That�s good! Parents can take responsibility and keep their children
from viewing the program or not watch the offending program this message
is intended for if they wish to exercise their right. Then they can�t
whine later about offensive programming.

I really can�t comment on this because I have not attended or been able
to follow the hearings due to the fact that I live in an isolated area
and do not have daily access to National Newspapers. I don�t watch the
boob anymore than 2 or 3 hours a week. I do believe that the CRTC is
going too far in supporting Canadian programming. CBC sucks for the most
part; deals with boring and inane issues and serves the minority special
interest groups, but to be fair they do occasionally produce a couple of
good shows. However for the tax money spent we are not getting value for
dollar. CBC should have one national news service period...that�s it and
drop all local broadcasting leaving for local TV and radio. As for the
new package--no channels should receive any subsidy.

This is ok. I agree it goes a bit far but I would rather this than have
censorship of the airwaves because some left leaning pinko bleeding
heart can�t take the responsibility to turn the channel or not watch.
It�s a shame these people can�t take responsibility for their actions.
They like to be titillated first and then they demand censorship. Maybe
this will prevent that.
