The NFB certainly has problems of its own that need fixing, but I think the fear would be in the current climate that to "fix" them at Tory gov would just cut them altogether, and give the funding to sports. A more equitable process is needed! Leah Sandals Hi Jones,

I speak as someone who has looked into the process towards getting NFB funding - and who came to consider the organization conservative (in the PC sense) and out of touch.
