Sorry, but companies like Canwest Global and CTV (BellGlobeMedia) are the ones not creating enough local content (other than news broadcasts), purchasing American TV shows to show us (which we can already watch from an American source) and simsubbing on most major channels to sell the commercial content.
I'll agree that the cable and satellite companies are raping the Canadian public as well, but the broadcasters don't get a pass...not even close.
