Don't want to contradict anyone about history, but the constitutional change of
1982 was merely cosmetic: bringing the power to amend the constitution in
the hands of the Canadian parliament alone. In practice, Canada had been
a fully sovereing state since the Westminster Statute of 1931, and on the
other hand, the Sovereing of Great Britain (currently Queen Elizateth II) remains
the Canadian Head of State.
Regarding private TV (and Radio) in Canada, those have long existed, with
the rather stiff regulatory framework already mentioned, and with in particular
a rule that forbids majority foreing ownership. This may sound funny, but
on the other hand I don't think any major U.S. broadcaster has significant
foreing ownership either. Regards.
