Canada justifies government ownership by the need for serving up Canadian culture to an audience uneconomically scattered across a vast land. But the government recognizes the merits of competition, and a new Board of Broadcast Governors (TIME, Nov. 16) will soon begin licensing private-enterprise second stations in all major cities.
