Looks like I am into signing petitions this week. I don’t like it, but I take it as a sign of the times that we live in.

It is inconceivable that the leadership of the CBC is considering this. Then again, looking at what they’ve done to CBC Radio 2 and the Radio Orchestra, perhaps nothing should surprise me anymore…”
