U.S. TV Shows Exclude Canadians

I feel discriminated against every time I watch a U.S. based show, such as Survivor, the Mole, Millionaire etc., where participation is restricted to Americans only. I still watch because the shows are well done and provide great entertainment, but I feel like a sucker for doing so, as I am, in fact, subsidizing their continuing discrimination. I'm not sure what the solution is, however, here are a few suggestions.

Disallow advertising tax deductions for programs that prohibit Canadian participation.

Complain under NAFTA, this is a restraint on free trade.

Ban these shows from Canadian networks

Levy a special tax on the Canadian networks that show these shows, and use the money to finance a Canadian adventure/ reality series.

Complain to your M.P. and Sheila Copps.

Cheers

P.S.

I love your site.
