CRTC TV taxes

More Taxes...!

Help stop your TV fees from increasing. CTV, Global and the CBC have recently asked the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to significantly increase TV taxes. The CRTC has been asked to do this by having Bell and the other operators pay more, which would result in higher fees for you. We don’t think that’s right, you shouldn’t either. So please speak and have your say. This is what’s happening. The CRTC has told satellite and cable companies to hand over $100 million a year as of September 1, 2009. These fees are being passed on to you. This money is passing through something called the Local Programming Improvement Fund (LPIF) – straight to media giants like CTVglobemedia and Canwest Global, straight to the CBC. No new local programming, no improvement to anything other than the bottom line of broadcasters. You are now likely paying for this on your TV bill. You should also know that hot on the heels of that campaign, CTV, Global and the CBC are now lobbying for even more. Each year, satellite and cable companies pay hundreds of millions of dollars to broadcasters. We contribute to the CRTC’s operating budget. Although to date these fees have not been broken out on monthly bills, you need to know they exist – especially because the TV networks still want more. If the CRTC gives in to the broadcasters’ latest demand and lets local TV stations charge for their currently free over-the-air local signals, it would more than double the portion of your Bell TV bill going to government fees – and into the bank accounts of the broadcasters, like CTV, Global and the CBC. In fact, if the CRTC lets broadcasters have their way, then government-imposed fees will be just shy of one billion dollars. It’s time to say enough. Help make it stop. Let the CRTC know what you think about new TV taxes -- have your say.

Good Vision In A Downpoor

GOOD VISION IN A DOWNPOUR

How to achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour. I can vouch for this!! We are not sure why it is so effective just try this method when it rains heavily. This method was told by a Police friend who had experienced and confirmed it. It is useful...even driving at night. Most of the motorists would turn on HIGH or FASTEST SPEED of the wipers during heavy downpour, yet the visibility in front of the windshield is still bad....... In the event you face such a situation, just try your SUN GLASSES (any model will do), and miracle! All of a sudden, your visibility in front of your windshield is perfectly clear, as if there is no rain. Make sure you always have a pair of SUN GLASSES in your car, as you are not only helping yourself to drive safely with good vision, but also might save your friend's life by giving him this idea.. Try it yourself and share it with your friends! Amazing, you still see the drops on the windshield, but not the sheet of rain falling. You can see where the rain bounces off the road. It works to eliminate the "blindness" from passing cars/trucks
spraying you too. Or the "kickup" if you are following a truck or car in the rain. They ought to teach that little tip in driver's training. It really does work .
