The CBC sucks. It is lead by a bunch of leaderless and visionless hogs who live off the taxpayers money. Unless true changes come to the hollow CBC put a bullet in its empty, pathetic head.
What were they thinking to not honor Bernard 'Boom Boom' Geofferion; one of the true innovators of hockey? Last I checked the CBC is meant to support all Canadians. It is clear that it is a Toronto-centric network running rampant. Especially in light that they annoyed us with that laughable ceremony honoring Tie Domi's 1000th game.
Once upon a time the CBC offered a split telecast with Hockey Night in Canada. The West got to watch the misery that were the Toronto Maple Leafs while Atlantic Canada and Quebec got the legendary Habs. My suspicion this was done so because the Montreal Canadiens were always a legitimate threat to win the Stanley Cup while the Maple Saps were not. Now that the Leafs are somewhat successful they backstab the Habs and run with this inept organization.*
I have grown tired of the CBC using MY MONEY to push the Toronto agenda. Every single one of their groupthink bosses make no sense anymore. While the CBC offers superb radio programming (though some of it feels as though they are broadcasting from early 20th century Moscow) it does need to rethink its raison d'etre. If not, privatize the sucker once and for all. Or if they are worth their salt and arrogance let them have pledge drives a-la Vermont ETV and other PBS stations. Alas, they can't do that! How will they earn their ridiculous high salaries? Nothing like a Crown corporation existing on public funds to pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars, eh? Ah, capitalism - Canadian style. First they fire the talented and classy Chris Cuthbert and now they first Montreal viewers to watch the Leafs. Time to call out the CBC once and for all and wash out the shower slime.
I'll close on this note. Nancy Lee - whoever she is. I think she was the genius who fired Cuthbert and has the purse strings to money that does not belong to her - was quoted as saying that she does hope that Toronto makes the playoffs. Not only are they comedic at the CBC they apparently lack class.
Where's my Beretta?
*Note: The Canadiens are just as culpable in their ineptness. To have waited so long to retire #5 was a travesty. I would like to think they learned their lesson. I doubt it.
