One needs to remember that 80% of Canada's population is within 120 miles of
the U.S. border, and permitting U.S. broadcasters to increase their power
would extend their reach into Canada, hence the "culture vultures" would be
interested in preventing that.
Since this is a bilateral matter, what would the U.S. be willing to give up
to permit broadcasters in the coordination zone to increase power?
Canada hasn't even started a proceeding that would lead to the termination
of analog, so - No.
Me thinks that perhaps "one" would say yes, but that person wouldn't be
thinking, only guessing.
John Willkie, who wonders how many national/racial slurs are properly
capitalized? I don't think I've ever seen the 'n' word capitalized, unless
it was the first word in a sentence, or located in a headline.

Would that change after analog shutoff? One would think yes. Even if
Canuks stay with NTSC a bit longer. No?
