Canada Gets MTV Today (on basic cable)

I've said it a thousand times. The CRTC is the worst thing going in Canadian entertainment. It's such a joke it's ridiculous. From the day it started it was a joke. There was this big Radio station in Windsor that played Motown and RnB music and had a huge following in Detroit but when the CRTC came into play they forced everyone with their Canadian content laws and a station that built it self on folk music had throw in a Canadian folk song every few songs just to stay on the air. It ended up plummetting anyway because it lost all it's listeners. Great way to make Canadian companies boom CRTC. If I ever become PM I'm shutting it down.

CRTC is crazy. They feel so alieanated whenever American culture tries to come to Canada. But that's Canada for you, which I'm not going to get into right now.
Suga Foot:
I think the 33% rule is good for radio. Otherwise nobody would listen to Canadian music.
Canadian TV on the other hand is just garbage.
Lincoln:
Let me agree, fuck the CRTC. If people don't want to listen to Canadian music then they won't, and the market will control things rather than forcing it down our throats.
Since there's no music on this MTV what will be on it?
