My New Toy

Well I have a new toy. I recently upgraded to digital cable and ohh my lord, what a blast it is. I went from a mere 60 channels 2 weeks ago to over 165 digital channels, 40 digital music channels, 11 sports channels, and 6 movie channels. As well i get canadian time shifting which allows me to watch channels all across canada from CVIT from Vancouver BC to NTV from St John's Newfoundland. So ohhhh yes I am enjoying this investment alot, especially the time shifting. Since nova scotia is 3hrs ahead and newfoundland is 3.5 hrs ahead, i if a show is on here in calgary at 9pm its on at 6pm here with the timeshifting. For example tomorrow is monday and the season premiere of CSI:Miami is on ctv (channel 3 ) at 10pm my time BUT with canadian timeshifting, i can watch it at 7pm on ATV ( channel 75) ...mmmmmmmmmmmmm new toys..gotta love 'em.

Here is a list of ALL the channels i get

Just When You Thought Nothing Good Was On TV

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere we go again. Just when you thought there was nothig but political bullschit on tv with the american republican and democratic conventions on us tv, it gets worse. today at 7:00am EST, our dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper, called an election for october 14th (one day after the Thanksgiving holiday. HOWEVER it is conterversial decision condsidering that in calling the election, Harper ignored his own law for a fixed election date. The Conservatives had set Oct. 19, 2009, for the next vote.

Unlike the us political system with only 2 parties to choose from, Republicans and Democrats, In canada we have several to choose from. We have:

Bloc Québécois , Conservative Party Of Canada, Liberal Party Of Canada ,New Democratic Party

and, The Green Party
