I really wouldn't worry about that. If "The National" is any indication of prime time news, then there's no way anything resembling Fox News will ever fly up there. Hell, one of your most popular shows is about muslims in saskatchewan. Nothing to worry about.

Then how are you currently watching it? You have such strong opinions about Fox News...surely you're not forming those opinions based on heavily edited snippets from questionable sources??

Don't you trust your fellow Canadians to decide what they want to watch or do they need a nanny's help and guidance.

Interesting, my former cable provider added new channels upon occasion and I did not have to pay a single penny extra at the end of the month.. I dropped my cable TV for unrelated reasons, however.

I did not know Canadian cable companies charged by the channel..
