CTV Forcing Me To Watch CBC

It's pathetic but CBC is actually less biased than CTV. No TV media supports the Conservatives, but amazingly CBC is not the worse. One example:

CTV

Dawn Black, the NDP's defence critic, scoffed at the notion of debate and a vote.
"It's a done deal," she said. "Our minister of national defence has signed this agreement with the American Ambassador David Wilkins. It's a done deal, so it makes a hypocrisy out of any form of democratic discussion or debate."
Added Liberal MP John McCallum: "They seem to be doing this in secrecy, which is becoming a pattern."


CBC

CBC News Online reported in February that Canada planned to extend the Norad treaty to include maritime surveillance. Defence Minister Gordon O'Connor said at the time that the proposed treaty would not mean a loss of sovereignty over Canadian waters.
O'Connor also dismissed fears that it might lead to U.S. warships patrolling Canadian waters.
"It doesn't change our responsibility as a country," O'Connor said at the time. "We have to look after our own sovereignty. We have to deal with any threats coming from the sea."


Global

Questions about the agreement were raised after American officials announced that Defence Minister Gordon O'Connor and David Wilkins - the U.S. ambassador to Canada - signed the renewal papers Friday in Ottawa.
The U.S. officials said the deal commits Canada to indefinitely take part in NORAD, the North American Air Defence Command, the joint-Canada-U.S. defence agency that guards North American skies.


The prize goes to CTV and the Liberals for the SECRECY label. Be careful, because CTV is often worse than CBC.
