writers on the big dailies are afraid to say "Boo", for fear they will no longer be asked to speak on the air or to appear on tele- vision, 2 It seems to me to_be a terrible thing when large bodies of Canadians are forced to pay to subsidize pro- grams they detest, - And it is an-even Canadians have the courage to com- plain!
