From the Globe and Mail:

In early June, while attending the Banff World Television Festival, actor Paul Gross sat down with a reporter to give his opinion on the current rush of Canadian TV producers, distributors and broadcasters vying to team up with American networks. Never one to hold his tongue, Gross – whose show Due South was the first Canadian-made show to win a prime-time slot on a major U.S. network – said things that very few in the gung-ho-to-sell crowd wanted to hear.

Okay, Paul, now tell us what you REALLY think.

I wonder why they keep inviting him, with this really really bad habbit of his, which is telling the truths nobody (at least on his continent)really wants to hear.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Because he's controversial. And smart. And because he's most likely right.

Also, icon!

He's very welcome to tell me his opinion any time. I like it a lot.

Brilliant photos, he's looking amazing.


The heywriterboy blog covered Paul's comments in the G&M article and completely agreed with them. Even the tone of the article was pro-Paul for a change. And when has he ever been wrong?

Must be the water.

I don't know the heywriterboy blog. Must look.

And when has he ever been wrong?

Dunno. If I ever meet Martha Burns, it's one of the first things I'll ask her. :)

Nah, I think it's that painting in the attic again.

He often mentions Paul (and agrees with him!) but he's worth a read outside of that anyway as a man in the Can-Con biz.

Sorry, that was some bad punctuation. I'll shut up now and continue to lick my screen.

If it wasn't for bad punctuation...

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

...I wouldn't have no punctuation at all. *plays blues guitar*

Oh, okay, it's Dead Things on Sticks. I know of that one; I'm pretty sure I've read it on occasion.

[bjohan57.livejournal.com]

Ah ok, different names for different folk. I thought it was a bit odd that you hadn't heard of it - I take the view that if I've heard of something, you certainly have :)

How's everything with you?

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Everything is groovy. Except I still don't have coverage for my vacation time because scheduling is Evil and didn't put in my first request. I imagine I'll get it, but grr. I hate to have to work so hard and beg so many people to help me.

Back is feeling better, though, which is a giant plus. Not all the way, but a whole great big lot.

[bjohan57.livejournal.com]

I would be more than happy to cover you if it were possible, and that is a complete bugger. :( I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get your time off.

Glad the back is better as well - What did you do in the end to help it?

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Chiropractic, lots of it. Still ongoing. Also, I started Glucosamine and Chondroitin, which seems to be helping some.

You and your mad fast icon skillz. :D

[bjohan57.livejournal.com]

Couldn't resist! Found the small icon at Gettyimages but the large version was watermarked, so decided to make the best out of a bad job.

I hear that Gluco. and Chondro. in combo help a hell of a lot of people- glad to hear that it is making things better for you as well :)

He's looking so nice!
Not if it's some kind of news. :-)

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Well. In my opinion, jasdfdfhj;s. I mean, yes, he is.
