http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elwy_Yost As a cable avoider, I only get a handful of snow-free channels on the rabbit ears, but thankfully one of these is TVO. I’ve rediscovered my forgotten childhood habit of watching Saturday Night at the Movies and all of the related pre- and post-movie interviews, which are invariably hosted by Elwy Yost. As Canadians, […]

Federal regulators have granted Alberta-based Real Productions approval to launch a new digital pornography channel, which promises to serve up at least 50 percent domestic content. Canadian porn. Where the […]
Pigasuss reviews – StumbleUpon
http://pigasus.stumbleupon.com/review/24213665/ From the page: “Members of a fundamentalist American church group planning to stage a protest at the funeral for a Winnipeg man brutally killed on a Greyhound bus have managed to enter Canada, a spokeswoman told CBC News on Friday.” For once, I’m hoping Canadians get their impression of America from the likes of […]

CBC.ca – Arts – Film – The Plight of the ‘Peg
http://www.cbc.ca/arts/film/winnipegjets.html I watched this “art-house documentary” (read: bizarrely edited and off-puttingly assembled found clips) on the death of the Winnipeg Jets hockey franchise.

I hope she follows up with video of Peter Mansbridge pounding the crap out of Rex Murphy in the boxing game. INNOVATION: 4/5 – I may have the world’s first […]

While demonstrating the usual cheap production values and terrible acting that are the hallmarks of Canadian productions, they quickly struck a chord. They […]
Frozen Headphone Wire Alert | Toronto Mikes Blog
http://www.mikeboon.com/2007/01/frozen_headphone_wire_alert.html Remember me saying earlier that Canadians are a peculiar people? Read this and see if you can identify: I can always tell when it’s really cold because my headphone wires freeze. They assume a shape and won’t budge. As a result, today I’m issuing a frozen headphone wire alert for all Toronto residents.
