I’ve never been more proud to be Canadian. First, it is not “Illegal” to download movies. Then it is legal to share music because we pay a tax on each piece of digital media. Now, a television network, who I would not have thought would do it, are distributing one of it’s tv shows via bittorrent.

Could this be the first of it’s kind of a huge broadcasting company realizing the great power of bittorrent and the large amount of people it can reach.

They have decided to release their TV show called “Canada’s Next Great Prime Minister” through bittorrent. CBC has gained much of my respect back for them! Way to go CBC. I hope others will follow suit. Too bad all the other broadcasting companies are more interested in making money off ads to pay their huge salaries, rather than actually make the TV shows for the viewers who actually keep them in business.

Wow, All I can say is WOW! China of all people are blasting a nation who promotes peace and equal rights for hosting someone that is being oppressed by China. China is not known for being a great human rights nation. How can they, in their right mind, blast Canada for hosting someone who has their people killed for no reason at all?

Everyone seems afraid to put sanctions on China because most of our cheap products come from there. I admit that I would miss all of the products that they made if we did ban their exports. However, they should not be telling other countries they are wrong for hosting someone. He is not a threat to China, he is not a terrorist, he is not even a bad person. Why would China care if we hosted him? Mind your own business China.

I was getting my Halloween costume downtown Toronto today when I saw this funny sign. It was a lease sign for some building on Spadina and I thought it was worthy of being on this site!
