I love this summary and video (which, btw, is accurate): "Both groups receive enormous subsidies to promote Canadian television (broadcasters get a 'local programming fee' and cable/sat operators get a state-backed monopoly that keeps foreigners out). Both want more money, and both want the other guy to collect the fee, so they other guy looks like a jerk. A pox on both their houses."
