Tube trends: Canadians vs Americans
ByALEXSlRACHAN
Canwest News Service
We Canadians are not the
same as they Americans.
There are similarities, sure,
but differences, too, as a sideby-side comparison of the
Top 20 TV programs - in
terms of average viewers per
episode - over the past seasOn shows.
Now that the final, official
figures are available from
both countries, it's fun to
play check-and-compare.
In the U.s., the top 5 shows
(in descending order) were
American Idol (performance
show), AmericanIdol (results
show), Dancing with the
Stars, NBC Sunday Night
Football and NCIS. In
Thi
B.C. Liberalgffj
use closure to
Canada, the top shows were
Survivor (both Samoa and
Heroes \'S. Villains), Grey's
Anatomy, Criminal Minds,
and American Idol (performance show), American
Idol (results show).
Personally, I'm comfortable to see Survivor: Heroes
vs. Villains (us) and
American Idol (them) get
their due. Reality TV often
dredges the very bottom of
the barrel, but when it's
good it can make for exciting. compelling TV; no matter what the naysayers say.
Crystal Bowersox, a Type
1 diabetic who had to beg
for insulin and was picked
on in school because she
came from a poor back-
ground, single-handedly
raised Idol to must-see status most weeks. If Idol is
about giving a total
unknown that elusive break,
this season's Idol did just
that, despite a growing feeling that the show is growing
past its prime.
And who, watching
Survivor: Heroesvs. Villains,
could forget the sight of
Russell Hantz dragging his
swag belly and flapping
gums across the sands of
Samoa, while he lied, cheated and stole his way to second place! (Or make that
third, if you want to get
picky about it) Good TV is
often about good vs. evil,
but there was no villain on
TV -not in any crime show,
or in any legal drama - that
could match Hantz for sheer,
outrageous villainy.
As for why Survivor consistently outpaces the competition in Canada - unlike
in the U.s., where it finished
a distant 14th overall- my
theory is that it has to do
with climate. In the long.
dark Canadian winter, we'd
much rather ogle the bikiniclad himbos and bimbos do
their thing in a tropical paradise somewhere than watch
C-list and D-list celebrities
do their Oydesdale act in
Dancing with the Stars.

VICTORrA - The B.C.
Liberals will put an end to
debate on the contentious
Clean Energy Act that has
upset aboriginals and the
Opposition
New
Democrats.
Liberal House Leader
Mil<e de Jong says the government will invoke closure
for the third time this session to ensure the act
becomes law by Thursday
evening, when this sitting
of the legislature is scheduled to end.
Opposition
New
Democrat House Leader
Mike Famworth says the
Liberals
are ramming
through a law that guts regulatory oversight of major
projects like the massive
Sit
I'
C dam in northeast B.C.
And nearly four dozen
individual B.c. FirstNations
and three aboriginal organizations have asked the gov'
ernment to delay passage of
the act, saying they fear
major dam, pipeline and
mine projects could go
ahead without consultation.
De Jong says the govemment gave the Opposition
ample time to fully debate
the Clean Energy Act, but
the New Democrats chose
to spend their time on other
issues, primarily the HST.
The Liberals also used
closure to end debate on the
harmonized sales tax.

He said continuing fighting would only prevent the withdraw,,! of international fortes

"Make pe·~ce with me and there will be no
need for foreigners here," Kanai said.
About HI minutes. into his speech, Karzai was
briefly interruptsd by an explosion Olltsid~,

Brazil beats Zimbabwe in first World Cup warmup
By ENOCK MUCHINJO
The Associated Press
HARARE, Zimbabwe - Brazil defeated Zimbabwe 3-0 in a World Cup warmup Wednesday thanks to goals from
M:ichel Bastos, Robinho and Elano.
An almost full-strength Brazil team
made a sloppy start at Harare's National
Sports Stadium but picked up the pace to
eam a comfortable victory with less than
two weeks to go before its World Cup
debut.
The five-time world champion suffered a SCaIe, though, with first-choice
goalkeeper Julio Cesar forced off injured
in the 26th minute. The ChaInpions
League winner with Inter :Milan left the
field walking and the exmnt of the injury
was not immediately known.
Left back Michel Bastos opened the
scoring with a powerful free kick in the
41st minute, winger Robinho added a
second from inside the penalty aIea in the
44th and midfielder Elano wrapped
things up from close range in the 56th.
It was Brazil's first warmup since
aIriving in Africa to begin its World Cup
preparations. It will face Tanzania in Dar
es SalaaIn on Sunday in its final match
before opening its campaign against
North Korea in Johannesburg June 15.
Brazil, weaIing a blue strip, made too
many passing errors eaIly on and encountered problems at the bad<. against 11 othranked Zimbabwe, which will not be
playing in the World Cup.
Brazil started with most of the players
expected to be in its first-choice lineup,
with the exception of defender Tbiago
Silva, who replaced Juan in central
defence. Brazil hadn't played since its
friendly win against Ireland in March. It
was its first match against Zimbabwe.

greater, and less than or equal to a 2.5% increase.

