I once read an article in a Games Magazine from the 1980s that said “Soon, there will be no new jokes” and that comedians were getting desperate.

Yeah, but Robert, this is not exactly a new idea in Canada.
Nor is any of it new for the CBC.

22 Minutes has been very blatantly pointing a finger at a number of issues like this.
As does Rick Mercer, and a few other comedy venues. Most of them took off where Air Farce left off.

The question, in line with what you (curiously) keep saying was “your idea”, would be, does any of it actually raise awareness in the average Canadian, and/or incite Joe Citizen to look into any of it for themselves? Maybe. But making humour of these things has always been a Canadian custom. People may actually pay less attention to things they’re used to seeing.

THANK YOU This Hour Has 22 Minutes!

That’s a good way to reach the masses and it’s hilarious!

A long time ago I proposed such an idea for youtube, people said what we had was enough, but this is what I was aiming for.

Love the sniffles in the 70’s. Subtle hint there.

I watched this last night.
Good to see them freely hammering the subject like that.

I’ve noticed, over the last few years, the CBC seems to be putting out a lot of content that could be interpreted as “unfavourable” to the Government and to some big corporations.

There must be some space time alternative universe crap going on because how else could that video exist when the VCR killed movies and telivision?
