| on the future of counterSpin |
|
As you may have seen in the press, CBC Newsworld has announced that
counterSpin will not be renewed for next season. Newsworld is
developing a new flagship interview show to run daily in the 8pm time
slot.
CBC had announced that counterSpin would complete this season playing an important role in
Newsworld's coverage of an expected spring election. But that is not to be the case.
We at counterSpin are saddened by the decision not to renew the
show.

Federal Health Minister Pierre Pettigrew caused a ruckus by saying private health care delivery is not incompatible with the Canada Health Act. While Pettigrew later tried to backpedal, claiming he had been misunderstood, his comments have left many wondering just what the government's policy really is. Are public-private partnerships, two-tier health care and other such initiatives threatening the public health system? With an election call expected any time, a special town-hall edition of counterSpin debates the future of Canada’s Health Care System.

Expectations are high as both leaders prepare for national elections this year. But there is a long list of controversial foreign policy issues on the minds of many Canadians. Some of these include the ongoing crisis in Haiti, the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict, the situations in both Iraq and Afghanistan and the fast approaching ballistic missile defense shield. On the eve of the Bush-Martin summit, counterSpin debates what Paul Martin’s message to George Bush should be.
