Felicity and the rest of the nay-sayers re the new network want (of course) the government (CRTC) to deny the must carry/must offer status of the new network, while seeing nothing wrong whatsoever in the tax-funded CBC (we are ALL forced to pay with our taxes for its social engineering drivel AND its cable status) or in offering the network of our battlefield combatants and terrorist apologists in Al Jazeerah. No surprise. They also have 57 reasons why it won't succeed.

And that's the beauty of the free market. If they are correct, the network will die a slow death due to lack of advertising revenues. I'm betting a lot that it will succeed spectacularly, and in the process, cause the same angst and outrage on the left that those of us on the right are forced to endure every time we have to listen to, or watch, the CBC and other MSM spin world events to mould the future in their own image. My children, who are very motivated and high achievers, will have a very, very dim future in a world shaped in the image of CBC apologists. I want them to have a future based on choice, personal freedoms, personal reward for hard work and innovation, and freedom from the machinations of social engineers who will do everything possible to punish those very qualities.

So bring it on, and we will all see who is correct. As Maggy Thatcher said, "The facts of life are conservative". I have seen nothing in my increasingly long life to refute that statement. It will be so refreshing to have a net work available (if you don't like it, don't watch) that reflects that reality. It's a shame we have to wait until January 1st to start watching.

The Liberals currently don't stand for anything at all. The Liberals have tons of baggage still on board that needs to be dumped. The Liberals are still, steadfastly, the party of arrogant entitlement. The Liberals selected a leader who is clearly out of touch with Canada, and who doesn't know what he is supposed to say, do, or represent. The message changes from week to week. The Liberals still have not paid back the sponsorship money they stole from us under the lost years of Jean Chretien. Stephen Harper is doing a very good job under very trying circumstances. Stephen Harper is obviously not the scary bogey man the Liberals and their supporters in the media tried to portray. Canada is doing OK vis a vis the rest of the world under the Tories' leadership. So why on earth would we want a change?
