It would take along time for Canada to get where the US is.

I think to get to entrenched hostility you would first need to get to entrenched unity which is a place where Canada has never and likely will never be. We just dont have the population density or Federal framework to become like that. The fact that Alberta and BC have to sign some pact so that workers will be accepted in either province should be truth enough in that.

And honestly after years and years of TO centric everything (I am not complaining they do have more people) I tend to dround out alot of eastern news noise that I hear so long as it doesnt affect me.

The only issue of recent memory in Canada that has kind of pissed me off is where a Quebec truck driver got off a ticket because it wasnt printed in French, just because the government of Canada is bilingual doesnt mean every province should have to be IMO. But that was a minor issue.

My only fear with a channel like this is that it might highlight some of the more extremist conservative viewpoints that the Conservative party knows they cant win an election on and yet those people are an important part of the fundraising process. And what is marginally ok in rural Alberta, most definately is not in Toronto where all the media gets produced, reprinted, and repackaged.

This channel at the moment would only harm the conservative movement in Canada, not help it because if the NDP and Libs ever did merge, it would mean perpetual losses for the Conservatives - and nothing would be a bigger motivation for the grassroots of those two parties to merge than having a "fox news north".

Also - FYI - Canada is boring, and I think the channel (even though I would subscribe) would be a complete snore fest for the most part. Where as with FNC; Oreily, Hannity, and Beck are if anything at least interesting to watch on a nightly basis.
