Keep CBC Radio Commercial-free!

Target: Prime Minister Stephen Harper
Sponsored by: Friends of Canadian Broadcasting
With Stephen Harper cheering from the sidelines, CBC management is seriously considering polluting CBC radio with commercial messages!

While CBC says it needs the money from radio ads, we know that Prime Minister Harper has never liked CBC and that he'd like to commercialize or sell it all together.

Polluting CBC radio with ads might be music to Stephen Harper's ears, but it sounds like a disaster to us. Please send a message to Stephen Harper telling him to keep his hands off this national treasure.
deadline: 10-13-2009

Dear Prime Minister Harper,

CBC Radio is a national treasure. Your government should not even
contemplate allowing CBC to place ads on CBC Radio. Please make sure that this bad idea is stopped in its tracks and let me know what you are
personally prepared to do to make sure this abomination does not happen.
