broken (or, CBC Hard of Hearing app)

CBC, like so many other Canadian institutions, is broken.

When trying to use the CBC Listen app,  the Profiles area (where saved programs are kept) just spins forever.

When trying to send them a complaint on this, their services are broken.

When trying to use their Contact Us area, it fails again.

Finally, when going to their website using a computer, it fails again.

The strength and viability of Canadian ventures seem to be a joke.  Hudson’s Bay, Future Shop, Eaton’s, Consumer’s Distributing, Avro (the aviation company that build the Arrow), Blackberry (oh my god! they invented seamless integration of email, web, & phone!), Sears, Nortel, Bombardier – all fall apart at the seams.

Do we live in the goddam Soviet Union or something?

I just think that people / companies / institutions should be able to get off their fat asses and do something that isn’t broken for a change.

(No, I’m not an Alberta separatist.)
