I thought "So Montreal" was annoying. "Totally Toronto" is not only using a noun as an adjective, it's unnecessarily alliterative too! I imagine it must be totally annoying to keep hearing that phrase. Why don't they just come up with original (and grammatically correct) slogans for the different CBC regional stations?

Like here: "So Nova Scotia." We can stream and timeshift, people, so we can spot faux regionalism a lot easier now. I guess this is no longer relevant to the original post, so let me add that I loved having the opportunity to read these comments. Anything that gets people so worked up has to be fairly close to their hearts. Especially when they use the same promo in other parts of the country.

I have a problem with CBC Montreal always using that nauseating phrase, "So Montreal." The word "Montreal" is not an adjective. I wish they would stop using it as such.

The headline read "Half of Western Canadians Dying in Hospital". Thankfully, someone changed it to read "Western Canadians' end-of-life wishes not fulfilled: study" which makes a lot more sense. Silly headlines always make me smile. The best one I ever saw (sorry CBC, it wasn't you) was "Low Altitude Played Major Role In Plane Crash: Expert Says".

Please lengthen it. Please make Just for Laughs Gags funnier. Montreal news anchor Michel Godbout shouldn't wear brown with pin stripes. Strombo's hands are too far down his pockets. It looks pervy. Also, please make him comb his hair.
