Yeah, but that’s like $3.50 American, right?
Such cynicism. You should be ashamed.
Here, I’ll prove it:
E[sup]2[/sup] = m[sup]2[/sup]c[sup]4[/sup] + p[sup]2[/sup]c[sup]2[/sup]
When p = 0
E =mc[sup]2[/sup]
Res ipsa loquitur
I rarely post in the pit, should I have used some dirty words?
$3.75…the Loonie’s been gaining heavily on the Greenback of late. 
(actually, the Loonie been hovering around 90 cents as of late, and is forecast to reach parity and beyond within a couple years…something to do with us being a net petroleum exporter and our government running balanced budgets, I believe)
You’re in Big Trouble.
I’m a Moderator. Shame is beneath me. . . or beyond me. . . or something. . .
Yikes! I’d better avoid mnemosyne from now on. Thanks for the heads up, Chez! I’ll stick with “America Jr.” from now on…
Good thing I’m not the type to go and deliberately aggravate someone like that, eh?
That’s simulcasting, not Canadian Content. If you want to watch U.S. Superbowl ads, you could always lobby whoever bought the Canadian rights to the game…
Yup. The point of the simulcast rules are that the Canadian broadcast rights to the game (or any other show) would be rather less valuable if one could flip the channel and watch the same thing on a US channel. So, to enable CTV (or whoever) to actually sell their Superbowl ad time at a worthwhile price, their ads are played on both feeds. If you want to watch the US ads, you can go online. It’s pretty easy these days.
Mind you, it is really damn annoying to have to put up with those annoying local car dealership and discount furniture store ads during the Superbowl…
Now I know that July 1st is Canada Day.
I haven’t been exposed to anything so vile and filthy since a clown porn DVD narrated by George Carlin.
Well done.
On the plus side, you have “Trailer Park Boys” and “Corner Gas,” both of which are better than 99% of the shows on American TV.
Yes,that was a typo. Thanks for pointing it out.
The rest is over-simplification on my part.
The Canadian Ft. Frances team pulled the American International Falls team into the river during the cross-boundary tug-of-war a couple of days ago, so I guess that pretty much settles everything.
You have just made a very convincing argument with the anology to a human birth. Congratulations, you get first prize.
I was going to write a post arguing that the American Revolution was the conception, with the English being the sperm and the French ebing the egg, but it all got kind of weird.
I don’t get the point of the OP.
The vast majority of countries are probably insignificant on their own.
If Canada doesn’t sing its own praises and ensure its own TV shows and films are produced, who will?
NZ is only just (last 10 years or so) starting to develop a sense of national pride - let’s be honest, who else will do this?
Um, not quite. The invasion begins Thursday. We just simply cannot be second in in a tug-of-war of any sort. Hope you enjoyed the Maple syrup and Canadian Tower while they lasted.
Whisky to be served atop the Space Needle for 6 months. Canadians welcomed!
Amusingly, my daughter was watching the Sunday afternoon movies on one of our local UHF stations, today, and they ran Canadian Bacon.
As a Canadian, I’d like to politely cough at this entire thread, then, gathering all of my emotion and ire on the subject into a single movement, shrug.
In the interest of thoroughness on this topic.
While researching to respond to the Quebec Separation thread I came across quite a few regions of Maine and one in New Hampshire that can claim Canadian territory that lies due south.
