I've heard that satellite dishes are all but illegal in Canada (just as they are in many communist states and Iraq etc) is that true? What other kids of things like that go on up there?

No Marlboro cigarettes.

It's true.

Satellite dishes aren't illegal. Direct TV is though. It's not Canadian owned so it can't be sold here, it doesn't stop people who want it though. All US broadcasts get over ridden with Canadian channels if they're showing the same program (no Super Bowl adds). There's not enough doctors for people because they can make more money in the US but our health care is "the best in the world". Alot of stupid stuff socialist crap. For some reason people who don't work and are in their 30's think that the government owes them a place to live, unfortunatly alot of politicians agree. Apparently 50% tax rate for the rich isn't making them pay "their fair share". This rate will depend on where in Canada you live and it may be lower here in BC now. There was a 25% tax cut (you pay 25% less, we weren't paying 75%) but only on provincial taxes and that's a smaller portion of income tax. You don't even want to hear about the gun laws. If you have a gun it has to be locked in a 400lbs or more safe or a proper gunsafe, whatever that is. I have looked at a few though and I know that about half of Glocks gun are illegal in Canda. I could tell you more about that but there's so much to say and I don't even know all the laws yet as I am only now old enough to get a gun.

Canadian satellite companies are legal though, like StarChoice, ExpressVu and I think thats all we have.
