Are CTV and Global more conservative than the CBC ?
Not really, but they are more balanced and their news judgment is more in line with the views of ordinary Canadians. The main reason the CBC has fallen out of favour is that their producers suffer from a severe case of recto-cranial insertion; if the story doesn't involve a black lesbian single mother who's trying to save the whale from globalization they'll ignore it. They seem to think that the world doesn't exist outside of Ottawa, so nobody outside of Ottawa pays much attention to them.
Yes, but not by as much as Fox.
Cable providers also provide local channels.
They also provice CPAC which is the Canadian equivalent of CSPAN. That service broadcasts public events in full and without editing. Currently, CPAC is broadcasting the unedited taped Royal Commission hearing into the adscam scandal, which is a huge embarrassment to the Liberal government.
Rogers in my area also provides the feed from the Federal House of Commons and the Ontario so that I have lately been able to enjoy watching the opposition work over the Minister of Immigration in Question Period for the past several days about her jumping a stripper to the head of the queu and letting one of her sherpas attend at the strip club to help fill in the documents.
Apparently there is a grievous shortage of strippers in Canada such that we have to import them. More so, it would seem than a shortage of doctors.
