On my stinking television (which comes with a Bell Fibe plan, included now with the apartment I'm renting) I no longer can sign into CBC-Gem. It just freezes at the logo now. I dunno what's going on. And I don't know whom to complain to. CBC? Bell? My apartment complex? Something else?

Because of the news item below, I decided to watch the #CBCNews item from #TheFifthEstate about #CricketCanada’s connections to Organized Crime and match fixing (and a bunch of other fixes). The report, ‘Corruption, Crime & Cricket Canada,’ ran on the 18th of April and makes a mockery of the Board’s claims to know nothing about anything involving untoward influence.
Find it on #CBCGem.
Highly recommended.

I love when companies advertise an item internationally and don’t think about what their name or phrase means in other places. Ready Seal probably did not think that they would need to ask a Canadian if saying something was “Goof Proof” meant anything different.
Meanwhile, I’m watching #CBCGem and this ad comes up and I’m like “…the deck sealant protects against pedophiles?”
In some parts of Canada, a goof is a child molester. So while we all know goof proof would mean idiot proof… it’s a hilarious choice of vocabulary. lol

Why watch it?
Well, come for the sexy robber of money from banks, but stay for the writing, acting, and characters. Everything is entirely believable and top-notch stuff. The pacing is realistically uneven, with time taken on slow portions of ‘regular life,’ just as things understandably become thrilling in the ‘bank caper’ sequences.
WARNING: foul language, violence, nudity, and suggestive scenes.

Charismatic people who have a working brain can do just about anything they want to.
Alas.
Brenden Abbott chose to rob banks (a bit of a victimless crime, but for the people working there) and break out of prison when caught.
In between, he charmed his way around Australia, stealing an estimated 5M $AU.
I watched this on #CBCGem, but other regions must have it available somehow.
Highly recommended.

The colour commentator on these #CBC Gem #university #hockey games sounds a lot like former WWF wrestler, the late "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig.
I'm waiting for him to, at any moment, challenge Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake to a no holds barred steel cage match.

I had heard about this show, but hadn’t bothered to watch any of it until recently. What provided the shove was seeing “Saint Pierre,” Allan Hawco’s latest show, and thinking what else has this guy done? Oh! That was also his show? Well then…
This is great storytelling, with a soupçon of regional peculiarities. Having a familial connection with the city of St John’s helps, but no one could be left uncharmed by the people and their generous nature and yearning for doing the right thing.
The characters, writing, direction, acting, all are worth your while.
Highly recommended.

The last 20 minutes of CBC’s live midnight countdown show for Vancouver last night was embarrassingly bad. Absolute rubbish, time wasting filler with no entertainment value at all. The countdown hitting zero was so deflating as a result.
I guess they used up all their budget and good presenters for other provinces/cities.

This is on CBC Gem for only a few more days. Watch this as soon as you can — tonight, even — and relive something that’s ageless, pure, and more kind than anything you’ve experienced in a long time.
Please trust me when I say you should keep some tissues handy. You have no idea how much he meant to you until you see this wonderful documentary.
Seriously, grab a big box of tissues.
No, bigger than that little packet in your pocket. Yeah, the box. There you go.
If you are of a certain age, mandatory viewing.

Story Of 4 Nations Face-Off Told In CBC Special From Blink49 Studios

How refreshing to see a show with two people and their friends trying to do their best each and every day, as parents and at work, and they’re all making about as many mistakes as anyone else. It gives one hope that we can all get through the worst of it; even for some of us who aren’t sure they can or ever will be able to.
The writing is brilliant, the acting believable, and the moments of sadness perfectly balance the moments of hysteria. You know, just like life (if you had writers to help you with… words… to talk… real good).
Recommended.

I’m glad I gave this show the time to develop to the end of the season.
It starts a little light, seeming to be a typical ‘small-town with an alarming frequency of murder.’ It’s in the unique situation of being a French territory just barely off the Newfoundland coast, and has a history of smuggling.
By the time the season ends, it’s a riveting drama with tension aplenty. It just takes ten episodes to get there.
Give it a chance for more than a couple of episodes. You’ll be rewarded.
Highly recommended!

While there are moments clearly tweaked for American audiences (judges in the Old Bailey do not, nor ever have, used gavels), this is an excellent programme about a now-little known crime which spawned more crime and likely altered investigations ever since.
As I mentioned a few days ago, they stole so much gold bullion — by chance — that the market price was affected due to supply reduced by over 3 Imp Tons. Because gold is protean, none of it could reasonably be recovered.
But the trail of money, and what it did to the people and to businesses involved with it, took years to navigate. Everyone on both sides of the crime are fascinating, and I guarantee you a complete lack of boredom while watching.
Highly recommended.

The CW has picked up a third season of Canadian police drama "Wild Cards", starring Vanessa Morgan and Giacomo Gianniotti, which will premiere January 26. Canada's CBC has also ordered a fourth season, though no decision has been made for the US.

I’ve been very much enjoying this show the last few weeks. There’s an American version of this, but that’s of no interest to me.
This is educational, funny, heart-warming, and even has wonderfully positive messages about interrelationships, understanding, acceptance, and compassion.
Also, and most importantly, love of others.
Also, it’s extremely silly.
Highly recommended.

A bonus article from me!
Toronto food writer Suresh Doss is known for finding those delicious spots often overlooked by mainstream food narrative.
I was thrilled to be asked to chat with him about his new show, Locals Welcome, on CBC Gem, & what makes a hidden gem.
