My new documentary THE TRAIN TO NOWHERE has just pulled into the station.
It's an exploration of Ottawa's rail history, and having hope in bleak times for transit.

I usually feel sad when a Canadian celebrity rises through the ranks and makes it to American media and almost “forgets” their roots…
But in a case like Kevin O’Leary more than happy to see him flock over there. They can keep him!

FANTASTIC article, if you’re a nut for Canada’s rich broadcast history like I am, I highly recommend giving this a read!
For CBC Arts, I wrote about why I think Canada needs to revel in the beauty of its weirdest impulses www.cbc.ca/arts/canadia...

In the ‘80s and ‘90s, English Canadian screens were filled with bizarre, fever dream-like shows. Writer Niko Stratis argues that we need to back to that

I’m shocked at how better my analytics are here on Bluesky VS Twitter, which is funny because you’d assume I’d get more there because I have more followers (180 there vs 30 here), but hey I’ll take it.

An important exploration into how the tide of politics can delay public necessities like transit.
In a perfect world, our sprawl-y Canadian cities would all be anchored along linear rail corridors just like The Trillium Line.
These projects are needed. And we need to get them right.

@jm-mcgrath.bsky.social John, I’m a big fan of your work with TVO, wanted to share this documentary I made on Ottawa’s OTrain. Considering you’re from Ottawa I’d thought I’d share with you, I’d love for you to check it out.
