  1. Taking 40 five minute pitches in Rio today. Whew. Brazilian doc producers have come a long way in a couple of years but still need coaching
  2. Brazilian doc producers here in Rio are eager to work in the international marketplace. And the market for docs is shrinking everywhere.
  3. Amazed at inability of broadcasters and cable and satellite companies to serve their mutual self-interest by resolving their deifferences.
  4. Gemini Awards in Calgary a terrific idea. What a friendly place to celebrate Canadian television success.
  5. Believing that documentaries must continue to be an important part of our cultural policy. The form is very popular with audiences.
  6. Ottawa Public Health system functioning poorly. Wait an hour at 7:30 for a vaccine appointment bracelet. Then wait 90 minutes at appointment
  7. It will be a travesty if Globalive appeals to the Cabinet and gets a favourable ruling. Our foreign ownership rules are important.
  8. My daughter only does 900 texts a month and 60 tweets.
  9. Canadian teens each send an average of 2,743 SMS messages per month.
  10. Being amazed at Globe and Mail feature on how and why Canwest empire unravelled.
  11. Countering Rogers' argument at IIC that the battle for Canadian drama is lost and we should just give up. CMF $ to anything but drama??-NOT
  12. Why do so many media professionals still talk speculatively about media consumption habits that have already changed?
  13. Off to speak at IIC Conference in Montreal. Countering the chorus of those who argue drama is dead and reality shows are all that count.
  14. The CFTPA Board meeting begins.
  15. Family trumps politics
  16. Wondering why the CBC is taking the risk of shaking down independent producers by taking rights without paying for them.
  17. Tough USA net neutrality rules a good model for Canada. Let's push for same here.
  18. Roger Frappier right to say we need to think and do more about "big context" film and television that works in our globalized world.
  19. Trailer Park Boys new flick a good one. Saw toinight world premiere in Halifax.
  20. Saw TIFF opening film, Creation. Paul Bettany terriffic. Slow plot and not much story but still satisfying.
