What a shame the CBC will not make available their national
news story featuring a faceoff between North American
bureaucrats and spokesmen for Global Emergency Response.
CBC said releasing its coverage would be too close to
advertising and promotion.
CBC must have a hard time distinguishing between
public interest advocacy and the making of money.
When last Canada introduced a very large firefighting
aircraft (now retired), the proponent received the Order
of Canada for his efforts.
This time, because the aircraft is Russian, the proponents
get limited media coverage and the bum's rush from governments.
In the result, current makers of money with old technology
thrive, protected, while new, powerful technology helping solve
problems gets extremely limited coverage.
