if you want to talk about "modernizing the agreement", the reality is that nobody watches tv any more, anyways. we get our news from the internet. we watch series on youtube. and, we should be promoting more diversity in where we're getting information, not trying to keep the americans out of this gramscian tool.

i don't know what, exactly, "canadian identity" really is. but, if the government wants to promote arts on the ground through grants and other promotional tools, like guaranteed income, that would be very welcome.

so, even this face-saving is...

the government has had a lot of time to think this through, and all it's broadcasting with this is that it hasn't done it.
