Re. Dawna Friesen
Is it me or does Dawna Friesen come off really pretentious in those Global National ads?

Re. George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight
I have to be honest. I'm not liking the new name
"George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight" = Generic and lame.
Seriously, what's so bad about "The Hour?"

Save Radio 3
Like many other Canadian media outlets, the CBC is not immune to the troubling economy/recession. The public broadcaster recently announced that it can no longer afford all of its programming and is looking to see what assets they can get rid of in order to stay financially afloat. One item that may get cut is Radio 3.
There are many products the CBC can do without, but Radio 3 IS NOT one of them.
Radio 3 provides an outlet for Canada's best musicians. It proves that Canadian music doesn't revolve around Nickelback, BNL, the Tragically Hip, Bryan Adams and Celine Dion. Without Radio 3, we would never hear Teegan and Sara, the Arcade Fire, Wintersleep, Buck 65, Broken Social Scene, etc. Best of all, Radio 3 is about music and not advertising revenue. You'll never have to deal with mechanical DJs or a uniformed style. You will hear creativity at its finest.
The only way Radio 3 can be saved is if we all make some noise. Justin Beach has set up an online petition, as well as an ongoing Facebook event. If you care about Canadian music, then please sign the petition and tell everyone about it.

Facebook Tally
Here is some information you can share at the dinner table, at a party, or when you are trying to impress the opposite/same sex.
Let's begin:
- There are 236 Facebook groups related to Stephen Harper. Some groups support the Prime Minister. Others are against him. My favourite group is, "Give Harper Time To Write His Book About Hockey."
- There are 13 groups related to Erik Bedard. Three of the 13 groups want Bedard to win the Cy Young award. He has a shot, but Josh Beckett and Roy Halladay are definitely in front of him.
- There are only two groups dedicated to Buck 65. That does not seem fair.
- There is a group related to the Arcade Fire with almost 2400 members.
- There is a group dedicated to Global's Leslie Roberts. It's called "Leslie Roberts is a DILF Fan Club." No, I am not kidding. Here's the group's description: "Leslie Roberts is a pimp, in the sexy sort of way.... I mean, just look at what his seed created!!! From his dashing good looks (emphasized by his sea-blue eyes), incredible sense of style (supplied by Global CanWest Media) to his poise and articulation on the news to even his 'silly laugh' and soulful voice singing "sexyback" by Justin Timberlake."
- There are no groups specifically for Olivia Chow. However, her husband is the subject of 64 groups.
- There is a group called "Friends of Relic From The Beachcombers." It has 85 members.
- The "Jenny Gear Fan Club" only has six members. Ouch.
- There are four groups dedicated to Danger Bay. One group wants the series remade.
- Finally, PublicBroadcasting.ca has a Facebook group. You should go join that.
