This, through no fault of its own, hit one of my hot buttons.  Both 
_DaVinci's City Hall_ and _Intelligence_ got canceled.  Both were 
shows about the use of politics and political power in Canada -- 
DaVinci could have been Canada's _West Wing_.  But no!  There are 
words you can't say on television; two of them are "senator" and 
"cabinet minister".
