Bits and Pieces

That didn’t come out right

During the commercial breaks for the CBC mini-series dishing the dirt on the life of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, a voice-over announced: “This show has been brought to you by Canadian cheese.”

has to appear in every TV series and movie made in Anglophone Canada?

His range of expression seems to run the gamut from A

cool, but as an actor, he is less interesting that most trout I have

eaten.

I found this pretty cool version of Word Up [1.5MB MP3] that was performed by a high school marching band.
