Radio Canada International to cease SW broadcasts later this year.

[Captain Kilowatt]

The federal budget released this week has dealt a big blow to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation known as CBC which operates RCI the international shortwave station in Sackville New Brunswick which has been in operation for 70 years. RCI will cease Canadian originated programming in July and when international broadcasting agreements run out on October 31 of this year all broadcasting will shut down and the huge site is to be decommissioned and dismantled. Other cuts are being made to the television portion of the CBC as well.

Yes, the federal budget this go around has some teeth regarding cutting spending. I am planning to retire on 2 years, unless I'm laid off before then.

Try some internet forums especially those radio related. A lot of them are full of senseless and factless bullshit posts. op:

Try NPR, bullshit is bullshit.

Now leave our neighbors alone, they gave us the greatest American of all time, Capt. James T. Kirk from Iowa!

I love Canadians, except those pesky frogs in Quebec. :tongue:

JUST KIDDING, JUST KIDDING!
Last thing we need is for the RCAF to fire up their F4's and carpet bomb some trailer park in Michigan. Just think of the higher tax rates from all the home improvements!

F4's?? I guess you missed the CF-18 Hornets then, which are to be replaced with the CF-35 Lightnings. If the budget does not cancel them that is. Perhaps the next time the White House asks us to get involved in an airstrike we should just ask them where the nearest trailer park is instead. Hopefully it is in Quebec. I can't stand the frogs either.:laugh:

I was handling a phone call from work at the time I posted above and missed the smilies which changes the mood of my post. I meant nothing by it as well as I figured you were JK as was I. Fixed the above to better reflect the mood. It all good.
