According to Inside the CBC a new poll from Harris/Decima shows that most Canadians support the CBC's decision on the Hockey Night in Canada theme song:
" (27% of people think the Corp should have shelled out.)
Among hockey fans, the support fell to 52%, but still enough to counter the 40% of these people who opposed the CBC’s decision.
Perhaps demonstrating the quintessential Canadian “middle of the fence” opinion (pronounced “meh…”), 59% of Canadians said they weren’t really moved by the CBC’s loss of the song.
Less than 15% surveyed believed the CBC would lose Hockey Night in Canada viewers because it lost the theme song."
In case you ever doubt that the public owns the telecom companies and can bring them to heel, the Toronto Sun reportsthat in Toronto alone citizens forked out 134 million dollars in the last 6 years for repairs to Bell and Rogers infrastructure.
"Toronto taxpayers have shovelled $134 million into the profits of telecommunications companies, Councillor Howard Moscoe charges.
That's what it has cost city ratepayers over the past six years to maintain and repair local roads dug up by the companies to lay down a web of communication networks, he said."
