Most of the world gets FOX News now. It's available all over Europe on satellite systems; you can get it in Asia. I think it's idiotic that a government agency would block the broadcasting of a network that is the most watched cable news network of their main trading partner and closest neighbor - in an open Western nation, no less.

Maybe you don't understand the U.S./Canada dynamic when it comes to television. The trouble is that, being kissing cousins such as we are, it's fantastically easy and economical for the U.S. just to export your culture up north, completely undercutting its Canadian counterparts. Thing is, we're not talking widgets here.

As much as you'd like to believe and as you must be aware, Canadians are not just Americans who live in the north. We share some values and not others. How do you think Americans would feel if your culture was threatened with being steamrollered by another country's cultural exports?
