of entertainment contracts. We believe CBC may have primary control over what happens with AnnE at this point. That& #39;s why demand & profits don& #39;t matter as much as they would if Netflix was the one with the most control. CBC is a Crown Corporation, meant to serve the Canadianhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔽" title="Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck" aria-label="Emoji: Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck">
public, with a mandate to provide news & entertainment throughout the country. Its primary goal is NOT to become popular with the rest of the world, or make a huge profit, although those are bonuses. It& #39;s mainly paid for by https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇨🇦" title="Flagge von Kanada" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Kanada"> taxpayers, through government funds. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔽" title="Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck" aria-label="Emoji: Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck">
The present federal govt is Liberal (headed by the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau). They have NO plan for privatization of CBC. Tait, CBC& #39;s President, was appointed to her role by the Governor General, on the advice of JT. But the present govt has been plagued by a series ofhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔽" title="Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck" aria-label="Emoji: Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck">
scandals. Parliament is on a recess ("prorogued"), due to resume Sept. 23. An election may be called this fall. But there could also be a Cabinet reshuffling/a Liberal Party Convention, with a new Leader of the Party by then. What has already occurred is that the Oppositionhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔽" title="Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck" aria-label="Emoji: Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck">
(the Progressive Conservatives), has elected a leader, Erin O& #39;Toole, whose main platform has been to "defund the CBC," specifically, all Digital programming & 50% defunding of English language news & entertainment, with the goal to fully privatize by the end of his mandate,https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔽" title="Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck" aria-label="Emoji: Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck">
if his party wins the next election & he becomes the new PM. Many people oppose this idea, including people who otherwise might support the PC& #39;s. The lobbying group, Friends of Canadian Broadcasting, have been rallying support to oppose the plan, in the event of an election.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔽" title="Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck" aria-label="Emoji: Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck">
That group has been our ally & have been heard by the CRTC, the govt body that oversees CBC& #39;s broadcast licence (which just expired) & by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Cdn Heritage, which also reviews how well CBC is fulfilling its mandate & managing its funds.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔽" title="Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck" aria-label="Emoji: Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck">
Among other things, they are concerned about the potential loss of excellent programming that is produced by CBC, including AnnE, that& #39;s very popular globally. Most Canadian members of Anne Nation support the work of Friends of Canadian Broadcasting & shared their recent emailshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔽" title="Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck" aria-label="Emoji: Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck">
to Minister Guilbeault (Tait& #39;s boss) & to Mr. O& #39;Toole. What ALL members of Anne Nation can do is send OUR email to Minister Guilbeault, with cc& #39;s to a variety of other, key, federal Ministers, as well as the provincial ministers of tourism/economic development for Ontario & PEIhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔽" title="Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck" aria-label="Emoji: Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck">
as their provinces lost revenue when filming stopped & would stand to gain the most if a renewal occurred, as COVID restrictions lift in the coming months. Other allies are also cc& #39;d. It is a carefully crafted email, written by 6 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇨🇦" title="Flagge von Kanada" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Kanada"> who have been active here for 9 months, thathttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔽" title="Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck" aria-label="Emoji: Nach unten zeigendes Dreieck">
touches on a several relevant factors. Once Parliament resumes, if the situation changes, our strategy may evolve, just as it may with developments from any & all fronts, including Netflix. Until then, sending our email is likely to be the most helpful thing you can all do!
