  • The letter argued that Canada’s radio regulations were designed to address the problems created by its vast geography, its “linguistic duality” (English and French), and the fact that space on analog radio is limited, making decisions about what gets broadcast necessary.

    Citation needed DiMA. Way to try framing the issue to look in your favour.

    Instead of those “issues” we now have locked down apps and opaque algorithms that reduce user control.

    To be fair I have found some good stuff through the recommendations, but I also don’t know how often they try to boost certain artists because of back room deals. Companies need regulations to keep them slightly honest.




  • Exactly! I remember seeing a video of Jason Kenny throwing out some ridiculous number of jobs it’ll bring to Alberta, when Shaw was already an Alberta based company.

    I’ve come to the conclusion that some inefficiencies are actually good for an economy. With multiple companies each has to have a support department and sales department and installation techs and engineers and… It’s not very efficient in that there’s a lot of redundancy, but it’s better for the economy.



  • That video!! Yeah, I don’t believe it either. Sort of reminds me of doing Kung Fu as a kid. We’d do public demonstrations and would sometimes ham it up a bit for the audience. I wonder if that’s what’s going on.

    Have you practiced push hands? There’s a neat effect I can only describe as sort of being able to bounce off the other person. You can get some decent air with it! I also wonder if there’s a bit of that going on with a lot of exaggeration.
