The Real Boards of Canada

Know what I love? I love that my publicly funded national news still does 20 minute segments on the falling polar bear population in Nunavut. Location shots like crazy.

I would also be surprised if we found out Inuit people are not totally from Eastern Asia.

Next up is... wait for it... wait for it... Rrrrrrex Murphy. We all hope they keep him on the CBC until he's a head floating in a jar.

I'm with you, Brody. There's not much I really watch on television these days, but every time I watch The National, I'm very glad we have the CBC.

I'm not sure why they've attempted to tart it up with that inane weather segment, though. Since most people are interested primarily in their own local weather, I don't know why a national weather segment is considered a good use of the limited airtime available, but I guess the CBC's programming wizards are smarter than I am.

Anyway, I'm very, very glad to have Peter Mansbridge and The National to report the news, and This Hour Has 22 Minutes to make fun of it.

Rex Murphy, Canada's favourite polysyllabic rooster!

They tried that with Knowlton Nash, back in the mid-80s, you know. Not a pretty sight.

Heads floating in a jar can be fun! They get to attend all the best parties.
