Now slowing it down even more is just ridiculous. BTW Rogers owns Citytv in Toronto, which has led to some interesting shifting of programs. It's strange to see FT on CTV and to see etalk red carpet at the Junos suddenly acquiring a bit of MuchMusic hipness. And it's even stranger but quite nice to suddenly see more Canadian drama on Citytv than CTV. Rogers has 3 years to move Citytv from its iconic building on Queen -- CTV has renamed it the MuchMusic building -- to Yonge-Dundas. Hopefully Citytv will bring some flare to that square, and get rid of that dorky stage while they're at it.

We pay full price for 1/5th of our U.S Neighbours plans and connections. I personally love how Canada really only has access to sub-par internet connections, and cell phone plans.
