As you are airing “Bowling For Columbine” at this moment, I think it appropriate that I am NOT, and emailing you with respect to my “flexibility”.

I had been looking forward to your Docs, particularly “Bowling”, since I first saw your adverts. I am letting you know that I am supporting Michael Moore’s ‘moral’ position of withdrawing his creation as a protest of your “lockout” and I, choosing instead, to compose and send my position.

CBC is less and less being “Canada’s Own” (my own) and more becoming ‘America’s Own’. Not only do I find myself watching less and less, your URL in my history bar is sinking lower and lower.

Sadly and sincerely,
