BANFF, Alberta, June 15, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Liberal Heritage Minister Helene Chalifour Scherrer, while campaigning in Banff, warned that under a Conservative government, spending for such Canadian treasures as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the Canadian Television Fund, the Feature Film Fund, Telefilm Canada, and the National Film Board may be up in the air.
In a last-ditch effort by a failing Liberal election campaign, Scherrer joined with her confraternity in trying to paint Harper as a radical social-conservative. "Look in the mirror - it will be my department and the programs and policies we have to help you earn your livelihood [that will be eliminated]," she said to a group of film and television industry leaders at a convention in Banff. "We believe the risks to this country are real and serious," Scherrer warned.
The CBC, known for outrageous bias and censorship of traditional social views is heavily taxpayer funded. The network has consistently favoured abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, radical environmentalism, population control and just about every liberal social and economic cause. Pro-life and pro-family advocates have for years complained bitterly about the public broadcaster's manipulation of news and its severe lack of balance on life and family issues.
