I just got in from shovelling my aunt's driveway and I swear snow was up to my theighs. It's been snowing now for almost 36 hours, and especially much more abundent in the last six hours. But this is Canada right, this is a country known for it's snow. What bothers me is the constant media attention to the fact that it is snowing. It's winter, it's supposed to snow! And we're supposed to have a lot of it!
Sorry for the sarcasum, but the news here is all over this 'story'. You come to expect this type of weather, or even worse weather, living here. I certainly know we've had worse. We know how to handle living and interacting with snow, if you live here you grow up with it.
What I'm getting at is that I'm just sick of the attention the snow is getting, it's just another example of the news media going overboard because if the news isn't talking for twenty minutes about a story that only needed maybe two minutes of exposure then it's just instilling more fear into a country that is a safe place to live. What even bothers me more is that on Global news the snow got first billing while the sotry of a Canadian soldier in Kabul was murdered today by a suicide bomber was on halfway through the show. I don't know what to make of Canadian media because it's starting to get as sensational as American news, and maybe that sells here, but for me it only makes me sick. Let's just get to the point, explain it and get out of it.
