August 22, 2022 – You know it’s a slow day when the firing of a talking head garners so much media attention. It’s hard to be a journalist in 2022. We media outlets have lost our revenue streams thanks to government deregulation, and essentially strangulation of most media in Canada. It happens all over the […]
Increased smartphone usage is a global trend, but it’s of particular note in Canada, which has one of the highest rates of smartphone use (per population) in the world. Currently, there are nearly 30 million mobile internet users in Canada, which equates to some 75% of the population, and it’s a trend that’s only expected […]
So I watched The Bells. Frankly it’s been the best episode of this last season. Even though it fails in so many ways; it was engrossing. They really needed at least eight episodes this season. While I get budget and logistic challenges; we simply needed more of the stories fleshed out. It feels like someone […]
A lot can be said about online entertainment around the world in 2019, as it continues to impress and improve in both quality and popularity at a rapid rate.

Netflix has spent the past few years ramping up its production of original series and movies. As a result, we’ve been blessed with the likes of Jessica Jones and Daredevil; Grace And Frankie; I Don’t Feel At Home In This World Anymore; Stranger Things; and House Of Cards. We’ve also had the displeasure of watching […]
It was quite amusing to see some local media get excited by our homey Ryan Gosling mentioning Cornwall on Saturday Night Live, a NBC comedic institution led by Canuck Lorne Michaels who hails from Winterpeg. As many know Ryan, who was born in London, grew up here and got his break via Montreal. […]
CFN – I think it was a show called ‘Sex Wars’ that first introduced me to the intellectually content produced by Lighthearted Entertainment. I was in high school. Puberty was taking over and my thoughts were on the busty host whose face is still a mystery. So were the guest composed of guys and girls […]
CFN – It seems that there’s a move a foot to kill the CBC. And it’s coming from within. Hubert Lacroix, the reigning President of our Nation’s broadcaster looks like Gordon Gekko a business guy/bureaucrat brought in to dismantle the CBC one block at a time. He didn’t work his way up the broadcaster, but was […]
CFN – I love listening to Q with host Jian Ghomeshi. I have had a long time love affair with CBC radio since I worked in the Arctic when I was young. There’s something about CBC radio that has always been special which is why I’m personally saddened yet at the same time pulling up […]
(photo: Duckcommander.com ) CFN – Isn’t it odd when those seeking their own rights and voices lash out and throw hissy fits at others that , my gosh, are diverse to their own? Ten, twenty, thirty years ago it would be arrows and slings at Gay activists over issues like Gay Marriage, Gays in […]
CFN – I did something I swore I’d never do this weekend. I signed up for traditional TV signing with Shaw Direct instead of Bell or our local Cable company Cogeco. (Bell didn’t answer their phone within 5 minutes and Cogeco is just wrong – a horrible company in my opinion.) It was an easy […]
CFN – Oy, what is it with Coronation Street and propping up the gargantuan feet of actress Sue Cleaver who plays Eileen Grimshaw on Coronation Street? What? What is it!! It’s as mysterious as the secret to how they put the caramel in the Cadbury chocolate bars or why there are no Jewish characters […]
CFN – What do I say about finding a new hill to climb? I am over 40 (OK, way over 40) and wondering where I fit in as a gay comedian, actor, as an artist …as a man. Friends are getting sick, my dad passed away and I realize time is passing and I can’t go back. […]
CFN – Netflix has been a very nimble and quirky company. As film, television, and the internet merge like contagious diseases the former DVD mailing competitor that has survived Block Buster has now unveiled it’s own programming. Seeing the future Netflix jumped into the streaming of programming relying on feature films, documentaries and late […]
CFN – So do you just jump from Sausages to Seafood without blinking? Well that’s what the writers of Coronation Street are pitching as the Marcus (Charlie Condou who according to Wikipedia has a Canadian boyfriend!) & Maria (Samia Smith) story line evolves. Now gay characters have come a long way in television since the days of Paul […]
CFN – I like to do the full omnibus round up on Sundays and this week’s has been fun! I’m going to have some weekly round up fan and hope my fellow Canadian Corrie fans ring in. Not sure about you guys, but this Stella and how mammarically gifted daughter can go anytime. The Ryan […]
