The only reason why a lot of Canadians watch American stations is because the US is the dominant influence here (just as it is in every other modern country). No one cares about Canadian TV here, let alone Canadian news. The only time I actually heard people (my age at least) talk about Canadian news was when there was the issue of decriminalizing weed. Go figure.
And what's with the "Canadians hate the war"? I know a lot of people that are for it. And not every Canadian on this board hates the war either. I don't at least, somewhat anyway, I see two sides to the war in Iraq. In fact, I'd say there are just as many Canadians for the war than Americans (in proportion, that is, not in actual numbers... which may not be a lot considering a lot of people are liberal). Canada has liberal people, do does America.
And I don't know what you guys are talking about when you say CBC shows all the corpses. Even if it does... what happens in war is real. Death and blood is that reality.
