  • Canadian Humour
    Canadian humour Canadian humour is an integral part of the Canadian Identity. There are several traditions in Canadian humour in both English and French. While these traditions are distinct and at times very different, there are common themes that relate to Canadians' shared history and geopolitical situation in North America and the world. Various trends can be noted in Canadian comedy. One thread is the portrayal of a "typical" Canadian family in an on-going radio or television series. Examples include La famille Plouffe, with its mix of drama, humour, politics and religion and sitcoms such as King of Kensington and La Petite Vie. Another major thread tends to be political and cultural satire: television shows such as CODCO, Royal Canadian Air Farce, La Fin du monde est à 7 heures and This Hour Has 22 Minutes, monologuists such as Yvon Deschamps and Rick Mercer and writers, including Michel Tremblay, Will Ferguson and Eric Nicol draw their inspiration from Canadian and Québécois society and politics. Another trend revels in absurdity, demonstrated by television series like The Kids in the Hall and The Frantics, and musician-comedians such as The Arrogant Worms, Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie and Bowser and Blue. Satire is arguably the primary characteristic of Canadian humour, evident in each of these threads, and uniting various genres and regional cultural differences. Humber College in Toronto and the École nationale de l'humour in Montreal offer post-secondary programmes in comedy writing and performance. Montreal is also home to the bilingual (English and French) Just For Laughs festival and to the Just for Laughs museum, a bilingual, international museum of comedy.

  • CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL ONTARIO REGIONAL COUNCIL CITY-TV Re “Ed the Sock” Promotional Spots (CBSC Decision 94/9
    CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL ONTARIO REGIONAL COUNCIL CITY-TV re “Ed the Sock” Promotional Spots (CBSC Decision 94/95-0100) Decided August 23, 1995 M. Barrie (Chair), P. Fockler, T. Gupta, A. MacKay, R. Stanbury ____________________________________________________________ THE FACTS During its broadcast of the feature film, “Star Trek Voyager”, on January 16, 1995, CITY-TV (Toronto) included three promotional spots for a program entitled, “Ed’s Night Party”. The five-second spots featured a puppet, Ed the Sock, commenting on the film aired that evening. In the first spot, the sock puppet said, When I made this outfit I didn’t realize I wouldn’t be able to reach my communicator pin unless I got really excited. The on-screen message accompanying the promotional spot read “Ed’s Night Party debuts February 10.” In the second spot, the character said, to background theme music of the “Star Trek” series, A recent survey proved that Trekkies enjoy a very full and active sex life. They’d enjoy it even more if they had a partner. In the third spot, the character said, Anybody know where they keep the beer on this ship? Anybody? Anybody know where the commissary is? Hello! The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC) received a complaint, dated January 27, 1995, regarding the spots. According to the viewer, City TV has been promoting a new programme starring Ed the Sock, and showcased at least two promotional advertisements during the premiere movie, Star Trek - Voyager. In one ad, Ed the Sock, a cigar-chomping sock puppet dressed in a Star Trek uniform announces, “Star Trek fans have great sex lives; too bad they have no partners.” In another, the sock which has no arms complains that the only way he can scratch an itch is if he gets excited.
