Over the past few years, Canadian television has really kicked things up a notch. The ball got rolling with Corner Gas, and since then people have been keeping a closer eye on homegrown TV. Everything from Little Mosque on the Prarie to Billable Hours has developed a surprisingly large audience. So what tricks does CBC, Canada’s largest and oldest network have in store for us this year?

Nothing. Nada. Bupkiss. The only changes in the fall line-up will include the addition of Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Two CBC mini-series — Celine, the story of the Quebec chanteuse, and Everest, the tale of a 1982 attempt on the world’s highest peak by a Canadian team — will be popping up this year as well.

It may seem like a surprisingly negative turn for the network, but if you really think about it this may be a good thing. No new shows means that old shows are still performing quite well. CBC originals like The Border and Dragon’s Den, exclusive imports like Doctor Who and The Tudors, old favorites like The Nature of Things and the Rick Mercer Report — they’re all doing well enough to leave on the air. If their ratings were low they’d surely be switched out with something else.

Considering the major US networks will only be offering 16 new shows between them, it looks like 2008 is going to be the year of the established series. Anybody out there looking forward to anything this fall? Personally I’m frothing at the mouth for the US version of Life on Mars. The BBC original is in my top 5 all time shows, so I’m dying to see what they’ll do with it.

I was browsing through the CBC Digital Archives this morning like a good Canadian nerd should, and I came across something a little bit bigger than myself: the atomic bomb.

Cold War Culture: The Nuclear Fear of the 1950’s and 1960’s offers a great sampling of original CBC programming from half a century past, all of it detailing the Canadian reaction and happenings surrounding an event that cast a shadow across the world for more than 50 years, all of it for free.

Every so often Ricki’s ( A woman’s clothing store) has a fashion and friend’s event where you save an extra 20% on a certain day, the next upcoming event is Sunday August 24th.

Don’t have a card? You can sign up that day in store just ask! Or you can sign up online by clicking here!

It also has other perks such as around your birthday each year they will send you a $10 dollar gift card as long as you spend at least $25 dollars!

I personally love Rickis, they carry sizes 0-18, have great styles, great sales, great workers and did I mention the great sales? I’ve walked out of there many times with 5 pairs of Jeans for 50 dollars, regular retail of over 250! They also have a great return policy where ”no sale is ever final!”

Maybe I’ll see you there! I’ll be the one with 2 stacks of clothes 😉

There are only three things in this world that are truly global — war, religion, and McDonald’s.

Ok, ok — I admit, the word “business” probably would have been a little more apt than McDonald’s, but it’s still pretty accurate.  One can’t help but raise the question: are the global nature of war, religion and business inextricably connected?

Thomas Friedman seems to think so.  In his book The Lexus and The Olive Tree, Friedman offers up this bizarre little tidbit: no two countries have gone to war with each other after acquiring McDonald’s franchises.

So why do I bring this up now?  Georgia had to go and wreck Friedman’s theory this past weekend by declaring war on Russia.  Now where’s a brother supposed to go for a Big Mac in the Eastern Bloc?

Well, to the winners, obviously.  But what about after that?  What about all the money spent on losing tickets that doesn’t go back out to repay the winners? 

The Ontario Lottery Gaming Corporation website has a top-level (and therefore, kinda vague) rundown of where that money ends up;

Every day, Ontario residents gain both directly and indirectly from OLG activities. By creating jobs, stimulating tourism and supporting hospitals, charity groups and cultural and recreational services, OLG is fulfilling its mandate to maximize economic benefits for the people of Ontario.

Since 1975, OLG lotteries, Casinos, Slots, and Resort Casinos have generated more than $23 billion for the benefit of the Province of Ontario. Gaming proceeds support Ontario’s hospitals, amateur sport, recreational and cultural activities, communities, provincial priority programs such as health care and education, and local and provincial charities and non-profit organizations through the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

2% of the annual gross revenue from slot machines at OLG Casinos and Slots has been allocated to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care for problem gambling research, treatment, prevention, and public awareness. This is more than any jurisdiction in North America.

So there you have it — hospitals, education, NPO’s — it looks like buying a losing ticket can still make you a winner.  Now if only we could use it as a charitable donation on our T1’s.  😉
