This issue is getting so out of hand, and sorry if this has been posted again and again but I gotta vent! Last week I try to catch the race on TV, and find out that, in addition to not allowing any more races take place IN Canada, they wont even show the event on Canadian TV stations! They wont show any of them. I can catch it on some American TV stations, but it just makes it that much harder to actually watch a race now, with my work schedule. Anyone else in Canada feel that they are taking this way too far? OK, sure, No Smoking Advertisements in Canada is the law, and as stupid as not allowing Cart and Formula 1 to race on 2 days out of the entire year is, I somewhat respect their decision to uphold the law and stand by it. However, to not show it on TV? Thats rediculous, especially when they have no problem in showing people actually smoking cigarettes on Canadian Broadcasting Stations.

Well there it is. I had to release that! I feel much better now.
