Scandal in Canada

If you haven’t heard about this story, it will shock you.

The CBC (state-funded media) with APTN (a nonprofit aboriginals people television network) co-produced an alleged satirical prank comedy series called Northland Tales.

They duped two prominent conservatives Francis Widdowson (who has been a critic of certain indigenous policy narratives) and Lindsay Shepherd (free speech advocate, and former conservative party of BC staffer) into participating in what they thought was going to be a bona fide documentary.

Listen to this.

What the CBC has done is borderline criminal - if not outright criminal.

Hearts of Darkness documentary

We are going peach picking in Central Florida. Quite a bit of a drive, so as we were driving, we played the documentary behind apocalypse now, in anticipation of next weeks’s movie review.

I doubt the kids got much out of it, but if they got anything, it’s more than nothing.

I didn’t catch all of the documentary visually because I was driving. But audio was definitely more than sufficient.

It’s wild what goes in to making these movies… When they are really done with full commitment. 300 days shooting in the Philippines jungle… People not “being in character”, but rather just losing themselves mentally.

There is a part of me that wants to write it off as self-indulgent, self-aggrandizing, narcissistic, mental illness celebrity behavior.

People who have never really played the role thinking they can learn how to play the role by putting themselves through intense Movie-making.

Without getting too much into the details of what we will discuss next week, Martin Sheen, getting drunk, ...

Art of the Day 
  • The Charles Bridge of Prague. Fond of bridges, I remember it well, having come down from Kafka Lane higher in the city, and a man on a bycicle literally barking into the wind, and thinking somehow that made sense on Kafka Lane. The ancient history, the brooding statues, the iconic stone arch, the hopeful singers peopling it’s passage, all made it my favorite part of Prague, and a place to revisit for hopeful thought in my memory’s vault.

Art of the Day 

  • The cowboy hat on a country fence in the country. Americana defined. Independence. Freedom. Conviction. The best traits of America captured in the yeoman farmer of Jeffersonian lore. The echoes of a country song about love and loss, heartbreak and hope, a whisper of the future amidst the distress of the day. The sun ain’t set yet.
