South Park In Canada

A reader writes:

Just a quick note re South Park in Canada.  While it frustrates me that Canada’s Comedy Network is not yet showing the new South Park episodes (if they follow the pattern of previous years, they won’t start airing them until October), they are currently re-showing the episodes from last season. Your Canadian readers might be interested to know that The Comedy Network (according to my digital receiver TV listings, online TV listings, and the Comedy Network website) is planning to re-air "Trapped In The Closet" on Friday (9:30 pm Eastern/Pacific).
They’ve been re-airing season 9 in order, and this is NOT the episode that should be airing next.  They’ve undoubtedly adjusted their schedule based on the events of the last couple of weeks.  (It’ll be interesting to see if their plans change in the next four days…)

Canada is now ahead of the U.S. in terms of free speech? Maybe Viacom and Tom Cruise don’t get to veto what TV viewers can watch there. My Sunday Times of London column on the cartoon wars can be read here.
