CBC lockout officially ends
Happy-looking CBC workers returned to the network’s broadcast centre Tuesday morning, hugging one another and claiming victory in the eight-week lockout dispute.

Does this English TV broadcaster really serve a national purpose in some way? If it does, it's at a cost that is obscene. 1 billion of our tax payers money goes towards them. What do they do with the extra money they get from advertising? Could they not be privatized? Compete with the big networks out there? Perhaps they would not survive as most Canadians these days tune in to other networks. Wouldn't this mean that Canadians who don't watch CBC should be entitled to a tax refund? Hey, I want some money back!!
