thanks johan.  I really was going on memory, so I'll trust your information over
mine.  All I can really go on at this point in thank goodness for canadian
socialism.  We get raped with blank media fees, but at least we can actually
consider media that we purchase as 'owned', which is good considering that all
the advertising says "own it today".  I think this could be a big class action
if we took this and interpreted it based on US laws.

sad thing is, this is only the beginning for a group of people who obviously
feel some lack of value in their lives.

canadian beef unsafe???? give me a freaking break
