From Bill Harris of Sun Media:

  • Corner Gas movie could be in the pipeline
    “The very real possibility of a Corner Gas movie means the TV series won’t end in apocalyptic fashion next year. “We’ve talked about doing a movie, which I like the idea of, and CTV seems to like the idea of, so I couldn’t end it with a meteor hitting the gas station or something,” said series creator and co-star Brent Butt.” Read more.

From Gayle MacDonald of the Globe and Mail:

  • The hottest women not on TV
    “In the last 10 years, female screenwriters in Canada have made huge strides, muscling their way onto TV screens, leaving an indelible stamp on comedy, drama, and action series across network schedules.

In the news: Rent-a-Goalie star Christopher Bolton

From RM Vaughan of the Globe and Mail:

  • Goalie star scores a hat trick
    “Like many Canadian actors tired of playing bit parts on U.S.-produced movies of the week and nameless characters on television shows with established casts – or, worse yet, enjoying the, ahem, artistic challenge of starring in eccentric Canadian indie films, the kind used as Cancon filler on pay-per-view cable stations – Christopher Bolton followed the Paul Gross/Sarah Polley/Daniel MacIvor plan and decided to write, produce and star in his own material.” Read more.

  • Season III premieres Wednesday, May 7 on SLICE

XweightedA record-setting 809 lbs. came off the scales in Season III of X-Weighted, Sliceâ„¢’s hit weight-loss documentary series which starts airing 13 brand new episodes starting Wednesday May 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. This year’s record is also being celebrated as a personal success for one participant who, by losing 113 lbs in six months, set the all-time weight-loss record for X-Weighted and its predecessor Taking it Off.

X-Weighted is a series of 13 one-hour documentaries chronicling the lives of ordinary people waging a war on fat. Over a period of six months they push their minds and bodies to new limits in the pursuit of physical and emotional health. X-Weighted exposes the naked truth about losing weight – the plans and pitfalls, gripes and grit that go hand-in-hand with achieving this often exasperating goal. Each episode delves deep to expose the underlying causes of weight gain and its affect on self-image, relationships and everyday life. X-Weighted provides a window into journeys of self-discovery as individuals struggle to drop their extra weight and excess baggage.
