Save the CBC From Harper! Please Sign!


Dear Larry,

Prime Minister Harper is using his latest budget bill to seize unprecedented 

power over the CBC. Independent public media is a cornerstone of a healthy democracy, 
and we canot stand by and let the CBC be silenced and controlled for partisan political gain.

We've teamed up with the Friends of Canadian Broadcasting to fight back -- 

Please join us and sign the urgent petition to Free the CBC from political interference
then forward this to everyone.

With hope and respect,

Matthew on behalf of the Leadnow.ca

Dear Friend,
Free CBC from Political InterferenceJian Ghomeshi, Carol Off, Peter 
Mansbridge and every other journalist and creative person at the CBC 
will be beholden to Stephen Harper if he succeeds in the biggest 
and most sinister media takeover Canada has ever seen.

Please help us to stop Harper by signing the Free CBC 

petition right now.









Harper has no mandate to turn Canada’s national public broadcaster into a state broadcaster, yet this is exactly what he wants to do. 
Instead of delivering on his election promise to maintain or increase CBC funding, he is seeking tocontrol and silence our CBC.
The Omnibus Budget Bill would make Harper theultimate boss of 
every CBC employee by giving the government complete control over the wages and working conditions of 
all CBC staff. 
CBC must operate at arms length from government. Even the perception that CBC journalists 
are pulling punches or program decisions are made in favour of political masters would be 
disastrous for the CBC and Canadian democracy.
Let’s not allow this to happen. Canadians value and need a strong and independent 
public broadcaster. FRIENDS is working in collaboration with Leadnow.ca to ramp up this 
campaign quickly.

Please sign the FREE CBC petition right away and then share it with your friends, 

colleagues and neighbours.

Yours sincerely,
Ian Morrison

P.S. This is the most significant and sinister attack on the CBC since its creation in 1932 by another
