Speaking of weird Canadian shows, I once had a show in development at CBC about an inter-dimensional unicorn who granted mundane wishes if you murdered someone.
That's true thing.

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

When you start a script your mind will come up with so many reasons why you shouldn't write it. It's been done, you're bad, what's the point, no one cares, blah blah blah - those reasons are bullshit. You are not here to argue with yourself, you are here to write.
Do the thing you are here to do.

Koala's fingerprints are nearly identical to human fingerprints to such a degree that they are hard to distinguish even under a microscope.
It is not, therefore, impossible that a koala might have once committed a crime for which a human was blamed.

We need Canadian Content regulations for movie theatres.
Make it easy. Own more than 10 screens: 20% must be playing Canadian movies at all times (even distribution across the country). Less than 10 screens: You must be playing Canadian movies for 20% of the active time your screens are running.

Been reading new Canadian Content regulations for half an hour and the best I can figure out is like... could be worse?
Is that the best we can hope for anymore? Just that things could be worse? That's the baseline for society now?
Anyhow, keep making art, dummies.

If you live in Alberta, you should know that today your government will invoke the notwithstanding clause to wage war against transgender Albertans.
Not because transgender persons are harmful, but because the UCP is distracting you from their mountain of failures.

I’m seeing what Americans pay for healthcare and how is that country not rioting and protesting and storming the White House every single day?
How did y’all just come to accept this as a way of life?

I'm late to it, but I wanna say that if anything, the hype on "One Battle After Another" has undersold how good that movie is. Go see it in a theatre – not for the size or format or whatever, but to just turn the world off and be immersed in something incredible.
