So if I get this right, the writer wants Canadian comedy to be more like American comedy? I see Canada as being a different country with thank God, different humor. I cannot tell you how sick I am of watching Saturday night live lampoon Donald Trump over and over and over again - it's like they have run out of writing and / or acting talent over there so they keep doing the same old shtick until someone wakes up an notices that there is nothing funny about it anymore. It is like water torture. The writer would probably say that the famed British humor should also reflect American values and good all in with "biting" humor - whatever that is. I always thought that comedy was supposed to be you know, funny. We get more than enough political garbage on TV 24/7. We don't need to act or want to act like the Americans who's culture is in such decline. The writer should move to the US.
