We will take action to enshrine, protect, and strengthen CBC/Radio-Canada for generations to come.

My father was a Queen Scout growing up, and a Cub Scout leader when I was a child. The "5BX" was a staple that he taught his Cub packs. Fun, effective, and perhaps most importantly, accessible without any fancy or expensive equipment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbB3...
