Sun, turning to cloud

The skies, like certain TV stations, seem to be going dark. Though it warms our hearts and bank accounts to see brisk sales of Cancon continue in the U.S. and our fair-weather friends from Hollywood back at work in B.C. and Toronto – it is hard to ignore the shadow moving across the A and the E! stations and the queasy feeling that the television system is on its way to a great, dinosaur-style die-off.
