Canadian TV 'crap': Alberta culture minister
Alberta Culture Minister Lindsay Blackett was backpedalling Wednesday after his disparaging comments about the quality of Canadian television sparked an outcry.
Blackett was listening to a panel discussion at the Banff World Television Festival on Monday when he made the remarks in a question and answer session.
"I sit here as a government representative for film and television in the province of Alberta and I look at what we produce, and if we're honest with ourselves … I look at it and say, 'Why do I produce so much shit? Why do I fund so much crap?'" Blackett told the panel, to ripples of laughter.

Maybe if you ate more vegetables, Minister?

Oh, and CG's headline is true, too. :)

90% of everything is shit.
The alternative to the production of bad things isn't necessarily the production of good things. It could very well be mere passive consumption.

Maybe you should look into what a 40 year veteran of Canadian film, radio and TV industry has to say:

And take a look at his other posts, for they are...Legion.

I agree with Blackett :( So much is unnecassirily bad... and there's very little that's "so good" it makes the bad forgettable, that's the sad part
