But then, your airwaves would be filled with advertisements for mostly US made products from US companies. I thought that's the opposite of what you want.

C] We DON'T want Canada's major cable and satellite providers directly making money off any TV show created outside our borders.

Good luck with that one. I can't name an original Canadian television show that's worth anything.

If I had a hand in this issue, I'd be... A] Pulling the operating licenses for Bell, Rogers, Corus, and Shaw for bidding on U.S. media rights, and shutting those companies down, while having their entire corporate executive boards arrested for obstruction of open broadcast and broadband networks, and interference to stop them from existing... B] Dissolving the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, and firing it's entire staff, for being made up of former employees of Bell, Rogers, et al... C] Issuing a government order mandating that all decisions on Canadian telecommunications would come directly from the federal government, and not a body made up of former telco execs... D] Forming new companies to manage only domestic TV shows, and telling them to offer the entire library of privately-made Canadian TV in a VOD business model, then privatizing them under new management that would not bid on TV rights outside Canadian borders... E] Allowing U.S and International TV channels to come to Canada with no Canadian advertising restrictions placed on them... F] Forcing all local Canadian TV channels owned by private companies(CBC exempt) to go to 21-hour news schedules, with them only airing a prime-time entertainment schedule from 8-11PM local time... G] Forcing TSN and Sportsnet to air sports programming only with Canadian pro sports franchises involved... H] Ordering that all Canadian cable and satellite bills be dropped by 60% of current prices... And I] Beginning discussions with the FCC in the U.S. to unify the Canadian and American telco industries together, where both countries benefitted from the partnership on an equal basis. And if anyone in Canada didn't like any of this? Well, they could kick rocks, because I'd only be interested in making sure that NO Canadian telco directly controlled A] the industry, and B] it's regulatory body, ever again. There's WAY too much naivete among those who consume TV in Canada, and that has to stop.

This part is all nonsense. I don't care about your delusional agenda. Thank the maker you don't "have a hand" in anything. Honestly, why did you type all of this? We might have 100 Canadian posters on this site. Maybe 2 of them read this thread. Maybe. It was a very large waste of time and energy on your part to put this in the sports section of an internet wrestling message board.
