In the news: Interview with Eric Peterson of Corner Gas

From RM Vaughan of the Globe and Mail:

  • He’s a rascally national treasure – but don’t tell him that
    “Eric Peterson would like you to know … well, rather a lot of things. Recently awarded ACTRA Toronto’s Excellence Prize (a lifetime achievement-style award for actors still spry enough to use it), the beloved Canadian theatre and film stalwart, and self-described “old fart,” shows no sign of going gently into that good night, evening or even midafternoon. Peterson is nothing if not energetic, even fiery, especially when the topic turns to the state of Canadian cultural production (and he will steer the conversation to that perennial puzzlement whether you ask him to or not).” Read more.

In the news: Leafs object to ‘lame excuse’

From the Toronto Sun:

  • Leafs put blame on CBC shows
    “CBC spokesperson Katie Heath-Eves said yesterday that all shows are ultimately renewed or dropped based on performance and there would be Canadian produced shows to eventually replace MVP and others.” Read more.

From the Barrie Examiner:

  • CBC excuse a lame one
    “In the first place, would the CBC really be foolish enough to count on revenue from the Leafs making the playoffs? Toronto hasn’t played a playoff game since 2004. What about ratings? Despite MVP attracting what’s being called ‘an unprecedented new youth-skewed audience’, that audience just wasn’t big enough. About 349,000 viewers tuned in during its January debut, which isn’t great. And it’s been look out below since then.” Read more.
