If I were running Crave, I'd bring back Are You Afraid of the Dark as a horror anthology where each episode is written and directed by an upcoming Canadian director in their own style.

My book Live to See the Day is off to the printer and available for preorder. I’d love it if you bought a copy or spread the word. It took me around the world — and took seven years to write! Which is fitting for a book about things that might never happen. www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/645965...

Elbows Up, Thumbs Down: Canada has, in a backward way, been gifted by the White House a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to not just support homegrown culture, but to strengthen and revitalize it for decades to come. And we’re *blowing* it. My long-read essay for this Saturday's @theglobeandmail.com:

This is a comedy with no laughs in it. This is a movie that thinks America is made up of Santa Monica,West Hollywood, and Manhattan. And this is a movie that kills everything good it touches, so its inclusion of Johnny Cash’s “Ghost Riders in the Sky” and the Violent Femmes’ “Add It Up” is abhorrent
