- Radio-Canada/RDI
- TVA/LCN
- CBC/Newsworld
- Global
- City
- CTV NewsNet
- CPAC
Networks covering the Prime Minister’s address and bailing on Dion because his party couldn’t get its taped response out in under a half hour:
- CTV (which showed Hollywood gossip show eTalk instead)
Networks who consider a prime ministerial address and a change in government insufficiently important to suspend crappy regular 7pm programming:
- TQS
- Télé-Québec
- Sun TV
Networks who went the extra mile and covered a news conference by Bloc leader Gilles Duceppe:
- Radio-Canada/RDI
- TVA/LCN
- CBC Newsworld
- CTV Newsnet
- CPAC

- TVA/LCN
- CBC Newsworld
- CTV Newsnet

All suntv is show bad tv
Heck, I even heard it live on CJAD.
In fairness to TQS and Télé-Québec, do they even have an Ottawa political bureau? Can they afford one?
