CBC: The Rick Mercer Report
It's fuuunnny! The bit he's doing with Harper is terific. Harper (stand-offish to the media) makes Rick (a "journalist") a sandwich and then has him stay overnight.

Harper reads Rick a bedtime 'story' (about campaign finance laws) and then tells Rick "When I have trouble getting to sleep, I count ridings." :rofl:

It's such a breath of fresh air to watch CBC.

9. This Hour has 22 minutes...
with Rick and Mary Walsh. the hilite years.

They infiltrated the bowels of Canadian government sanctuary to ridicule. (Marg Delahunty as Xena the princess warrior, etc.)
But the bowels took it all in stride, mostly.

that entrail you have now in the US would probably have them shot or in Gitmo or suffering in some way.
