In the news: Canadian spin-offs ’shameful’

From The Gateway (the student newspaper of the University of Alberta):

  • Deal me out, Canada

Canadian entertainment industries may not have the capital to produce first-rate shows, but re-branding American atrocities to give “the little guy,” a chance to strike it rich or gain national fame for six months isn’t something we should be proud of.”
