UK-based distributor Sphere Abacus is run by MD Jonathan Ford and sells shows including Leaving Neverland, Catch You Later, and Travels with Agatha with Sir David Suchet internationally. Bell Media will fold its programming into Sphere Abacus library in the wake of the deal, meaning that catalog swells to about 5,500 hours.

As well making a big move into international distribution with the Sphere Abacus deal, Bell Media’s Cohan tells Deadline about a project dubbed internally as ‘Northern Lights’. It will see the Canadian outfit forge a range of new international programming partnerships and seek to elevate Canadian talent and content on the global stage.

 

The riding has been held by Liberal MP Chandra Arya since 2015, but the 62-year-old learned Thursday that the party had removed him as their candidate.

Is it? Because we seem to be highly dependent on investagative journalists for that sort of thing.

I would argue that we at least have the right to know who they are. In the case of unions, that's certainly the case.

This is good for unions and other above-board groups, but I can't help but wonder how this affects the various "dark money" lobby groups that have unclear ownership, but have been buying political ads across the country.

or is it just like regulation about what can be transported across provincial lines?

That's a big part of it - this is a decent explainer.

Unfortunately, the deadline has now passed to register as a Liberal and be eligible to vote in the 2025 Leadership race.

With respect, you really need to improve your understanding of our political process.

It really isn't. It's a rubber stamp.

Are there honestly people who believe that the King should be weighing in on political matters?

"We don't have time to put people on trial" is not a take I'm prepared to get behind.

And even if it were...how would revoking his citizenship change any of what you just described?

I'm pretty sure the portion of the Act that site refers to was repealed in 2017.

Canadian citizens who (are alleged to) have committed treason should be tried under to Canadian law, and there's no reason to invent loopholes to avoid having to put someone on trial.

Maybe illegally revoking the citizenship of people we don't like is a bad thing?

The sort of thing they want to do?

Okay then, the next election will happen when the next election is called.

Let me know if I used any words that are too big for you.
