Oh, I don't doubt that was how it worked with Close Captioning, JACK.
Still it was very informative.
I've known for a while about the different regions and thank you for explaining some of the whys of that.

Weather is still dry here but a slight possibility of some rain on Wednesday.

One bookcase almost finished organizing. Just started working on my Star Trek books, original crew. Some of those I haven't read yet.

I think that is probably how it went in the 80's and 90's. I doubt very much that Canada had any pull with how TV sets were made. It's possible that Canada followed suit and passed the same laws at a later date, but that was really just to ensure compliance with Canadian (French and English) broadcasters. The TVs themselves were already compliant because of the US laws that had already passed requiring that the TV sets for NTSC supported closed captioning.
That being said, it looks as though Canada isn't dropping the issue. If you're going to see CC make it into the new technology, Canada might be at the forefront of making that happen in the 2020's.

Surgery is over, been back home for 8 hours and feeling OK-ish. Nose is still bleeding, I going to be a "mouth breather" tonight because I think I'm going to pack my nose with gauze. NOTE TO SELF: don't reach down for anything, and sleep with head elevated!

Mouth breather, you say?
You're in good company here.
Get some rest. What are you still doing up???
1:00AM here and it's 68 degrees on the second floor; 61 degrees outside. 5 degree drop since I turned it on at 8:30.
I'm still going to have that on for another 7 or so hours before it gets turned off. Might make it below my projected 66 if I'm lucky. Got about 4 hours where it's actually supposed to go as low as 60, so I might get the house to 64 before the windows get shut. :)
I'm looking forward to seeing how this system works when we have more typical weather for the season that's starting up again in the next few days.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

I doubt that Canada did.
Read one of the articles and I think the CRTC is doing a good job in making sure things are up to speck. I know I can use CC on any program if I so desire to and that would include any French Canadian programing as well.
I hope Canada is.

I mouth breath when my allergies get bad.
Not even midnight where I am. And the skies are clear of clouds and rain.

Too uncomfortable to sleep.
Glad your blower is working to bring in cool air!!
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are all expected to be in the low 90s. After a very cool, rainy and extended spring, summer is definitely upon us! But of course our humidity isn't usually very high. Anyway, gardening is out of the question for at least a week (or two) which is why I was so hot to get so much done; and I'm limited from lifting more than 10 lbs for two weeks so I guess I'll be doing small stuff in the house.
I'll check my "to do" list, I know that I have some financial stuff to attend to and should probably get dear daughter in some official therapy and such, so ...
