Yaaawwwwn, nice try on 8-10 lines out of 1500 though. The rest of your blathering posts are pretty much telling others what to think, do and act like. I'm not the first person you've spewed insults at, nor will I be the last. And to spell-out the Quebec comment to you "you seem like you are from Quebec", get it Frosty?
Fox and CanWest applied for the license jointly knowing full-well what would be expected of them and every other successful licensee. They got what they applied for; no surprises of special conditions and then they sat on the license.
It seems pretty obvious that the business heads at both companies had second thoughts about following-through. And it isn't even as if talking-heads programming is all that expensive to do. Obviously, Fox News Canada was a thin-margin license to begin with. That isn't the fault of the Canadian government. Nobody "banned" anything.
