And if it is as bad as you say, you have our sympathy. Canada but be almost catatonic.

US TV is illegal in Canada, both to supply and to receive. The only exception is if a licensed Canadian supplier supplies it. And even then there are "Canadian Content" rules that essentially mean that any US show that's presented must be offset somewhere by a Canadian one. There is, therefore, a huge amount of very good US TV that is simply unavailable here. > you have our sympathy. Canada but be almost catatonic. > Our federal government is currently considering legislation that will allow all cops to pull drivers over anytime, anywhere, for any reason or no reason at all. This is supposed to help the cops catch drunks, but you can bet the cops will be allowed to use the stops to fish for other stuff they can charge you with, just like they do right now with DUI spot-checks. Canadian cops running DUI spot-checks are already allowed to use those spot-checks as fishing expeditions for anything else they can think of to nail you with, everything from outdated paperwork to blown light bulbs to outstanding parking tickets. Our Supreme Court has upheld this abuse of DUI spot-checks. Lovely country. Just lovely. -- Tegger
From: Mike Hunter on 31 Mar 2010 20:40 If our nation debt keeps going up as it has, and will continue to go up under BO, our national defense will be weakened and we will no longer be in a position to defended Canada any longer. They will need to start spending billions of their own wealth, and blood, to finally start defending themselves for a change.

Yeah? <http://www.media-awareness.ca/english/issues/cultural_policies/canadian_content_rules.cfm> We don't get the REAL HBO, the REAL Food Network, the REAL Bravo, ESPN, the History Channel, etc. All because of stupid Trudeau CanCon. We lost our DirecTV because of the stupid government. Canada sucks. Trudeau sucked, and he made Canada suck. > The only restriction > is the commercials.

Happy reading! <http://network.nationalpost.com/NP/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2010/03/15/national-post-editorial-board-random-breathalyzers-cross-the-line.aspx> The cops have been allowed to use DUI spot-checks as fishing-expeditions since the '80s. Ask any cop. Canada sucks. Big time. Canada is one fucked-up country. -- Tegger |
