This Throwback Thursday looks back on a time when journalism first saw the chilling signs of a “slow dissolve” as told by writer Mark Starowicz. He explained the need for exclusively Canadian-owned radio and television broadcasting and suggests where it needs to grow to achieve this. He believed our culture was disappearing into that of the U.S.. It’s a familiar feeling as we learn CBC lost its rights to Hockey Night in Canada to Rogers and will “no longer compete for professional sports rights.” Still, Starowicz speaks fondly about Canada’s will and strength when our cultures are tested. Hopefully, we will see these beliefs represented again.
