but the situation is hardly as draconian or all-encompassing as you make it out.

Thank you.

I'll remember that next time I hear about a program on Fox
that my masters do not allow me to see.

If it's all about Canadian content why is CNN allowed but FOX is not?

[-YYZ-]

Well, I do get the Fox network on my cable (or on the air if I hook up the rabbit ears). As to Fox News, I'm not sure why it's not available here. I will readily admit the CRTC is a big pain in the keister and makes some really stupid decisions at times. Still, being denied Fox News is not exactly the equivalent of daily book burnings (IMHO only). I absolutely do not agree with the hate speech laws we now have in this country. While I don't much care for the "God hates fags" crowd, or the historical-revisionist holocaust deniers, I believe it should be their right to spew their hatred in the light of day so that all can see it and repudiate it.

That my FRiend, is the $60,000 ($82,200 Cdn) Question . . .

I saw plenty of American content on the tube during my two month stay west of Winnipeg recently. All the NASCAR races were televised on TSN, the various Hollyweird sitcoms, Discovery Channel, History Channel, CNN, etc. Most of it is just packaged differently. No Fox News Channel though. Not many conservative viewpoints found via the media . . .

Canada is a beautiful country, and it's citizens are among the nicest people I've had the good fortune to meet. Too bad their government is socialist to the core . . .
