That being said, being the American-in-Vancouver that I am I can say that I watch The Daily Show and Colbert every night on CTV. How conservative could they be broadcasting these two?

Ditto what Jymn said. My Canadian (Winnipeg) friend’s exact words about CTV and this story were:

Thanks Jymn, appreciate it. Definitely puts the update in a much clearer context.
