The upside to Amazing Race Canada staying in Canada

From Corinne McDermott of Huffington Post Canada:

  • I’m Glad Amazing Race Canada Is Staying Close to Home
    The criticism that stings the most is that the show will be boring. I wonder if this is the famous Canadian humility going into overdrive? Or maybe these are Canadians ignorant, as I was, of the spectacular natural beauty and wonderful cultural diversity that Canada has to offer. In all of my travels there are only a handful of experiences that actually made me gasp, and two of them were in Canada. The first was seeing the sapphire waves of the Atlantic Ocean crash against the bluffs at Cape Spear in Newfoundland. The second was the awe-inspiring drive on the Icefields Parkway through the Rocky Mountains from Banff to Jasper. The scenery on that journey was almost a religious experience. Read more.

Motive

Motive brings actors home

From Brad Oswald of the Winnipeg Free Press:

  • The Motive is clear, Canadian TV series drew actor home
    They aren’t just making a TV show. They’re also making a statement about how, and where, they want to pursue their careers as actors. The stars of the upcoming CTV police drama Motive, which is currently in production in Vancouver, have very definite ideas about what being part of this new Canadian series means, personally as well as professionally. On a predictably rainy Tuesday in November, Motive’s producers invited TV writers from several Canadian cities to visit the show’s headquarters at The Bridge Studios in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby. During interviews on the show’s set, its two lead cast members — both Canadians who have had lengthy careers in the U.S. — cited Motive’s location and unapologetically Canadian attitude as major factors in their decision to sign on.
