Instead of being told by the government what is suitable for children of different ages, I would prefer that TV shows simply be numerically rated in various categories (e.g. violence, language, etc). That way I can decide what level I am prepared to accept in each category.
There is one very strange thing about the Canadian ratings. They are different for english and french programming.
For english programming the ratings are: Exempt, Children, 8+, General, PG, 14+, 18+.
For french programming the ratings are: Exempt, General, 8+, 13+, 16+, 18+.
