[HCDX] RCI BC Relay Station - tail wagging dog?

["mhev" <mhev@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, it will not be a hoax if such a proposal is approved in Cabinet.
The (ruling) Liberal Party is in need of votes from the western provinces,
in an extreme way.
There are almost no Liberal seats in the western provinces. [West of
Ontario]

The CBC and RCI cannot 'crush' the proposal too much -- that would be like a
dog eating its master's hand!
In a matter of speaking, they would be better off hiring the person with the
proposal -- discreetly.

Also:
RNZI's budget increase [to allow it to run 168 hours / week] is in line with
NZ not being in the favor of the US ruling class.
For such a small nation, SW broadcasting is (for all practical purposes)
part of the National Defense Budget Allocation.
It is a shame RCI did not construct a relay station similar to the one
proposed in 1990, so that Canada could make its power felt over this vast
region.
