The CBC is freaking out with the arrival of Fox. So much so that they're frantically working on a documentary about the Fox News Canadian invasion, in which they will tell Canadians what to think.

All they need to do is search the archives of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, PBS and MSNBC to find this, but then again what would possibly make the Canadian left think they could succeed where their un-American comrades failed.

Al-Jazeera, was approved for viewing in Canada...

Huh?? Has the Canadian government collectively gone mad??

Conservative Canadians had better either stand and fight their country's becoming a slaughterhouse of liberal fascism, OR simply emigrate into Jesusland, USA...SOON.

P.S. -- Bring your guns and wood ;-)

Not too long ago CBC did a show about the greatest Canadian ever. Talk about an insecure country.

Good luck to FOX over there, although I doubt they'll need it.

The CBC has all but lost all it's viewing public with the loss of hiockey. These clowns are preaching to the converted. The artsy socialist gay loving secular elitist arses are what is left of an audience. There is still some censorship up here in that content providers like Bell Expressvu who resist carrying FNC since it will directly compete with their Newsnet channel. Starchoice and Rogers are the only ones I know who carry it, The CBC (Commy Broadcasting Corp) is an appendage of the ruling minoity party, the Liberals. As long as the CBC is a taxpayer funded enterprise, there will always be the concern that they will never truly be the fourth estate they were supposed to be given the conflict of interest involved. All in all the CBC is one waste of cash!!

If you want us to bring our guns, we will have to leave for Jesusland soon because they are trying to take them away.

By the way, shouldn't we bring some back bacon,too?

Lol, NOT that I didn't think of it...

You've got your hands full with the reaally important stuff.

FOX (bundled with Bloomberg) is available on digital cable for about 2 bucks a month in the larger cities (Calgary for instance) served by Shaw Cable. (Actually it's FREE right now for 1 month).

In the city I live, it will "soon" be available. The Shaw sales people told me on the phone, that the demand is "high" for FOX News.

Yikes, CBC sounds worse (more biased) than CBS!

Is FOX Canada the same as in the States? (O'Reilly, Hannity, Hume, etal.)

Hopefully FOX will throttle the competition. Betcha they do HUGE ratings.

Imagine if CBS was run by union card carrying government bureaucrats, had the FCC in it's back pocket, 100% of it's funding from a Democrat gov't in power uninterupted for over a decade, and for 60 of the last 70 years.

We can't get Fox News in Toronto unless we buy digital and that costs way too much.

This should be fun to watch. After about a year or so the Canadians'll start to thinking about how they've been screwed.

I started watch Fox News when it was on just two hours a day. Not that long ago either. And when I first saw it I thought that this is the first News outfit that actually tried to report both sides. Talk about a rocket! It took off and look where it is at now.

You don't need to be so rash. Your friends in Texas have plenty of extras we can loan you.

Seems we can count on Texas to fix just about everything!
