Free preview of CBC premium channels until April 29th

docbold.jpgFrom now until April 29th, CBC is offering free previews on two of it’s newest premium channels.

The Documentary Channel, which has been around for a few years now but was recently purchased by the CBC, showcases a number of top quality documentary films as well as shows discussing issues affecting our society. Right now the channel is featuring The Devil Came on Horseback, a great doc on the crisis in Darfur. Well worth checking out if you have the time to catch it. The CBC has nailed down a deal with the US documentary Sundance channel, so expect to see a good number of award-winning docs in the near future.

The other channel, Bold, is a rebranding of CBC Country Canada. It will feature a selection of programming comparable with that on PBS. Shows like Live From Abbey Road, the Cirque Du Soliel program Kooza, and a number of CBC Radio shows being re-imagined for television will be prominently featured. Call your local service provider to find out channel numbers.

Great Canadiana: Peter Puck

This video was embedded using the YouTuber plugin by Roy Tanck. Adobe Flash Player is required to view the video.

If you watched Hockey Night in Canada anytime in the 1970’s, chances are you’re intimately familiar with the one they call Peter Puck. A joint collaboration between the NHL and Hanna-Barbera Studios, Mr. Puck was an animated fellow who taught kids (and Americans on NBC Game of the Week) the basic principles of the game. Check out the video above for the very first episode of Peter Puck, “How to Play the Game.”

If you’re an old school fan of the Puck or just looking to teach your kids the finer points of hockey, the complete Peter Puck collection is available on DVD. It runs about 30 minutes, which explains why you can pick it up on Chapters.ca for only $12.99. Don’t forget to make your Chapters purchases through the SmartCanucks CashBack program to save even more!

Bullfrog Power: “Taxing our Guilt”

mrG left a a very interesting comment on the Nelly Furtado Earth Hour concert which is sponsored by Bullfrog Power. I think he raises a very important point and we shouldn’t be blindedly falling for everything that claims to be “Green”.

This is so … wrong. It just is and I can illustrate a sliver of the wrongness of it with a numerical example:

The sponsors are Bullfrog, who admirably bill themselves as “green, carbon-free power” which they are, and I think that is great, but read the fine print! What they say they do for us is this: “don’t need any special equipment or wiring and there is no change in the reliability of your service. We inject green power onto the Ontario grid to match the amount of power your home uses. You have the comfort of knowing that your electricity dollars are supporting clean, renewable power instead of polluting and carbon-intensive sources like coal. It’s that simple.”

But is it that simple? You see, what they describe is absurd. They are not going to measure my meter and go “Oh, hey better turn up the windmill another notch, some guy in Sauble Beach is using a bit more power today!” No, they have their generators, all very green, and the law of Ontario says Ontario Power must pay ‘market rates’ for any energy added to the grid. So Bullfrog hooks up their windmills, and the money flows in.

But dig the line “Bullfrog Power does cost a little more than regular electricity” … ah, you see? Ontario Power will pay them X dollars per kilowatt-hour but you and I can get suckered into paying them X dollars plus a bit for those same kilowatt-hours, duped by our own noble good nature in wanting to help. They already have the windmills and generators, they had investors and boards of directors and business plans and it all made sense because they had the guarantee of market rates for their green power. But they figured out a way to get a government-subsidy … by taxing our guilt.

Clever lads. But is it ethical? I mean, I’d love to dump nuclear power and would do it in a minute if I believed their story, but dig, they’ve already lied to me and I’m not even a customer yet!
