Canada's TV tax / Save local TV squabble explained
I love this summary and video (which, btw, is accurate): "Both groups receive enormous subsidies to promote Canadian television (broadcasters get a 'local programming fee' and cable/sat operators get a state-backed monopoly that keeps foreigners out). Both want more money, and both want the other guy to collect the fee, so they other guy looks like a jerk. A pox on both their houses." Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing, November 27, 2009.
