    Default Sometimes I'm ashamed to be Canadian...

    I think I've used that title before...

    One of the biggest news stories here in the last week or so is the controversy over the Hockey Night in Canada theme song. I'll pause a minute and let that sink in. People are up in arms that CBC, a public broadcaster funded with tax money, didn't shell out upwards of 3 million dollars to save the jingle. The song was then sold to TSN/CTV, who will use it on their hockey broadcasts, so it's not as if the song will disappear or be used in another capacity, but people are PISSED that it wasn't kept. It makes my head hurt.

    Is England accepting immigrants? I already loathe the French and I swear I'll learn to love soccer football and warm beer.

    It's not so much that people are upset about the song being sold that bothers me, it's the fact that it has been arguably the biggest news story in the nation over the last week.

    Hey, our biggest story here is water lake levels. Someone in the USA is unfairly tapping our precious Lake Superior, as we are starting to get low on fresh water here, ya know, in the exact middle of where the 3 largest Great Lakes converge. That and them geese that keep shitting on everything and spoiling car paint jobs. lol

    I love being Canadian. We are funny without even knowing it.

    Canadiens are cool, at least your news isn't one bad thing after another....if thats all your worried about up there, then count your blessings. I don't watch the news anymore, it's too depressing.

    Haha I've heard about this. Hilarious stuff though people would be pretty pissed if a State university got a fight song bought away from it which is what I heard it compared to.

    Only thing that sucks about Canada is the censorship crap. Who is Anne Murray? I told you I don't watch news.
