Sean Minogue of the Georgia Straight details the Canadian television fare waiting for us this fall, including Corner Gas, Little Mosque on the Prairie, Intelligence, Whistler, Heartland, Robson Arms, and No Opportunity Wasted:

    “Toss the sunscreen aside and pick up the remote. It’s time to say goodbye to another balmy Vancouver summer. But don’t worry your fading farmer’s tan won’t be the only red-and-white thing this fall.
