Thus the effect of the law was actually, in th case of TIME, to eliminate Canadian content? Greg Miller Indeed I believe this is the case. I remember my father vehemently protesting this (at the time) new law, and his refusal since then to ever subscribe to McLeans (which benefitted greatly from that law). Time decided not to produce a truly Canadian edition of its magazine, since it was going to have to compete directly with highly favoured (subsidized?) Canadian magazines. -- Kim Nguyen kim@watsup.waterloo.edu Systems Design Engineering -- University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
