You sure seem to be bothered by it, though.

He's not having trouble getting it online. It's working via the web
site, he wants to do it through iTunes.

with their own views no matter how out of touch with reality they are."
Not so much different than the media on this side of the line now that
you mention it.

Really? CBC TV has two programs which I watch daily. Coronation Street
(British) and the Simpsons (American). Nice way of promoting Canadian ideals
