One of the things that sticks in my mind about Dwayne is this: having grown up in Detroit in the days before cable, his family was able to get the local CBC TV feed "over the air". So he got to grow up with Mr. Dress-Up and The Friendly Giant like most of us on my side of the line did. He got to enjoy Hockey Night in Canada right along with us, too, and as he grew up his tastes evolved.
One part of that evolution included his enjoyment of The Newsroom, a satire of the Canadian TV news business created by and starring one Ken Finkleman.
Finkleman just got interviewed yesterday by Jian Ghomeshi on Q, and I wasn't quite sure what I was hearing. To be sure, he said a number of things that a lot of Canadians would agree with. Particularly Canadians who were participating in the G20 protests in Toronto last summer, and are far gone into genuine rage over what happened there.
No doubt, Dwayne might have been able to parse the whole thing a lot better than I, and figure out what I was really hearing. Did Finkleman take over the interview, did he say what he actually meant to say, and if the answer to the latter is "yes", what was his real intent?
Not sure myself yet.
