May I ask for some substantive evidence for your analogy?  NBC,ABC,CBS, PBS
and ETV are all available in Canada, CTV gets a lot of newstape from those
networks, Global gets a lot from Turner's CNN, which is available on pay TV,
anyway.  Even state television is so much controlled by the government that it
recently made public scandals which led to the resignation of a minister and
seriously damaged the government's credibility... CBC runs a lot of newstape
from the BBC, and in Quebec you can even get the evening news from France.

If I'm going to be restricted in what I hear, that's the way I want to be
restricted :-).
