• Dear CBC
  
  Last night I watched with interest your documentary on the 10th anniversary of the flooding of the Red River in Manitoba. The documentary disclosed the losses to homes, farms and businesses at approximately 500 million dollars. Additionally, the emotional costs are beyond measure. Now this brings me to the main point of my letter. I think it is imperative that the CBC do an in depth documentary on the Income Trust Debacle. In this case we are talking about losses of 35 BILLION suffered by all sorts of Canadians. This especially hit hard Canada's retired and senior population. Again, the emotional stress caused cannot be calculated. I am surprised that the CBC has not tackled this issue in the six months since the Halloween announcement. What Canadians need is the truth and it needs to be come quickly. I believe the investigative skills of your reputable organization are needed because 1 million or more Canadians have suffered so greatly. We need to know if Mr. Flaherty, Mr. Harper and the whole PC party are indeed a liars. Is there or is there not tax leakage? Who has bought off Flaherty and the government. Any information I have been able to read shows tax leakage not to be the case. The PC policies will indeed create tax leakage and the transfer of my wealth to foreigners. I can't believe that the CBC has sat on the sidelines for so long unless the federal government has come down hard on the CBC preventing you from reporting the truth. I am having a hard time standing by watching the sell out of Canadian trusts to foreign and private equity. I as a retired person have lost many thousands of dollars and a lot of my ability to earn an income. If there is still an income trust around when the tax takes effect in 3 1/2 years, my income will be cut another 31.5% taking the total tax take of dividends from within my RRSP to 55%. They call this the Tax Fairness Plan. This is my second letter and I sure would appreciate an response.
