Today, my fine young friends, is Canada Day.<\/p>\n

This is the day when we Canucks celebrate our national day. There will be fireworks, parades, people with maple leafs painted in strange places and copious amounts of beer.<\/p>\n

Our nation will be a paltry 140 years old. A pittance compared to most countries, but when compared to the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste<\/a> (East Timor to you), we are grannies!<\/p>\n

So why should a Science Fiction site like this place celebrate Canada Day? Because without us much of your TV would not appear. Do you think the networks could afford to shoot things like the 4440, Andromeda, Battlestar Gallactica, The Collector, Dark Angel, The Dead Zone, Dresden Files, Earth: Final Conflict, F\/X. Friday 13th: The series, Forever Knight, Harsh Realm, Highlander, Highlander: The Raven, Lone Gunmen, Millenium, Mutant X, Pain Killer Jane, The Pretender, ReGenesis, the Sentinel, Seven Days, Sliders, Smallville, the Stargate SG1 and Atlantis, Supernatural, Viper and the X-Files without the lower Canadian dollar? <\/p>\n

Don’t get me started on the movies, although I refuse to take reponsibility for Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, although I was in Vancouver when it was shooting.<\/p>\n

And I didn’t even mention the the Shag Habour UFO Crash<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
