text: Sharp satire in Canada? What would Stephen Colbert have to ridicule if he was in Canada? There is so little news in Canada that the CBC news is forced to recycle old documentaries to fill the time. The Canadian icon is Anne of Green Gables, so Rick Mercer, 22 Minutes, Kim's Convenience and Corner gas all fit this kinder, gentler nation. We have serious warts, but who is going to satirize missing Native women, residential schools, city shootings and such? Rick Mercer is fine with me - it shows me part of  Canada I don't know, and I feel better for it. No need for fake attack dogs here!
