a good thing?

so, i'm not sure how i feel about the fact that the CRTC needs to bribe canadian networks to put up canadian show, but it is an interesting concept.

basically, in return for more cancon television stations will be allowed to run more ads.

i guess it's a good thing 'cause it supports the arts. it's just that in my ideal little world it would be nice if the canadian arts scene didn't have to be supported through bribery. i mean, there is some really good stuff out there!

oh, and on the not sure whether it's good or not note, apparently they're doing a new version of the series 'the beachcombers'.

heck, i love degrassi the next generation or whatever it's called, so i guess it can all be good. oh, speaking of degrassi, apparently silent bob (kevin smith) found out there was a new degrassi and was so excited by the prospect he got himself invited to the show. he tried to get ben afleck to join him but the propect of publicity like "afleck's career so bad he has to make appearances on canadian teen melodrama" was too daunting so he didn't do it. wimp! ;)
