Pennies are Canadian currency. So if that is all one has, they should be allowed to pay for something with them, no matter how much it is. That law is stupid. Along with these others. I would like to know who it is that can’t sleep at night and makes these things up. Let alone the ones that pass them. For Pete sake, there are sleeping pills out now. Take a couple and quit this embarrassing us.

Ya makes you laugh doesn’t it? Can only picture wot these stooges must have looked like that came up with these brain dead laws, and the one that i think is actually taking away some of our rites as in freedom to choose is having to listen to a canadian song played every third one. Most canadian songs recorded today suck anyways, but having to hear the ones that wudnt get air play if it wasnt for this law makes it even worse.

Thx for listening, and ya I am Canadian to cheers!

I have no idea about the paying in change thing.

And, speaking of CanCon, I read this a few days ago:

There are a hell of a lot of Canadian bands that aren’t Celine Dion. The law is in place so our media doesn’t become over saturated with American material.

Also, I’m fairly certain that the pennies law exists in the US as well. Mama Cass once tried to pay the IRS her extensive amounts of back-taxes she owed by sending them a dump truck full of pennies. They basically took 25 cents of it and said “Okay, you still owe us $xxxxxx.75″

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin’ out maxin’ relaxin’ all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said ‘You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air’

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, ‘I might as well kick it’.

First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.

But wait I hear there’re prissy, wine all that
Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?
I don’t think sow
I’ll see when I get there
I hope they’re prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain’t trying to get arrested
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought ‘Now forget it’ - ‘Yo homes to Bel Air’

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie ‘Yo homes smell ya later’
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
