The Hollowing Out of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

     The CBC is an important national democratic institution. People fight and die for international and national democratic institutions---Radio Free Europe, a free press, the Internet, Wikipedia, YouTube...
A law created in 1991, "The Broadcasting Act" legalizes the sale, give away, transfer and destruction of billions of dollars worth of CBC property:
real estate
transmission towers
memorabilia
furniture
hundreds of thousands of vinyl records

American media tycoon Barry Diller (Paramount; Fox News) was interested in buying the CBC's 600 transmission towers and thousands of communications transmitters. The CBC is a federal Crown corporation, which means that the people of Canada own(ed) all the CBC property. We will never know who bought the infrastructure, because of Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure agreements.

A member of Parliament tried to denationalize the CBC in 2017, but Bill C-308 was defeated.
In the year 2005, Canada's National Broadcaster planned to sell all the radio and television archives to the British Broadcasting Corporation. Why would the British be interested in:
Front Page Challenge
The Forest Rangers
Quentin Durgens M.P.
The Juliette Show
Anne Murray specials
Hockey Night in Canada
The Tommy Hunter Show
This Hour has Seven Days
Billy Bishop Goes to War
Don Messers Jubilee
The Arrow - the list goes on...it should be a crime to sell, give away or trash Canada's cultural history.
Glenn Gould spent a lot of time at the Jarvis Street Complex in Toronto, and recorded many of his albums at the CBC in-house studio. I appeared on the television program "Take 30" in 1979, and I  remember the beautiful building and the massive parking lot. High rise condos were built on the parking lot.
Land Transfers
Order-in Council - Grant approval for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (a) to sell some 4,898 square metres of land at 263 and 303 Mutual Street in Toronto, Ontario to Context Real Estate Inc. and
(b) to convey another 4,970 square metres of land at 354 and 372 Jarvis Street in Toronto to the National Ballet School, for a nominal sum. (Approved June 26, 2000). 

 The foundations (literally) of Canada's public broadcaster are being sold off. If I were the head of the CBC I would guard the Crown assets with my life, if necessary.
