It looks like the Harper Dictatorship is about to take control of the Canadian media through Bill 60 and turn CBC into "SCUM NEWS" like Sun News.
If this man is not a dictator I don't know who is.
Friends of Canadian Broadcasting — an independent watchdog for Canadian programming, radio, TV and new media — believes the bill takes direct aim at the independence of the Corporation.
"CBC is not just another crown corporation. The financial decision-making the government plans to take over will affect CBC's editorial independence," Ian Morrison, spokesperson for the group said in a statement.\
"If this Bill becomes law, the government will have one more lever to control what the CBC does, the programs it presents and the editorial content of the news. Our national public broadcaster will take one step closer to becoming a state broadcaster."

Kory Teneycke the former right hand man to Stephen Harper is vice president of development of Quebecor Media....
The former Harper spin doctor who helped advance the Conservative brand is back at the helm of the right-leaning Sun TV News startup as it gets ready to sell its contrarian voice in the Canadian broadcasting market.

Quebecor has filed complaints with CRTC, which Harper controls, and with the Conservatives through Kory Teneycke. All this political posturing certainly gives the impression of collusion and media manipulation in Ottawa.
