Debbie Does Nova Scotia, Eh?
Hey Hoser, Do We Still Get The Spice Channel, cuz no one asked my opinion, eh?
TORONTO (Reuters) – Canadians who may have become tired of being passed over as porn stars will have a new, home-grown outlet to showcase their erotic talents.
Federal regulators have granted Alberta-based Real Productions approval to launch a new digital pornography channel, which promises to serve up at least 50 percent domestic content.
The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved the Category 2 pay-television service on Wednesday, allowing Northern Peaks to become “Canada’s first adult video channel offering significant Canadian adult content.”
“I think as Canadians there is a bit of a tiredness in seeing all American stuff,” Shaun Donnelly, president of Real Productions, said during an interview on Friday.
“There is always that thrill for something that is local and you get the sense that these are people you can meet at the supermarket.”
The CRTC only required 15 percent Canadian content, but Northern Peaks agreed to provide “not less than 50 percent of the broadcast day and not less than 50 percent of the evening broadcast period to Canadian programming,” according to the license.
“We want to be Canada’s adult channel and I think to do that, 15 percent wouldn’t cut it,” Donnelly said.
Real Productions boasts the largest collection of Canadian adult-themed content in the country with more than 200 film titles and 75 television episodes in its library.
Talk about a way to improve/restore the morale and pride of an entire country! Let them bang on TV! Is there a reason that more pornstars aren’t from our neighbors above us? From what I hear, they have the best strip clubs around. There’s got to be some kind of Canadian Skin Flick Talent pool?
My favorite part of the article is that the guy seriously feels that Pornstars are people you can meet at the Supermarket. How does THAT happen? What, is there a PornActorsGuild Meeting in the bread aisle? That’d give a a whole new meaning to “Clean up on aisle 7!”

Actually, it’s the dairy aisle. We like to keep things festive with little party hats and samples of cheeses.
