Sheila wants to tigten up the Cancon regs to force the broadcasters to create more cancon. Seems no one wants to watch cancon so Sheila will keep taxing harder until they do. Or all switch to DTV.

Cables and the sats want to add HBO? I'm shocked. As long as 99.99% of Sheila's "I want to be PM" money is coming from Canadian producers there will be no HBO.

By the way the headlines over at broadcaster mag read like the obits.
