The 24th Annual Gemini Awards
Read all about it! The Hour misses the mark with Reisman
Heather Reisman; president and CEO of Indigo/Chapters
shes rich, shes powerful, she supports literacy…
40% of Canadian adults are functionally illiterate! Thats crazy. She’s helping to bring this to the government’s attention. However, why we would need a bookstore owner to bring this to the government’s attention says a lot about our government.
The Hour did a fantastic [...]
One Million Acts of Green
Just went to the onemillionactsofgreen website and they have officially passed the 1,000,000 mark! I have two questions running through my head right now.
Did each and every act that people signed up for really get done, or was it just a game to see if you could get more than your friends? I have far [...]
One Million Acts of Green
This is brilliant. Kudos to The Hour for stepping it up. As George and David Suzuki said in their conversation today, its not about being perfect its about taking steps toward being more green. So go for it, make a decision, register it on the site and prove that people can affect change.
Here is the [...]
Suzanne Somers
Did she actually say that she and her husband inject themselves with growth hormones on a daily basis? Really? I imagine that a lot of the hormone/health problems that exist are from the injection of growth hormones into food (Refer to Monsanto’s injection of growth hormones in cows for their milk products, which was found [...]
Get to the Point- Make Poverty History Ad
George Stroumboulopoulos is one of many famous Canadian faces that can be seen in a new Make Poverty History ad pleading to the governement to reach their target and fulfill their promise to give .7% of our national income as foreign aid. This amount is necessary in order for the world to make any real progress towards [...]
Elizabeth May, Michael Buble and Radiohead
First, I have to say that todays show was awesome. George’s intro off the top of the show was hilarious, watch it online while its still up.
Elizabeth May
Great conversation. I thought it was interesting how she was expressing that she would pick Dion over Harper in an election, just reinforcing the “voting strategies” in this country that tend [...]
Peter Mansbridge and Douglas Coupland
The Mansbridge interview was compelling. They touched on many topics, and i would like to rant about some of them…well, sort of.
American primary election..etc.- who cares? I do. I am interested in how quickly the election topics go from being discussed with substance, to being overshadowed by savvy political tactics and fancy phrases. Like how Kerry got [...]
The all-knowing Alan Cross, Sofia Milos and The fuck death foundation
Alan Cross
When it comes to Alan Cross, I am bias. I grew up listening to him on the edge, i already knew everything they stated in the bio (and more)… when the edge started airing “the ongoing history of new music” reruns from 10-noon on sunday mornings, I stopped going to church. His influence on my musical [...]
Peter Guber and Jully Black
Peter Guber
“You have to embrace failure in order to succeed.” Great advice. Now all nice things aside, I cannot believe hollywood spends half of a billion dollars to make a movie, and I still can’t think of a “blockbuster” movie worth watching from the last few years. There is so much crap. I guess you [...]
