Can I move to Canada now?

[anthroguy101]

I want to escape the insanity of our country until the Tea Party boils over. I want to find someplace where I can find people who are more nice and less polarized.

Oh Dudley Darn. Looks like Canada is getting a "Fox News" as well. I hope they know better than to fall for the same shenanigans we've been going over:

I hope Canadians are more open-minded than we are. I hope this network doesn't ruin our Emergency Exit. I already can't stand what's going on here.

Then again, just looking at the brainwashing from Fox News I know this isn't going to be good. Crap. I guess I'd better start learning Finnish.

1. I sent this to all my Canadian relatives:

2. Let's hope that proves effective

Why is there such a controversy surrounding this petition anyway? I can't even sign it because I don't live in Canada.

3. They just want to hear from Canadians.

If voting was open to the US, the site would probably crash!

4. I sent it on too to everyone I know here.

Avaaz is persistent, I hope it does help.

7. Fox News is HARDLY going to brainwash Canadians

We've had a free and fair press for too long. We KNOW propaganda when we see it.

Any media outlet that espoused only ONE PARTISAN POV has failed in Canada. We like our new UNbiased, thank you.

And most of us are aware of exactly who and what Fox News is.

8. Yep.

My cable receiver went on the blink and I was looking into changing providers. I listed all the stations I'd seen and chosen online, then after finding out the total cost, was asked if I would like Fox. The woman on the other end of the line said they couldn't offer it in any of the packages, but were required to offer it individually for a minimal fee. This was shortly after that Red Eye segment insulting our military, and Canadians were furious. I just laughed, and asked if she was kidding me?? She was being recorded but I could tell she was trying not to laugh herself. Yes, we know about Fox.

9. As it reads in the article, this is Fox News under a different name

Sun TV. They're trying to be "subtle" about it. I hope Canadians are aware of what Sun is trying to do. Also, when you mean any media outlet, does that include both sides? Can I get examples?

10. This is the third attempt to bring Fox News to Canada

All previous efforts have failed.
