US TV is illegal in Canada, both to supply and to receive. The only exception is if a licensed Canadian supplier supplies it. And even then there are "Canadian Content" rules that essentially mean that any US show that's presented must be offset somewhere by a Canadian one. There is, therefore, a huge amount of very good US TV that is simply unavailable here. > you have our sympathy. Canada but be almost catatonic. > Our federal government is currently considering legislation that will allow all cops to pull drivers over anytime, anywhere, for any reason or no reason at all. This is supposed to help the cops catch drunks, but you can bet the cops will be allowed to use the stops to fish for other stuff they can charge you with, just like they do right now with DUI spot-checks. Canadian cops running DUI spot-checks are already allowed to use those spot-checks as fishing expeditions for anything else they can think of to nail you with, everything from outdated paperwork to blown light bulbs to outstanding parking tickets. Our Supreme Court has upheld this abuse of DUI spot-checks. Lovely country. Just lovely. -- Tegger
From: cuhulin on 31 Mar 2010 18:08 WebTV used to be available in Canada and Japan.I think it was Rogers (Canadian company) which used to handle that.I don't know which Japanese outfit handled WebTV in Japan. When WebTV hit the market place in 1996, for a while it was illegal to transport any WebTV set top boxes out of America because of 128 bit encryption.Something like that, anyway. cuhulin

That's pure bullshit and you know it. The only restriction is the commercials.

That's pure bullshit and you know it. Yeah? <http://www.media-awareness.ca/english/issues/cultural_policies/canadian_content_rules.cfm> We don't get the REAL HBO, the REAL Food Network, the REAL Bravo, ESPN, the History Channel, etc. All because of stupid Trudeau CanCon. We lost our DirecTV because of the stupid government. Canada sucks. Trudeau sucked, and he made Canada suck. > The only restriction > is the commercials.

Happy reading! <http://network.nationalpost.com/NP/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2010/03/15/national-post-editorial-board-random-breathalyzers-cross-the-line.aspx> The cops have been allowed to use DUI spot-checks as fishing-expeditions since the '80s. Ask any cop. Canada sucks. Big time. Canada is one fucked-up country. -- Tegger
