A good friend who happens to be Canadian was here yesterday.

She is from Vancouver....She was _BOGGLED_ that our basic cable included 90 channels. She complained that she couldn't get HBO. Their movie channel is "Cinemax".

That said, Cable modem + premium channels + basic cabel was $90 Canadian dollars....which is a nice deal.

You really want to stunn her? Take her to the local grocery store. The selection, the fresh fruits (that are actually the color they're supposed to be) will boggle her mind.

When I came home after working 4 years up there my first trip was to the produce department of the local grocery. I just stood there and looked for about a half hour :o)

She complained that she couldn't get HBO. Their movie channel is "Cinemax". Of course Cinemax would be the Canadian government's choice for movie channels. It's the one that shows the most soft porn.

Last time I visited family in Canada, I was saddened that Fox News was unavailable. The Canadian government considers it to have too much "editorial" content that borders on hate speech. No kidding. Anyone that slams homosexuals or is counter-PC is a hate-monger. Hence Fox News will never see the light of day in Canada.
