Canadians...I Just Heard This On ABC Evening News...
 

Canadian government banned satalite tv in an attempt to keep the p[eople of canada dumbed down and to only see and believe what they are told by their government.

the product?
the uneducated rantings of mr.popup:1orglaugh

I tought that was only happening in the US of ASS'sss:)

why do canadians have to imitate americans on everything

well we don't....the Canadian government does....and probably due to pressure from the US.

Most normal Canadians pray for the day people realize we're not the 51st state

Yet another asshole post

is that how canadians see themselves?
odd. we should start collecting taxes from them then.:1orglaugh

Sure why not? You already collect taxes from a populous your government does nothing for. :Graucho

The whole banning of Satelite TV stuff from the states is because the Satelite TV companies in Canada were bitching because of loosing sales (because they can't offer much/very good programming), which is why everyone would buy US Satelites..

Also, TV stations are required to show a % of Canadian programing, and through US satelite we'd get none. Meh.

Cheers,

I thought it was to do with not trying to brainwash the Canadians with the Oprah/Baywatch bubblegum TV that dominates the US airwaves

You nailed it brutha! :thumbsup

yeah, free trade only works when you want to sell your shit to us. :)

Thats funny!

I live about 15 minutes from Windsor Canada.. just accrosed the bridge in a suburb of Detroit. I spend a great deal of time in Canada actually and I love it there. I mean... whats not to love? The exchage rate is awesome for us USA folk. For every dollar I spend I get an extra .50 cents. So.. every 100.00 is actually 150.00 in Canadian funds.. I always do my Christmas shopping there. We go up to Toronto and shop for a day and also around Windsor. Canada saves me about 2000-3000 a year.

What is really fun is going the the Casino in Windsor and taking 200.00 Cash it in and you have 300.00 to gamble with. Makes for a longer night anyways.. lol I still go home without much left, but I did get to stay longer then I would have been able to in Detroit. :thumbsup

Check the facts and the record as to what country has been damaged more by soveriegnty-threatening trade rulings by the corporate-controlled World Trade Organization.

And as for the Satellite misinformation you are spreading: Saying we dont have access is misleading. There have been rulings meant to strengthen the Canadian Broadcasters hold on the satellite tv market but they have done nothing but pay lip service to prevent signal purchase of US TV product by Canadians.

Its like saying PIRACY IS ILLEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES SO IT DOESNT HAPPEN

the same is true for radio, is it not?

I too live in the suburbs of Detroit (about 20min to Windsor, ON). I like it because they've got TONS of shit for pirating satellite, a lot cheaper than what you'd pay on the www :winkwink:

Actually, it was a joke and he was mocking Mrpopup's threads..


:1orglaugh

hahahaha. you've got it all figured out.

you realize that we *really* *REALLY* don't care don't you?
its just fun yanking the chain of a nobody from nowhere. :1orglaugh

Happy New Year to you too Ron:winkwink:

all your common wealths are belong to us

I live in Windsor, but I dont go to Casino, I have been there just twice I think.
