Now, The Really, Really Big Question for Canadians
Before I finalize my plans for moving to Canada, I just need to know one thing: What's TV like in Canada? Can I get ESPN there? Can I get baseball and NFL football? HBO?

1. Considering Canada has 2 Major League Baseball teams
Yes, I'd say you can get baseball.

7. All you need to know about Canadian television:
We get to hear people talk like adults and see full frontal nudity.

13. And the obnoxious Canadian Tire couple
I'm sorry, but that's the only thing I don't love about Canadian TV. My favorite is the off-beat NTV stuff. I love to see what they come up with.

15. you'll have to "Roll up the rim to win" and tells us WTF a double double
is when you find out, Yavin4.

I've been watching CBC for years. It's great. Watch 'This Hour Has 22 Minutes' and anything with Rick Mercer in it.

16. Move on out. Make us weaker. Why not go the extra mile,
seek us out, and blow our brains out one by one while you're at it and save * the trouble?

18. Yes to TSN, and NFL
Yes to baseball...not sure about HBO...don't watch TV much, but I have a choice of cable or satellite dish...same pretty well everywhere here.

We have Spanish, French, Italian, British TV as well...and news from everywhere, even Al Jazeera.

You can also get food from all over the world, and fusion cooking, and we have wine, beer etc from all over as well.
