A delightful selection. MOST enjoyable. The only time I was in Ontario was Toronto and up at Lake Barrie and I was there WHEN THE ICE WENT OUT!!! Oh fantastic. and we played Sibelius Full Chat and watched and listened. and.... oh glory.
And they are making some super films these days. Good Old Canada!!!!

And yes, I DID get your PM, but I'm hopelessly behind on LJ. Will reply soon!
