Canada Day from Hollywood?

Friends of Canadian Broadcasting spokesperson Ian Morrison is bashing the CBC over foreign content in prime time.

"There was an excuse during the NHL lockout to run Hollywood movies, because they desperately needed to balance their budget when there was no hockey around, but now the trend is continuing," said Ian Morrison, spokesperson for the media watchdog.

"Nine and a half hours of foreign programming out of 28 (are airing) for the national public broadcaster, and the week before Canada Day? Come on."

Personally I think it would be nice to see more Canadian content on the National public broadcaster. Especially right before Canada Day. But, that's just me.
