Canadians could be thrown in jail for watching TV
 
Canadians could throw you in jail for watching TV
The Canadian (sic) Liberal (sic) government (sic) - in between spending $2
billion dollars for an old '486 PC to register a few dozen (mostly harmless)
long guns, and then siphoning off a few hundred million 'sponsorship'
dollars for their friends - is now embarking on building a new version of
the Berlin Wall.

Believe it or not, they're actually planning to make it a criminal offence
to watch certain TV channels.

Here.

"Under Bill C-2, anyone who subscribes to a foreign satellite television
service could face criminal penalties, including the possibility of a year
in prison."

Canadians will henceforth be permitted to watch only those TV channels
approved by the Canadian (sic) Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) and
carried on the two authorized Canadian satellite systems (or Cable - lol).

Here is our situation. My wife happens to be a cute little lady of non-WASP
ethnicity. To keep her happy, in addition to our totally-legitimate Canadian
satellite system for which we pay about $60 per month, we also subscribe to
another non-Canadian (based off-shore) 'ethnic' satellite system to provide
several TV and radio channels in her native language.

These type of 'ethnic' channels will likely never be available on a Canadian
satellite system due to the minority interest and limited bandwidth of the
Canadian systems.

The only alternatives a 1) don't watch these 'ethnic' TV channels, or 2)
risk going to jail.

We would appreciate you bringing this obvious and completely ridiculous
injustice to the world's attention as soon as possible.

DD,
Maybe they'll make an exception because you ARE subscribing to a =
legitimate Canadian satellite company in addition to the off-shore. =
Maybe the law is for those who are abdicating the national system for =
the off-shore.

our TV's ok, but the movie industrys actors and directors are the slim
balls. Micheal Moore, the worst. A usless POS that ruined the oscars.
I will boycott the oscars this year thanks to moore and the Johnny
Depp types.

BTW did you hear the leno Joke about the passion of the Christ flik ?

Leno said the movie was so good... they will most likely write a book
about it.

Haha... I refuse to see it. I think that it's historical inaccuracies
outweigh
it's supposed message. Even some of the violence is out of line apparently.

MM is a bit over the top, but some of his movies are pretty good. I liked
it when he ambused Heston.

DD,

I get Canadian TV and an awful lot of the programing should be grounds
for locking up viewers.