Saw sticl{S in pipe during effort to contain oil
Best chance at
stopping spew may
take two months
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
they will try to place a cap
on top of the oil spewing
out. This cut-and-cap effott
could temporarily increase
the flow of oil by as much
as 20 per cent, though Allen
said officials wouldn't know
whether that had happened
until the cut could be completed.
Engineers may have to
bring in a second saw if the
delay continues, and they
are shooting chemical dispersants at the oil leaking
out of the new cut.
Allen said once the cut is
made, crews will inspect it
and the cap could be placed
over the spill as early as
Wednesday..
The effort underwater
was going on as oil drifted close to northwestern
Florida's white sandbeaches
for the first time and investors ran from BP's stock for
a second day, reacting to the
company's failure to plug
the leak by shooting mud
and cement into the well,
known as the top kill.
The Justice Department
also has announced it started
criminal and civil probes into
the spill, although the department did not name specific
targets for prosecution.
Shares in British-based
BP PLC were down three per
cent Wednesday morning in
London trading after a 13
per cent fall the day before.
BP has iost $75 billion in
market value since the spill
started with an April 20 oil
rig explosion and analysts
expect damage claims to
total billions more.
In Florida, officials confirmed an oil sheen Tuesday
about 15 kilometres from
Pensacola beach, where the
summettourism season was
just getting started.
PORT FOURCHON, La.
- The risky effort to contain
the worst U.S. oil spill hit
a snag wednesday when a
diamond-edgedsawbecame
stuck in a thick pipe on a
blown-out well at the bottom ofthe Gulf of Mexico.

Overwaitea
fish policy
named best
OTTAWA - Major supermarket
chains, including B.C.'s Overwaitea, won unusual praise from Greenpeace onWednesdayfor starting to rid
their shelves of"destructivelyfished or
farmed" seafood.
In a report,Greenpeace ranked eight
major grocery chains on their efforts to
help improve the sustainability of the
seafood they buy and sell.
I! said that "following pressure by
environmental organizations and the
public;' retailers have started adopting
sustainabilitypolicies for their seafood
supply chains, and stopped selling up
to 15 "destructively fished or farmed"
species.
Thesespecies include dredgedAtlantic sea scallops and salmon from farms
said to contaminate the marine environment.
But more can be done to protect the
oceans, Greenpeace said.
"Supermarkets have stopped selling
imperilled species such as shark, skate
and bluefin tuna, which are not big
sellers;' said Beth Hunter, Greenpeace
oceans campaign co-ordinator.
"Now retailers need to focus on no
longer sellingfish that maybe consumerfavourites, but are still destructively
fished or farmed:
Overwaitea (which includes Save
On Foods), Loblaw, Safeway, Walmart, Metro, Sobeys, Federated Cooperatives and Costco - in this order
- were ranked from best to worst for
their efforts.
Costco received the lowest ranking
because it has not Indicated any plans
to discontinue to the sale ofunsustain·
able fish or develop a seafood policy.
Overwaiteareceived the highest overallscore becauseit stoppedsellingspecies at risk, started implementing a seafood policy and is actively promoting
sustainable seafood initiatives to customers and suppliers.

Man, 30, charged
CALGARY - The man accused ofstabbing and seriouslywounding anRCMP
officer in Calgary nowfaces attemptedmurder, assault and weapons charges.
Lee Christopher Monrose, 30, will
appear in court Friday on charges
linked to an attack on 53-year-old Sgt.
Andrew Jobnson.
Johnson, who was with the Alber[a Serious Incident Response Team,
was investigating a November 2009
police shooting in which Monrose was
shot in the head. It's alleged that Monrose wanted charges laid in the shooting.
Police say he then attacked Johnson with a knife, stabbing him severaltimes.
The officer is recovering in hospital.
