That's what I thought. The definition of Canadian culture is totally subjective, The CBC doesn't even try to speak to and for all Canadians. Which is why I think having such a National Broadcaster that's supposed to exhibit Canadian culture is a waste of time and money.

Is there a definition somewhere?

Nice! acknowledge that he was lying about the power plant but say that it's OK because Hudak would have been worse.

There's no evidence of that, you're assuming how he reacted. All we know is that his daughter was scared. You going to call her a pussy too?

I'll assume you're joking there.

Actually only one person killed themself at the CDC, other than Jenner. That character was sort of a throwaway character, she wasn't even in the comic. Dale and Andrea have a special bond, in the comic they actually have a romantic relationship. The whole CDC part wasn't that interesting to me. Grimes is always leaving doing other stuff, that's actually accurate to the comics. The episode does a nice job comparing how Lori and Rick react to a loved one being shot by the first scene of the show. In a later comic he get trapped and his hand gets cut off by a crazy person that's taken control of a town. It's in his Alpha Male personality I suppose. Him leaving in the Vatos episode provided more drama. With Darryl, Shane and Rick there the Zombie attack would have been so severe. Of course he needed the bag of guns. And now we know Merle is alive, without a hand and holding a grudge. Also that episode showed that scene with the head of the Vatos saying how this event has only made human's worse not better.

So wouldn't you say that's sort of unfair to networks that don't get a $1.1 billion head start?

Does Federal money go into purchasing those shows though?

What reason does he have to come to your place?

Sorta like how the CBC uses taxpayer money to do go to people's home and harass them?

I think the comic is great. A lot more fast paced than this show. But to claim "believability" about a show about Zombies is pretty funny. I don't think that's the point. This new character Herchel is very interesting. Darryl is a very intriguing character considering who his brother is. So is Dale, he's sorta like my Father-in-Law.

According to Newtalk 1010 this morning former Mayor David Miller was really peeved that one of their producers called his home. I don't think Mayor Ford was really afraid, I just think he wanted to stick it these people that think it's cool to go to people's house and make fun of them.

Is that Battle of the Blades or Little Mosque on the Prairies. Does going to a mayor's home display a shared national consciousness? How about buying Cornation's Street, Jeoparty and Wheel of Fortune? How can you not differentiate in your mind public money that's available to everyone. G4TV Canada, Food Network Canada, Nat Geo Canada, Slice, Global, CTV, City, MTV Canada, CBC, Quebecor etc. And money that's only given to the CBC to fulfill a specific mandate.

Well other than the fact that it's not funny at all. When she's done this thing in the past it's the first time, I can recall, they've gone to a private residence to do it. Sorta like when The Star sent a reporter to the Ford's cottage during Pride week. Stay classy left-wing media.

I'm curious what shows you like. Again I can't argue with your opinions. I'll just respectfully disagree. But zombie shows really aren't about the zombies. It's about how people react to the zombies.

Good job spending of that federal money CBC. Go harass a guy at his home in front of his kid. You know they do that in the private sector in the US a lot more effectively. It's called TMZ.

Quebecor doesn't receive 1.1 billion in federal money that's supposed to go to contributing "to shared national consciousness and identity" whatever that means.

Well the debate here isn't that the CBC shouldn't get that money, that's a debate we can have though. But if they get that money for being the National broadcaster then that makes them a Crown Corp and subject to Freedom of Information requests which they've refused on many occasions to comply with. CBC themselves brought this issue issue of what Quebecor gets in money that's available to all broadcaster. They probably should have just kept their mouths shut because this "get the facts" thing makes them look bad.

More unsubstantiated claims by olph1fan.

Elitist opinion from you? No way! Perhaps you could give a few reasons why it's so horrible. Even though there's no real debate for taste.

There's a pretty rare opinion http://www.times-herald.com/local/AMC-s--Walking-Dead--earning-big-ratings--1895594

Cuz they deserve it DAMNIT!!!

Especially when considering CBC got money from that same fund, above and beyond their $1.1 billion handout. You really think their case is equally as effective if they disclosed that Quebecor contributes about as much as they receive from the government?

Both episodes last night were excellent. Walking Dead first Boardwalk second, No Question. Then you watch this talk show called Talking Dead afterwards.

No they said Qubecor got $500 mil over 3 years, not annually. So it's not even that close. Plus as we've found out, they also put money into the pot that broadcasters take from. If the CBC was forced to be privatized (which I don't see happening anytime soon) They would just have be more careful with the money they do collect. I know it's an anecdote but there's an afternoon talk radio host named Jim Richards in Toronto (Newstalk 1010) that was talking about how CBC Radio hosts get a different show producer for every day of the week. So there's a person on the CBC's payroll that's only responsibility is to produce one radio show a week, according to him. No I can't prove that. But with these freedom of information requests, I'm guessing Quebecor is trying to expose that CBC is not being good stewards of the taxpayer money they receive, above and beyond what everyone else can apply for.
