Mr. Morrison

Kelowna already has a CBC One station that provides 3 1/2 hours of local broadcasting per week day. CBC had recommended that a new station be established in Kamloops, as part of a plan to provide coverage to areas of Canada not well serviced. That plan was vetoed by Mr. Harper. The plan you are asking us to support is apparently a Harperized illusion of the original CBC plan.

The Kamloops area is geographically and demographically distinct from Kelowna. It is also the area that CBC TV has decided not to bother with over the air broadcasting. Remember!!!

I have no idea what kind of silly ass game Harper and the CBC is playing with an announcement of something that is already there, rather than providing a much needed new CBC One station for the Kamloops/Nicola/South Cariboo area.

God I wish you would do your homework before starting a campaign that is using "Friends" as an ignorant sucker for CBC/Harper games.
