Faced with a large budget shortfall, the CBC is doing what any corporation would do: Make cuts across the board. However this must be done with some thought and certainly not slapdash. It looks as though the Ceeb is getting a little carried away as evidenced in cuts to current affairs series such as The Fifth Estate and Marketplace. (There are more but I feel that those two programs show the very corruption of reason in the 'company'.) First of all such fare is relatively cheap to produce compared to the drama shows, like Little Mosque on the Prairie and Being Erica, which are, granted, being forced to trim the number of episodes produced, but the CBC, again, demonstrates how they do so little correctly.And what, just what, is The Hour still doing on the air?!
Exactly!
