The Canadian Government And The CRTC

Are almost at the top of my least favorite things right now.  For weeks now I have been hearing the same thing on television, it goes something like this:

"The Government of Canada and the CRTC have decided (made law) that of August 31st, 2011 there will no more free reception or any reception from a TV antenna".  This is not a direct quote, but this is what has been decided.  There is something about analog and digital, I think most of us know what anal means and digit to me means a number or a finger or toe.  I can remember a time in my life when the only TV I or my children watched happened when we moved a metal coat hanger around on top of the TV.  I also remember when my children's father climbed up on the roof to put an antenna up so we would get more than 2 or 3 channels.

There are people I know today that have to decide if they use their monthly monies on rent and hydro or if they use it for food that is not 80% starch.  Not every family can afford a multi computer home, even though to get through school it is a necessity.  Now the Canadian Government and the CRTC are making sure that every family pays for cable or a satelite to watch anything on TV.  I would like to suggest that the Government of Canada and the CRTC do something with their digit and anal...og, but then I remember that I am a lady..........o.k. maybe not always a lady.
