I want you to know that up until my, forced retirement, health issues, I would have been a paid subscriber. Unfortunately now I’m not able to afford the subscription.
I do however, look very forward to reading these excellent, informative and well written articles. I’m deeply sorry for not being in a position to pay for a subscription.
I think that, by implying they’re the same, you’re being a bit tough on Carney. For one thing, he wants to increase CBC funding, not de-fund it completely! I also think he has a more open, inclusive view of government. It could have been a LOT worse!
