   Think of the savings.  In the end, everyone wins but for the lazy,   
   monopolistic types and statists.

   Think, media did fine before there was a CRTC.  They do sell a good   
   government line in selling what we don't need and shouldn't want.   
      
   When government crashes, I will have a big party.  CRTC will certianly   
   be cut in time.  Too much corruption and waste.
