    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.

    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.

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

    Only sometimes?

    One reason to be proud of being Canadian is 'Gordon Lightfoot'. That may be your only reason, but still...

    What part of the country are you thinking about checking out?
    It's a toss up between South East US or Canada, we'll see financially what the story is.

    If I do go I'll be headed to Toronto, trying to rent a Hilux and might pop over to see Youngblood.

    Everybody has their own opinions...where I see an achievement oriented system you might see ia system which benefits the rich and where you see a system that helps the poor I may see a system that rewards freeloaders......either way I am sure there are cases where we are both correct.


    I can accept that you see things different than myself....I don't have an issue with it as long as we don't just keep bitching about the same thing over and over and over again
