That’s a great song.

As a big fan of Republic of Doyle back in the day, I will definitely watch Saint-Pierre.

I remember when the Degrassi movie used the f-word on primetime CBC something like 30 years ago.

CityNews: Meet Our Team

On a superficial note, it really irks me when lists are alphabetized by first names rather than last!

I came across this Reddit post a few days ago. Poster is looking to find an old documentary or news report about Sikh-Hindu conflict in Canada, and offers this comment:

“This documentary, published by CBC’s The Fifth Estate, includes footage from an older documentary or news report. Could someone please help me find the original report? The footage appears from 7:06 to 7:20 and again from 8:40 to 9:02.”

The poster also wishes to identify the reporter, in the older clip, sitting at the desk with a pile of newspapers or documents in front of him. I thought it might be Eric Malling with a late 70s/early 80s haircut, but I’m not sure.

Poster did contact CBC for assistance but didn’t hear back from anyone.

I thought that some here might find this an interesting challenge, given the collective institutional memories of many members! In the second clip, I could only identify Flora MacDonald, which would put it between 1979 and 1980.

Thanks for any help!

Maybe they took the day off for Remembrance Day?

Big strong wind blow very fast!

Of course I mean the powerful windstorm experienced by a large swath of southern Ontario in May 2022. I don’t remember what date, but it might have been Victoria Day weekend.

Wondering about a tower that’s located in Halton Hills, just south of Georgetown between 5 and 10th Sideroad and east of Ninth Line North. Curious to know if it’s a transmitter or if it’s something to do with the airport - it’s painted red and white.

IIRC that is/was an OPP communications tower

The OPP tower is east of the former CHIC 790 site, now CHLO 530 (located between the 6th line and Trafalgar Road).  FWIW, that site has quite the history.  CHIC 790 had a 10 tower array at the site. It was also the original site of CFNY-FM (formerly CHIC-FM after moving from 2 Ellen Street in Brampton) before moving to the CN Tower.  I believe it is also the site of the failed application by Evanov to move CIDC-FM closer to Toronto.


 

Thanks!

They’ve done that on Thanksgiving Day for years.

It’s been a rough few days for the entertainment world - first Maggie Smith, then Kris Kristofferson, now John Amos.

I didn’t watch Good Times during its first run (I probably wouldn’t have appreciated it as I was younger than 10 years old), but a few years ago I watched the whole series through on Antenna TV.

A very minor role for him, but I remember when he played the father of one of Will’s girlfriends on Fresh Prince.

It's unclear what CTV will be showing in the usual 5 PM slot.

Corner Gas, if the TV listings website is to be believed.

Also, local good guy Paul Sun-Hyung Lee is joining the Murdoch cast this year.

I was still asleep (was very pregnant and had lost my job earlier in the summer, so I had a good excuse to sleep in). Heard the news flash on 680 and was briefly confused because I thought the WTC was in Chicago. Went downstairs, turned on the TV to Breakfast Television and saw Kevin Frankish with the breaking news.

My husband worked at the Toronto Star printing plant at the time, and he got called into work as they were running an extremely rare afternoon edition. I still have the copies of the papers that he brought home that day and for the next few days.
