UN Flunks Economics Again

We've got miles to go before we catch up to you...

Well spawning a movement that is blatantly protectionist yet somehow gets itself declared a human right does knock you up a few knotches.

You're still 5 billion notches ahead.

We'll we've never had the balls to declare any of that a human right.

Rap/Hip-Hop, + its culture, and "sex and the city" are perfidious american influences which should be restricted.

No, you just sign an agreement and then break your word.

Talk to me when the Canadian content quota on your media is dropped.

Actually, the GoC has lost cases due to NAFTA.

Split run magazines were one IIRC.

It's the American way.

Also, there is no CanCon limit on cable...

We have as many American channels on my local basic cable as we do Canadian.

The reduced CanCon quotas for Canadian broadcasters are met by 6am cooking shows and hockey. To get into prime time, a Canadian show has to have some serious quality (kick ass).

So what exactly are you complaining about, again?

[notyoueither]

Oh, and there is no such thing as CanCon at the box office.

Do you have a clue what is what, Dino?

The fact it exists at all. I thought I was quite clear about that.

[notyoueither]

You were quite clear in whining about anything existing that stops American exports, while being curiously silent about American breeches of agreements they have entered into willingly by limiting imports.

[DinoDoc]

Well this thread is about you people whining about your culture (when the real motive is money) and having the awesome ability to declare such whining and protectionism a human right with a straight face. If you wish to discuss something other than that I would be willing to listen in another thread.

[notyoueither]

My part was you singling out Canada as a 'trailblazer'.

You're full of ****, and you'd know it if you were the least bit familiar with the subject.

[KrazyHorse]

If you really think that the main motive for CanCon laws is money then you're off your rocker.
