Word on the Alaska thing, too - I'm kind of trepidacious about moving back, because while I bitch and moan about how I can't get indepth political news up here (except online), I'm nervous going back to the meatgrinder.
You're moving back? My condolences Move to New England! We're most like Canada, social values-wise, or so says Michael Adams.
I've found pretty decent political news on CBC, namely Politics. I've found other places, too, i.e. apparently there's this, which looks sort of like the Canadian version of C-SPAN, and also Talk Politics. That's all online, yes, but it's also on television, at least in the case of the two political shows.
The only problem with living in RI and watching such dorkfests is I have nobody to rant and/or gush at. There's just nobody around who'd be interested in knowing what I think about the possibility of yet another Québec election or whether their Liberal Finance Minister is a staunch patriot or is just being stubborn.
Oh, and I wanted to tell you how much I'm liking reading the Barlow book. Okay, it's a bit alarmist, but I think maybe people need to be alarmed. And the sources cited are pretty Google-able. Of course, I hated NAFTA going in, but um. Yeah.
