I too am very close to turfing the TV set.
Turfed my cable TV many years ago...still have the old TV for video games and and playing DVD's...I honestly do not miss it, and I found I accomplished a lot more in my day, and, usually it was fun stuff I had let slide away over the years.
I think they should have a reality show about those in this country on unemployment insurance, or pogey, as we used to call it.
They could call it
"The Canadian Idle".
