Anyway the argument isn’t that there hasn’t been any good Canadian TV in the last decade or so (newsroom, twitchcity, da vinci’s inquest to name a few) … but rather that the overwhelming majority of canadian shows are … well… not very good. and overregulating the internet will harm, not help canadian creativity.

and, looking at that list, all of them – except maybe you can’t do that – are CBC, national public broadcaster, productions.

down the road, that’s where i’ll always be
and every stop i make, i make a new friend
Can’t stay for long. Just turn around,
and I’m gone again.

Maybe tomorrow, I’ll want to settle down.
Until tomorrow, I’ll just keep movin’ on.”
