Throwing money at an issue isn't an effective way of actually making things better though. I would like to see some promise of better programing before I open up the chequebook and start handing over money.
If you look at the neighbors to the south, there are some high quality shows that are being produced, by relatively small broadcasters (FX for instance). Canada has nothing to that effect, there is nothing critically acclaimed to come out of it for decades as is evidenced by people bringing up the original degrassi, kids in the hall, and road to avonlea as their examples of programing.
I was more disappointed in your if you don't like it, leave approach to the situation. I think that your arguments are generally better than that and it is frankly pretty dumb and childish.
