In Canada, we have what was once a boring, government-funded channel called the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), but in the last year, I've seen this channel completely rethink its programming and now it holds some of my favorite programs like The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos, a great news show that is funny and informative; and Underdogs, a show that helps the little guy get justice from the big companies that screw them over.

Further proving to me that this channel has chosen the path of coolness, last night I found a documentary about video games that rather impressed me. Recently shot within the last year, the documentary covers how video game are becoming a type of media that is finding its way into our day to day lives and is affecting everything from sports to social issues to military combat.
