Techies: 'Fraid not. You're trying to #have your #cake, and #eat it too.

#Canadian #Legacy #Media: We don't get it. How do you eat your cake if you don't have it?

Techies: You didn't take any history classes, did you?

CLM: Why would we need those?

Techies: Anyways... as long as C-18 is in effect, you won't get any traffic or exposure.

CLM: That sucks! Fix it!

Techies: I give up.

#Canadian #Legacy #Media: Hey, why are you calling us legacy media?

Techies: Well, you're the old media interests. #Newspapers, commercial #TV, maybe a bit of #radio if there's any of that left.

CLM: Uh... ya, that's us, the media.

Techies: No, you're just part of the Canadian media landscape.

CLM: ... Part of?

Techies: Yes. A small part.

CLM: But we're the media!

Techies: Oh, brother. It's gonna be *that* kind of day.
