It's a trade agreement with 28 countries as signatories agreeing to the document which spells out in detail what can be imported and exported to and from where and with what tariffs if applicable. Again... you have this concept that Canada is the centre of the universe..."This is a Canadian Deal" as much as you like to think so we are not. This is a trade agreement that was initiated by Canada but is a 28 country deal of which Canada is one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1trailmaker Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 WHY, IN THE ABSENCE OF THE PRIME MINISTER, DOES THE CEREMONIAL ROLE FALL TO HIS WIFE, AN UNELECTED PERSON, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO OFFICIAL ROLE. WHY NOT THE DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER? Well, because Trudeau hasn’t given any of his cabinet ministers the title of deputy prime minister. Surprised he didn't get one of his Muslim Brotherhood members to represent him… Omar Alghabra, Iraq Khalid, Maryam Monsef or Ahmed Hussen. Did anyone watch the Memorial event on CBC from Ottawa?

He could continue flitting around the globe showing off his socks or he could have been at home in Ottawa for one of the most significant and very emotional ceremonies / traditions that Canadians share.

The likes of Global and CTV don't get handed hundreds of $M's each year like CBC does. Yet they still operate and profitably at that. CBC / Radio just asked for AN EXTRA $400M in federal funding http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/cbc-radio-canada-ad-free-proposal-1.3871077 The additional money CBC is asking for would largely be "replacement funding" if the media organization eliminates advertising. The proposal requests $318 million to replace advertising revenue: $253 million in lost ad sales plus $105 million to "produce and procure additional Canadian content" to fill the programming gaps in their absence. CBC is also asking for $100 million in "additional funding of new investments to face consumer and technology disruption." However, the proposal notes that removing ads will also result in savings of $40 million in the cost of selling advertising. Total government funding for CBC would equal an investment of $46 per Canadian every year — up from the current $34 per Canadian it currently receives, the document says. I wonder if the average family of 4 would choose to give $184.00 to the CBC if they had the choice. Given the choice of paying $92 for my wife and I having the privilege of watching CBC versus the other networks free offerings... I would opt out of the CBC in a heartbeat. The 2016 federal budget already allocated increased funding for CBC but as shown above they don't think that's enough. https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/liberals-pledge-675-million-in-cbc-funding/article29354285/?ref=http://www.theglobeandmail.com A $675-million pledge by the Liberal government – which includes $75-million in new funds for the rest of this fiscal year followed by an extra $150-million annually through 2021 – is the anticipated centrepiece of an array of new cultural spending totalling nearly $1.9-billion over the next five years.

What i find interesting is while you support TV stations that have 70% American content while cbc has 0% Canada spends 3.5 billion a year on culture, arts, ect this includes CBC Read up on section 19.1 of the tax act - call for its removal CBC takes in 1.5 billion from all sources (approx 600 million taxpayers) of that. 600 million for English Tv 420 million is for French tv 330 million for Radio One Two Three ( cbc one reaches 99% of all Canadians) no advertising dollars are made. Where do you think the the 900 million in advertising dollars come from? Do the haters really mean cut funding for CBC radio? CBC by law must produce Canadian content all day while Private TV spends little providing American content - CBC was brought in to stop the American media from taking over Canadian airwaves - so glad for this Private conventional TV saw an operating loss of $30.26 million, with a negative profitability margin of 1.8%. That number was less drastic than 2014 and 2015, which were negative 2.3% and 3.4%, respectively. Meanwhile, the CBC saw a total revenue increase of 7.04%, totalling $1.18 billion in 2016. Although local time sales and syndication revenues were down (11.84% and 26.23%, respectively), growth in national time sales and other revenue drove the overall increase. National sales revenue rose to $222.5 million (a 30.44% increase), while other revenue (which included parliamentary appropriation) came to $853.18 million (up by 6.94%).

1trailmaker Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Way to go Canada - back on the world stage JT landed in the Philippines on Sunday with the goal of raising Canada’s profile in the Asia-Pacific region, especially on security issues and trade. This week, Trudeau will become the first sitting Canadian prime minister to participate in the annual East Asia Summit and is the only one who’s ever been invited, his office said. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said Sunday, after she and Trudeau arrived in Manila, that the East Asia Summit will give him a chair at the top security table in the region. He will sit alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump during discussions on the security situation involving North Korea, she said. “That is a really big deal,” Freeland said of the forum, which is held in conjunction with the annual summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. “Canada has never been there before.” The ASEAN summit itself will give Trudeau an opportunity to advance his trade agenda with the emerging bloc of 10 Southeast Asian countries, which is already Canada’s sixth-largest trading partner.

So in a nut shell... there isn't enough demand in Canada by Canadians for Canadian content that it would be able to sustain itself without government handouts. Translation... not good enough to appeal to enough people that want to hear and see it. Kind of sad that radio is FORCED to play Canadian content rather than choose to play Canadian music based on it's own merits of what people want to hear. English-language and French-language stations must ensure that at least 35% of the Popular Music they broadcast each week is Canadian content. Commercial radio stations also have to ensure that at least 35% of the Popular Music broadcast between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday is Canadian content. CBC / Radio Canada CBC / Radio Canada stations must ensure that at least 50% of their Popular Music selections broadcast each week are Canadian content.
