Though complaints have been made to the CRTC the CBC ombudsman sees no conflict there, I guess you have to be deaf, dumb and blind to get that postion. kootcoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11344208424209840730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-60683634534517387532014-01-25T06:50:16.676-08:002014-01-25T06:50:16.676-08:00I wonder how many Canadians are like me.
