Right! We have to wait for them to leave the country & “make it” in New York, LA, London or Paris before we will pay any attention to them and find them as interesting as the rest of the world does.
According to Strombo success in Canada doesn’t count for much.
So no surprise that The Hour only serves to re-enforce that view by fawning over Americans more than Canadians.
In an interview with the National Post, explaining what he would do if he were Mayor of Toronto …
“I’d address the city’s entertainment brain drain. I don’t understand why Canadian TV stations and Canadian radio have to program a minimum amount of CanCon, but movie theatres don’t have the same rules. CTV is a publicly traded company just like Cineplex. If we’re saying CanCon laws exist to protect Canadian culture, why aren’t we protecting Canadian-made films? The film industry feeds the television business and if we have homegrown film stars, it will help radio and TV. Also, it will encourage the next generation. The reason Toronto has had so much success with local bands like Metric and Broken Social Scene is because all of those bands from the ’90s — I Mother Earth, The Rheostatics, Blue Rodeo, Our Lady Peace — were played on the radio. Grow up listening to the band from around the corner on the radio, you think that you can do it, too. Actors from Toronto still only see their peers succeed in America.”

CBC Radio is boring because almost no content is made for it. There’s Ideas and some re-purposed stuff like The Debaters and The Vinyl Cafe but there is virtually no scripted entertainment. I wouldn’t say Canadian’s are boring so much as they are too cheap to pay for shows.
Allan, you suck so bad lately that you’re not even worth hating on.
