Dear Editor: Bravo to V. Parnell regarding the cable ripoff of charging for channels we don't want (Nov.24). We receive 57 Shaw channels including "bundles" to enable us to get the few we do want.

...I'm thinking twice about them. I've been hard on the BC Liberals on this blog. No harder, probably less, than I've been to the BC Dippers or the Green Party, but still: hard. And to this day I stand by my criticisms of the BC Liberal Party: it needs new leadership, fresh blood, a fresh campaign, and a massive down-sizing in the arrogance department.
