I knew what you meant -- that political correctness was "worse in Canada. I don't think so and I provided an example (the nativity scene in Calgary's city hall) so again, if we are so anti-religion and "PC" in Canada then how come this happens?
Regarding the hated CBC -- I was listening to the CBC just yesterday and I'll be darned but parts of the show were dedicated to having kids phone in and sing Christmas carols like "Jingle Bells" and "Silent Night". So I guess you'll hafta find something else to bitch about because that is a lot more Christmasy than the other radio stations I'm sure.
And another thing -- retail flunkies saying "Season's Greetings" instead of "Merry Christmas" is not "politically correct", it's "capitalism". The government or the CBC or some godless Communist special interest group didn't have anything to do with it. It's all about money and being very careful that you don't "insult" a customer.
It's stupid to be sure but it's not political correctness.

That's exactly what political correctness is all about. Spending too much time worrying about possibly insulting someone and then dummying down everything into a meaninglessness beige blob. If a few people are offended about the way we've lived for generations, they need to suck it up and get real!
