CANADIAN TV SHOWS OF THE 1970'S

July 17, 2019

The Fifth Estate (1976 - Still Going) Documentary, News This was a show that I remember my Mom and Dad watching once a week. Later in life I watched it as well. I no longer watch it as I’m no longer interested in news. At the time in the 70’s I did not really get what it was all about, I just wanted to be with my parents while they watched it. My brother never did stay for it if I remember correctly. Hockey Night in Canada (1952 - Still Going) Sports Dad watched this all the time in the 70’s and 80’s then just kind of stopped. I now watch it on my own. I love Hockey and CFL (Canadian Football). At the time I just was there for it – was not interested in sports until I was much older. Marketplace (1972 - Still Going) News, Consumer Affairs This is the consumer affairs show in Canada. They document what a business is doing wrong to a customer or a group and then confront them with it on camera. They have effected change over the years and ran a few places out of business. I was inte...

Mass Shootings - Canada VS USA

August 17, 2025

Canada 70 mass shootings in 25 years USA 2025 (8 months in) 268 268x25=4700 (very low estimate) Population in million Canada 39 USA 333 USA has about 8.5 times the people 70x8.5=596 shootings in 25 years scaling up for population. The approximate estimate is a factor of 7.9 times the shootings per equivalent population in the USA. Remember, this is based on a low estimate. A mass shooting in both countries is counted as 4 or more victims. It's interesting that government statistics show extremely few mass shootings in the USA, but independent sources show vastly more. So is gun control actually working in Canada, or is our culture just way less violent minded? I don't have enough data on that point to tell. I just know that over 90% of illegal guns in Canada are smuggled from the USA. I guess we need to tell the Americans to stop fucking around and police their boarders better. Oh wait, that's our job, just like it's their job to police drugs flowing into their country...
