Was in Ottawa last weekend.

Never thought of the thorazine connection, but it sounds about right. My thought was that Canadians are sort of cattle-like. Comes to about the same thing, I guess.

Many dish antennas in Ottawa. On houses, on apartment balconies. If they're illegal, not too many are following the law.

Canadians are all right, I guess. It's just that they spend an awful lot of time thinking about America, and how they don't want to be like us. As a result, they make some rather strange trade-offs.

It's not dishes themselves that are illegal in Canada, just American dishes. There are at least two satellite companies in Canada that provide only Canadian Government-approved programming. Those are the ones whose dishes you're seeing ... 99% of them, anyway.
