Canadian Media Priorities

I'm not sure the monstrous difference in scale between Canadian and American news and politics can be any better illustrated than through tonight's CTV news broadcast. Sure, they ran some footage of Obama's speech in front of what appeared to be most of the state of Colorado (side note: that part about ending foreign oil dependence in 10 years was both gutsy and kickass), but they ran it immediately AFTER a hard-hitting investigative piece on, uh... Toronto's new diagonal crosswalk at Yonge and Dundas.

In their defence, it is a pretty cool crosswalk.
