We generally manage to avoid too much Bryan Adams here in Toronto. Instead, we have Nickelback or Our Lady Peace as ever second song on the radio.
Is there a rock band that's a bigger bunch of posers than Nickelback? Or perhaps a better question would be, could there ever be a rock band that's a bigger bunch of posers than Nickelback? I saw an interview with them once where Chad Kruger said "Nickelback does not suck. You may not like Nickelback, but we do not suck". Not that I had any respect for him before, but that pretty much made him the single biggest tool in music."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned

I will have to say that while both suck, Nickelback's latest song "Photograph" is infinitely better than Our Lady Peace's latest. The only good part of the OLP song is the 10 seconds of drumming at the beginning."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I had an undergraduate in one of the classes I taught a couple of semesters ago who, after finding out I was Canadian, came up to me and started telling me about how OLP was his favourite band.
It was with great self-discipline that I refrained from telling him how bad his taste in music was.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Not sure I'd go as far as "infinitely better", but I agree with the general sentiment. It's been years since OLP released a song that didn't make me wish for even faster reflexes in terms of changing the station. Nickelback, on the other hand, reminds me of any house band you could hear if you walked into any smokey, seedy hick bar across Canada. I guess I can see how Chad Kruger appeals to all the white trash cougars out there, though."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned

CBC has confirmed that HNIC will be in Dolby Digital 5.1.
They also confirmed it'll be in 1080i, 16:9. I'd expected 720p as it's so fast paced, but I'm not complaining."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Don't particularly like Bryan Adams. Do like Canadian music generally, esp. Cowboy Junkies and the Hip. So you visited Edmonton, eh Asher? I thought I felt a disturbance in the force!Comment

HNIC schedule updated detailing which games are in high definition: http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/hnic/tvschedule.html
Here's a surprise -- every HNIC game that the Leafs play only (with an Edm/Van game as an exception).

It's a publically funded national broadcaster, and it's always been regionally centric.

Then I don't think it should be public.
I'm upset that there isn't going to be a single Flames game in high-def on HNIC, while virtually every Toronto game on a Saturday will be in high-def. That's hugely disproportionate and shows huge favouritism to the "center of the universe".
