No, sorry, it was supposed to be a joke, but I guess the
referrence was too obscure. The Canadian government limits
the amount of U.S. programming that local cable networks
may carry - in an effort to combat the corrupting influence
of American culture - and so more and more Canadians are
putting up illegal satellite dishes to get American T.V.
One website claims that there are as many illegal as legal
dishes set up in Canada now.

Google "illegal satellite dishes" with "Canadians", "U.S.",
and "culture" for more information.

I have long had a fascination with Canada. :^)
