One thing I've noticed over the years in watching the CBC--and I have been watching it for many years--is that increasingly in recent years the CBC has tended to shy away from controversial topics. It simply hasn't covered them. The example I gave was that of the security and prosperity partnership of North America. It's received barely a mention by the CBC, and this is of huge consequence to the future of Canada. It's about merging us with Mexico and the United States in a North American entity. For something of this magnitude to take place without our national broadcaster's bringing it up for discussion and analysis is, to me, inexcusable.
