I’m going to be away for a bit, off to the cottage until next Wednesday and unless I find a wi-fi spot on the little island in North Eastern Georgian Bay I won’t be posting much (though I will try to check email and facebook occasionally via phone). Some of the other writers for the…

Imponderables: Histories Greatest Pervs
From Toronto Sketch Comedy Troupe the Imponderables comes “An ill fated PBS series entitled Histories Greatest Pervs; canceled after only 5 episodes.” Here are the first three of those.

Video Tour Diary: Will Currie and the Country French
If you’re one of the few people that really think Canadian musicians ride around in limos, eat at 4 star restaraunts and shop at expensive boutiques, there is evidence to the contrary.
