		Spry believed there was tremendous incentive for the U.S. broadcasters to support a private system: once it was in place, NBC and CBS would affiliate with private broadcasters in all the other major Canadian markets besides Toronto and Montreal.
		Spry was quick to concede that the Americans used "quiet methods," and that much of their work was to dispatch eloquent speakers to Toronto and Montreal "to praise the American system and damn the British." (I can vouch for this.
		Spry became a sharp critic of the manner in which the CBC developed, characterizing it as a largely undemocratic bureaucracy by 1935.

	Towards a Poetics of Popular Theatre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Catherine Graham prefers the term “Activist Theatre.” Graham was recently awarded three-year SSHRC funding for a comparative analysis of “activist theatre” in five liberal democracies – Canada, the US, the UK, France, and Belgium.
		Graham takes the premise that while “democratic decision-making is theoretically possible” in liberal democracies, “opportunities for participation in public life are declining,” and that “most forms of activist theatre are better understood as attempts to overcome the problems of liberal discursive regimes than as authentic representations of particular communities” (10, 15).
		For Graham, as for Kershaw and for many others, the separation of artistic form and social utility is a false dichotomy: “[I]t is precisely theatre’s formal qualities that allow for reflection about the social life out of which the theatre comes” (10).

		Of all the issues that had preoccupied Frank during his long and eventful life, whether legal, constitutional, political, or poetic, it was surprising that his subconscious had tossed up this particular one from the depths of his psyche at the end of his days.
		Of course, he had been an early and active supporter of the CBC since its founding in 1936, but he hadn’t been as instrumental in its formation as his good friends Alan Plaunt and Graham Spry.
		For, if you listened attentively, it became obvious that CBC and CTV were subconscious symbols, like archetypes in a dream, for all sorts of opposites: right versus wrong, public versus private, art versus commerce, service versus greed, good versus evil.
