The NFL is turning up the heat on the government in an attempt to reverse a CRTC decision to have the Super Bowl run complete with American ads on Canadian television screens.
The CRTC action is being appealed through a court challenge by Bell Media, the rights-holder for Super Bowl coverage in Canada.
Note that the original decision by the CRTC was made while the Harper regime was still in office.
The current PMO has supposedly replied to the NFL by saying that the CRTC is independent of government.
