Television is a reflection of what the viewers want to see. If your argument is that the CBC cannot retain its current nature as a private network, then you are also arguing that it is not offering what Canadians as a whole wish to see.

It couldn't provide the same quality and type off programming it does now because it would be more controlled by the advertisers which follow the bottom line which as often as not are foriegn and won't give the programming that CANADIANS want to see.
As far as the army goes, we could hire some American firm who could hire third world battle hardened mercenaries at half the price. But you would probably think that is a good idea and see no problem too. Lets put all our services out to the lowest bidder.
You may not have been the first to mention it but you did say "Frankly, it is not a free country in this case". I was responding to this statement and lets keep the snide remarks out of this discusssion.
