If you, like myself, are Canadian you should be pissed off at what is happening with our local TV and radio stations.
One thing that makes America the dominant nation that it is is its culture; culture is not what the government, a bunch a of http://www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/ folks sitting in the CRTC offices trying to figure out how to force feed crappy Canadian music and TV down our proverbial throats. Culture is what people want. Apparently people want Deal or No Deal [my Julie's Le Banquier in La Belle] not poetry; Don Cherry not poetry; NFL not poetry.
The other thing that we want is we want to be heard, we want our stories told and the shutting down of the A Channels [effectively] across the land means one less place for our stories to be told.
How can it be that the number one station, the A Channel, in a market of 400 000 people, Windsor, Ontario, cannot make money? It boggles the mind. Or they, the people at CTV, are lying.
More on that next time.
