A governing body in Canada that is supposed to regulate the telecommunication and broadcasting sector of the country, including TV, Internet, and phone (landline and mobile).

Unfortunately, by approving everything that reinforces the stronghold three company oligopoly (Bell, Telus, Rogers), and blocking off as much outside competition (domestic and international) as possible by means of many anti competitive policies that fall under protectionism, the CRTC's effort of protecting the rights of the consumers has proved to be lacking.

The CRTC is a Canadian Government Organization that makes laws about the internet without understanding it. They also have an irrational fear of Canadians being allowed to watch the real HBO.
Hey, I thought you said your internet was fast? Ya, during the hours of 0300-0400, feel that speed! That's the CRTC for ya.

Canada's own version of a dictatorship. The CRTC dictates what every Canadian can or cannot do/watch on the internet. In recent years, I've heard they are even making efforts to filter out content that isn't "Canadian" enough. Basically, the CRTC is the oppressor and the average Canadian citizen is the oppressed.

Friend 2: No I can't because of the goddamn CRTC!

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
