Fantastic! John Finnemore did a brilliant sketch about this which is well worth the 3 minutes: youtu.be/7CLozw-sf6I?...

It's far from everywhere, but since marrying into a Saskatchewan family I have been captivated by the prairie. It shows you the size of creation - at Wanuskewin it's easy to see why it's sacred to the First Nations who live there. Wherever you go I hope you have a blast, it's an amazing place!

I think so too. Maybe it's a negotiation thing - I'm blanking but I think in the 70s there was some tradeoff where one star's name had to be furthest left but the other's had to be higher up, so they'd average out as equal Big Deals. Imagine negotiating between all the agents for this cast list 😆

It is such a terrible advert for the city. I've flown in and out of literal disaster zones with less stress.

I went to a comp. I'm not saying it was perfect - it very much was not - but amongst my schoolfriends are people who struggled for food as children and who are now polylingual senior execs. Inclusion is always the way to better outcomes, collectively and individually.
