Led in this province by the Vancouver Sun, a nation-wide big business campaign is under way to cripple the Canadian Broadcasting ‘Corporation’s in- fant television system. Aim of the campaign is no less than handing over the multi-million dollar television field to mono- poly interests. In effect. it means placing Canadian televi- sion ‘under the domination of

Couched in terms of Cana- dianism, as in the Vancouver Sun’s special articles, the cam- paign is actually designed to de- stroy independent Canadian television by opening the TV field in this country to Ameri- can domination of privately-own- ed. outlets which would be large- ly dependent on U.S. shows.
