Could CRTC Super Bowl Sim-Sub Make Trump More Angry About NAFTA?
The story that will not die (and will happen a week from Sunday for sure) continues.
How the CRTC’s Super Bowl interference might make Trump even angrier about NAFTA
I still believe the average Canadian viewer hasn't been paying attention to this and many will watch on CTV because they really aren't aware there's a choice. It will be interesting to see how far the ratings for the biggest show of the year falls off at the Canadian network.

Re: Could CRTC Super Bowl Sim-Sub Make Trump More Angry About NAFTA?
oh? is there a futbool game between manchester and lincolnshire united?
I get this is a CRTC issue, and there's lots of dollars involved. Yet people are arguing over COMMERCIALS? as in, i want to see what people are trying to sell me? I will make my next choice of beer, cars, or american insurance because a puppy/lizard/anthropomorphic sloth suggested so?
My takeaway is that the game itself is superfluous, and that those individuals are watching in order to be sold something. I have no time for the minutiae of this argument, because people are idiots.

I'm quoting myself from last year (I think)

Seriously? We as Canadians are (essentially) paying people to debate/argue over s_ _t like this. For what? The right to watch US commercials in real time, while drinking beer and eating wings, when the same commercials will be able to be viewed, mere moments after airing, via the internet, before the beer becomes warm and the wings get cold? Seriously?
F' me!!!! Where do I line-up to get a job like that?. Never mind. I would be fired, or never hired to begin with, for what I would have to say to anyone if they told me I had to deal with 'issues' like this on a regular basis.
In my everyday life I do all that I can to avoid commercials/advertisements from entering my consciuous environment.What is it with 'these people' that go out of their way to fight for the 'right' to be unduly influenced into buying products they likely are already aware of, and have just as likely already made up their minds as to whether or not they're going to buy (the product) or not?
Thanks for your collective time to read this.
I needed to let off some steam and this worked a treat!
