"Is Being Erica’s cancellation something we’ll end up regretting?" *My response to this is why do you "assume" it WILL be cancelled! I HOPE it won't! I LOVE Being Erica! I CANNOT wait until Season 2!!! =)

I'm watching it over in the UK through amazing internet methods. I think it's a bit shonky, and yeah infuriating, but I kind of love it. I'm not sure if they actually have come up with a proper overall arch though or are just stumbling through. It's kind of comfort watching!

And aside from the constant Toronto references, they also refer to Montreal as some exotic place with funny-accented people and bagel. :D

I share your frustration. "Garrrrrr!" is an opinion I've been voicing a lot on this subject, actually. But I disagree that it's a moot point. You *can* get a Kindle and Kindle books if you have a US credit card and shipping address. And once you have the Kindle, you can, I think, get a lot of stuff onto it with the help of the many websites that distribute DRM-free ebooks. If you have some minor file-reformatting skills, you can get lots more things onto it. You just can't use the neat whispernet thing.Amazon has officially announced that it'll make it available internationally, it just doesn't say when, and Kindle tech support verifies that there's a *lot* of interest from Canadians. Taking all that into account, I want somebody to tell me if the frustration of waiting for the neat wireless Kindle stuff to be available in Canada is worth it. Yup. That's what I want.

The newspaper at least wouldn't do a review of Sony Reader vs Amazon Kindle since it would be 1 sentence: Sony Reader you can get but Amazon Kindle you can't. Until Amazon decides to stop shutting out Canada the point is moot. You can thank that Canadian telecoms insist on gouging everyone that wants access to their network for the fact that Canada is becoming a technological third world.

Good work, Steve - you found the lady-on-lady action! It must be a superpower.

Now, can you please get somebody to do a comparative review of the Sony Reader and the Amazon Kindle for a tech-savvy, Canadian audience? In maybe the next week? C'mon, you're at the newspaper. You can make things happen.

Cancelling that show would effectively cut off state-sponsored therapy to hundreds of MA graduates working in call centres across the nation. Keep Being Erica (at least for two seasons)!

Actually, the Facebook outreach efforts of the show are ongoing. There are status updates before and after each episode
