(noun) Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is Canada'a national public TV and radio broadcaster, and receives much of its funding from the government (the rest from ads). It is not, however, controlled by the government; it is actually quite critical of those in power.
It helps to promote Canadian identity by broadcasting Canadian movies and television shows. CBC has a network of TV and radio stations, as well as news bureaus, in French and in English, across the country -- often located in small towns that private broadcasters refuse to service because they can't make a profit there.
The CBC has had its parliamentary appropriation funding cut substantially in recent years. Consequently, it has cut down its news service substantially.
Private broadcasters in Canada tend to show American content; the CBC tries to prevent that American influx of content.
Interestingly, it's most popular weekly show is Hockey Night in Canada.

Get the barely legal mug.A type of hard rock band from the 1980s made up of musicians who wore strange leather clothing, ripped jeans, and had tall blowdried womanly hair (often blond). These bands played hard rocking music with fast guitar solos, but also sang love ballads. Hairband music was heavy but it was produced with such a glossy sheen that it wasn't too hard on the ears. Hairbands died around 1990, and some would say they ere killed by Kurt Cobain and grunge.

Get the hairband mug.Nickname for the city of Hamilton, Ontario. Given for the steel making plants located on the shores of Hamilton harbour. Those plants belch so much soot and crap that Hamilton harbour is a cesspool of filth. It also causes Hamiltonians to look like ugly bastards, and grow up brain damaged.
