Sick Daze at CBC

According to government Access to Information documents obtained by Sunmedia, CBC spent $15 Million for employee sick days in 2006/07. A majority of those sick days went to the French CBC radio and TV staff in Quebec.
Canadians pay approximately $500 each per year for 'cultural concepts' like museums, libraries, etc. but around 80% of that money goes to the CBC, CRTC and Can. Television Fund.
Studies have shown that cultural spending is overwhelmingly consumed by the well-to-do and paid for by the masses of poorer people who don't even listen to or watch the wasteful public broadcaster.
Snubbing its’ nose at rural Canada, CBC is well known for promoting 'alternate' and radical feminist life choices in its’ broadcasts such as airing the first live homosexual 'wedding' on a cold Sabbath day in Feb/04 and avoiding equal time for differing opinions.
We're happy for the 6% of Canadian elites who actually view CBC but the majority of us are fed up with our public funds going to pay for utter stupidity, biased, agenda-driven reporting, huge salaries and in case I didn't mention it, biased, agenda-driven reporting. On top of all that we have Public Television with its’ own agendas.
CBC may have been relevant 50 years ago when there was a shortage of information networks but today, with a broad variety of providers, plus the internet, the CBC has become a Billion dollar a year, obsolete and unnecessary yoke on Canadian taxpayers who prefer to spend their money on their own choices, like any other charity.
Since when is it the publics responsibility to support a socialist enterprise that losses hundreds of millions of dollars every year? At a time when the real market industry is looking for financial support, it is irresponsible for our government to be pouring our money into frivolous enterprises like the arts and entertainment world.
CBC content is made in the big cities, for the big cities and, like all of the pollution they send us, is unneeded and unwanted by most rural citizens.
If our cultural elites want to listen to classical radio and watch 'Steve and Chris' every day, let them pay for it, sick days included.
