"How come every time the OIL INDUSTRY gets government money, it's a SUBSIDY...but when the ARTS INDUSTRY gets money, it's a HANDOUT?" -RON JAMES, 2009 Geminis

Aboot Me (I don't really say "Aboot.")
I get paid money to write TV. I'm a recovering television producer & journalist, and I represent the Central Region on the Council of the Writers Guild of Canada. I co-created ACROSS THE RIVER TO MOTOR CITY, have written episodes of BLOOD TIES, STARGATE: UNIVERSE, RENT-A-GOALIE, and THE BORDER. I hold fiercely to the vision of a place for Canadian stories on Canadian TV, despite the endless gaming of the system here. I believe in writing showrunners, and that ideas are cheap. It's the ability to execute them that you pay for. I have a laugh like a cannon, and I'm as loyal as an Irish setter.
