24 Season 7 is not happening till 2009?

Being the Smartest Man in the World I don't get confused easily but due to conflicting reports from reputable sources I can't figure out if Season 7 of the TV show 24 has been canceled outright or is just on hold due to the writers strike.

Media in Canada has an article today saying it has been axed and to add some editorial spice they go one to add that advertisers in Canada are not concerned since it wasn't drawing viewers like it used to.

But Screen Rant is saying it is postponed but is absolutely coming back after the strike since there are 8 episodes shot already.

So what is it?

Variety says both!?!...well sorta

I will keep digging into this but until I get an answer, please enjoy the season 7 trailer.....it looked like a goody!

Depending on who you listen to.
