It appears that the axe has fallen and CBC has cancelled some of it’s (at least in my opinion) best series. Judging from comments and articles at various sites, it seems that I’m not the only disappointed viewer out there either.
Loss of Intelligence
As I had eluded to in an earlier post, CBC has cut [...]
I’ve previously blogged about my fondness for the TV show Intelligence and after the great season finale in December, I now have a free block of time on Monday nights.

Last Friday, Justice Peter Glennie delivered his verdict on the injunction request by Brunswick News against its former Woodstock Bugle-Observer publisher William Kenneth Langdon and the Carleton Free Press.
The most controversial portion of the requested injunction which asked for a [...]

As I have previously mentioned, one of my favourite shows on TV (of which there are very few) is Intelligence which plays on CBC. After some rumours at the end of last season that the series might not be renewed, I was glad to see it back on the tube last night. I [...]

This article (Wikipedia and the Intelligence Services - OhmyNews International) describes signs that suggest intelligence agencies may be placing mis-information on Wikipedia and it also has a bit of a historical perspective on previous mis-information [...]
It looks like at least one television station (or at least program) is getting it….
