Canadians are so different than Americans! So different that they have virtually identical tastes in TV shows—but if I understand the liberals and other vehement anti-Americans correctly, that’s only because Canadians are so very curious and are intrigued by those strange Americans and their strange American ways—which again are so entirely different than our better, more liberal, more “progressive” Canadian ways, and Canadians are just ever so eager to learn more about that strange American culture. Yup.
CLICK HERE TO SEE THE OFFICIAL LIST (will pop-up in small separate window).
Number 16 on the list is Corner Gas—a funny funny show on CTV created, starring, and executive-produced by comedian Brent Butt**. At least it’s funny so far—I’m still waiting for the ubiquitous anti-conservative, anti-American “humor” to creep in and have been happily surprised to not see any yet considering it’s a Canadian show. Number 18 is the CTV News—of course it’s fairly replete with what passes for fair and balanced news coverage in Canada: views from the extreme left… all the way to the left.
The state-run CBC doesn’t have even one show in the top-20. Not one. Up until this week I’d only been showing you the top 10, but thought maybe if I extended it to the top 20 the state-run media might show up—but no. As we now know from the latest Liberal budget, well over ONE BILLION DOLLARS in taxpayer cash isn’t enough to produce on top-rated show, and of course that’s why they increased the budget for the state-run media by tens of millions more taxpayer dollars. That’s how liberal-lefties think.
** Like increasingly large numbers of Canadian business and life in general, no Canadian TV show or movie can, apparently, exist without copious government grants, subsidies, or aid of one kind or another. This is some of what that good show lists in their production credits:
– the Saskatchewan Film and Video Development Corporation
– the Saskatchewan Film Employment Tax Credit
– the assistance of the Government of Canada Canadian Film Video Production Tax Credit Program
And that’s for a show that isn’t on state-run, state-owned media, but rather on a privately owned network.
