It comes on a public broadcasting station for me.
Here's a link to their website, and here is a link to the documentary I was talking about. I guess it's a US thing, which is too bad, because you're missing out on some good stuff.

They had to call the Nova something else in Spain, in Spanish it means "no go". Not far from the truth there, as they are appaling little shopping tolleys originally much loved by grannies, bu now tarted up by chavs to be full on PMC's.

Yea. Canada and the US are the same, Canadians know this but many Americans don't

We speak American
We have malls
We eat burgers
We drive American cars
We sue people
We get American channels on our TVs

Canada and the US aren't the same, just close (borders and some behaviors).
One of my relatives and his wife moved to Canada with their kids, but moved back here when he found a job in the US.
