From Laura Power of Northern News Service:

Reporting with Rick Mercer
“Rick Mercer has found his dream job. Unfortunately for me, he’s also found mine, and there’s only room enough for one Rick Mercer in this country. So when he came to town earlier this week, I jumped on the opportunity to spend a couple of days helping him and his crew.” Read more.

In the news: Interview with Eric Peterson of Corner Gas

March 14, 2008 Diane Wild

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.
