The National Post website has a great editorial on the subject by Robert Fulford. A further note to those who think Canadian culture is someone intrinsically better than American culture: only in Canada do we have a government run tv network that pays huge amounts of money to create unwatchable shows. While the network system in the US surely creates more than its share of dreck, there are the odd gems; as cable becomes increasingly financially viable the quality of programming available only increases. And just think, it's all accomplished without massive coerced public subsidy! How truly unCanadian.
