2052...K K I Have Said It Before And I Will Say It

Again.

Canadian TV meisters are schmucks.

There is a saying on Wall Street that bulls make money, bears make money and pigs get slaughtered.

That would be the Canuck TV industry in a nutshell. How can one lose money? Well, offer a crappy product, i.e. limited competitive local programming in mid size markets like Hamilton, Victoria and London and overpay for American shows and lose money on them.

Oh yeah, and tax the f*ck out of the consumer.

Which, btw, with high speed and wi fi and Justin.tv and Surf the Channel means we don't need to pay through the nose for TV we can get for free. The only reason to want to get cable would be for local news but that doesn't exist in Red Deer and Brandon and Niagara and it barely exists in the rest of the country, save Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal.

Way to screw up the golden goose folks.
