CRTC action spurs private satellite growth in Dryden Ontario
The CRTC pressured Dryden Community Television Limited to drop U S signals from Atlanta and Chicago and ESPN, risking licence loss and fines. The ruling paradoxically boosted private dish use as satellites multiply in Dryden, with two sales firms starting up and self selling by the cable operator. Canadian signals remain CBC and TV Ontario. Cancom limits U S access while unscrambled U S superstations lure viewers. The move prompts a shift toward foreign programming over Canadian content in the area.

Peter Warren quotes McClusky Canal fish study on Manitoba waters
Garrison relays a United States Bureau of Reclamation report titled McClusky Canal Fish Screen Development and Verification. The document refutes Manitoba claims that dirty fish from the Missouri River would contaminate Canadian waterways, noting not a single Utah chub or gizzard shad found in four years of study. It supports a 70 percent effective fish screen and lists Missouri River species now thriving in Manitoba waters.
