Canadian tv certainly looks like toast right now.  Outside of clips from 
American networks and BBC news services, are there any Candian shows?

   I object to the CBC trying to force Canadians to buy services thru 
Power-Direct.  Why do I need to deal with a middle man?  I'm looking to cut 
costs, not subsidize another second rate service.
