Easy tiger. Ignorant fools will say what they want and see the world in black and white ... when it is to their advantage. Just don't make me pay to enable them to do so. Compare the funding. The pittance given to CG is nothing compared to the billions poured into the CBC. There is no need for a black and white world. But you can't justify your stance wihout resorting to one. Should their be some funding to promote Canadian television? Yes. Should it be in the billions annually to promote a political agenda? Absolutely not. Poor, poor angry, emittered leftists. Caught up in web of their own hypocrisy with no justificaiton.

Good work WDW and Fortunata! Posts #2 and 3 you managed to hijack and compare Harper to GW. You are credits to the angry, embittered, entitled, pseudo-intellectual leftist cause!

Easy tiger. No need for the swearing and hanger. Unless you are trying to satirize the angry, embittered, entitled leftist pseudo-intellectual. If so, you are doing a brilliant job. I'm not a censor. I believe in the free market place of ideas. If somebody wants to produce garbage like this and foot the bill it's none of my business. I'd just ignore it if that were the case. As my tax dollars are going to fund this putridity I do have a say. And I'm saying "Quit wasting my money on this garbage."

I never said anything negative about Corner Gas. Corner Gas is privately-funded and examines the stereotypes with a lot more deft than this terrible LMoTP. Even if it didn't, it's none of my busines because my tax dollars aren't going to fund it....

So if I the show portrays all but one of the Muslims as fanatical terrorists you won't have a problem with it? I'm not a white male. I'm pretty sure that Kimmy isn't a white male. But I have a lot of friends who are and I feel their opression. It's about being forced to pay to be attacked and put down by our national public broadcaster.

That's a bit of a mis-characterization. LA has been a nightmare for the NFL for a long-time. LA Memorial Coliseum is huge, but not really well-suited for the requirements of a modern NFL team. No box seats, or club section. It would take money to bring it up to standard and no one is willing to bring in the money. As the Coliseum is in South LA there was very little interest in taxpayer-funded renovations as the neighbourhood was considered too *scary*. South LA has been cleaned up a lot so people might be more receptive in the future. The NFL almost went back to LA in 2002. But their options were LA where people didn't really care too too much about bringing a team back and Houston which bent over backwards to do so.

Here's a deal Shakey. (Which based on your post history you'll ignore and start in with the insults.) In the very post WDW quotes the term "undisclosed" if you look at the context of the original sentence they 're-classified' the donations. Skillful editing aside re-classification implies that the funds were reported just not disclosed as donations. All semantics. Again WDW quit lying and provide some proof that you don't have to manipulate to fit your theory.

So I fulfill the stereotype of an ignorant hick? Have I said racist things on the board? Is my grammar or spelling poor? Why exactly are you calling me an *ignorant hick*? At least I'm not ignorant enough to confuse CBC and CTV! I have experienced that stereotyping in Toronto and Ottawa. That piece on the CBC was totally insulting.

*Only* if they weren't Liberal Deputy PMs. Then they would be the greatest thing since sliced bread, or Iggy at least.

You're lying and you haven't proven anything...

Anything to contribute to the board. You are portraying the stereotype of the guy who is soooooooo tough safely behind his computer screen.

Now they are attacking protestants.

At this point you aren't spinning. You are out and out lying.

That's the problem. You get good shows when your priority is making good shows. When your priority is pushing an agenda and you try and make good shows that fit the eanda you end up with a bunch of shows that fit the agenda.

If anybody is interested I'll start a poll at how many times people cringe while watching the pilot.

I'm saying it's offensive to Western Canadians of all stripes. That Torontonians are laughing at us by exploiting such an inaccurate stereotype.

In the classic sense of the term. NFL is great to watch. The only thing that beats it is a good quality hockey game.

Why would any Muslim who isn't a terrorist find that stereotype offensive? Why would any East Indian who isn't a cab driver find that stereotype offensive? Why would any Jew who isn't cheap find that stereotype offensive? And so on and so on and so on... If a redneck walked up to a Muslim woman and asked her "Why can't you Muslim gals show a little more cleavage?" That wouldn't be an offensive thing to say? Exactly. But not for long. The CBC is slowly killing itself. Everytime it corners itself and shrinks its target audience the CBC increases the likelihood of it being cut off the Government umbilical cord. Unlikely. Probably more people will read this thread than will become fans of that POS show...

Great post. Yet another reason not to where a Canadian flag while I travel....

Hey you pretension wannabe Eurotrash you are clearly a troll. Why not start a thread about the merits of soccer versus football instead of high jacking this one?

To Western Canadians. Because people from the Golden Triangle look down their noses at people from the prairies for how we vote, the vehicles we drive and the way we vote. Think I'm joking? Go to a party with self-believed *professionals* in Toronto and see how quickly that stereotypy comes out. The quote about *Muslim gals* is far more offensive than anything any of the characters has said on Corner Gas. Doesn't matter though. My point is being forced to subsidize it's productino through the CBC. The CTV is a private enterprise. If I donlt like one of their shows I just don't watch it. (Like I don't watch Canadian Idol.)

The Bank of Montreal is a private company that operates without taxpayer funding. They have every right to pursue this line of business if they so choose.

Neither of your options point to my true motivation. Just pointing out that he appears to have already passed judgment while claiming not to.

In three elections they won majority governments without ever approaching 50% of the vote on election day. Care to explain again how the did what the majority of Canadians wanted? Whatever with the every two minutes. Martin repetaedly brought up the Conservatives as Prime Minister. Chretien didn't because the party hadn't been formed yet. But he did repeatedly refer to the Reform and the Alliance. You Harper-haters really need to look at the issues here. Your strongest attacks is the Conservatives lay things at the feet of the Liberals. ..... Oh what a sin. While the Liberals were attacked on HRDC, the Gun Registry, Sposnorship, Shawinigate... You are angry because the Government has been so clean compared to the Liberals that people see your little invented *scandals* for the farce that they are. Continuing these attacks only plays into Harper's hand in builidng a majority coalition. Thanks

You forgot to mention the condescension of silver spoon socialists to redneck prairie hicks. But you made up for it by being condescending yourself. Good work sir! What does that one line mean?
