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 vertical warbird has been kicked around as a concept since the TNG days - I'm a little suprised we haven't gotten one before now.

I don't mean anything, as I didn't write the headline.

Is there any chance at all that you read the article?

3G Capital is a global investment firm and holds a 32% stake in Restaurant Brands International.

According to this article, this has further declined to 26%, roughly equivalent to the collective Canadian ownership (which I did not know, and is why I shared it).

Oh yeah, I think "is their food any good" is an entirely different question. But I do think it's interesting to untangle the ownership structure.

I can only assume that our version will be called CORN.

"Cube" is a really fun sci-fi horror, and I was happy to see it on the list. Very low-budget, but one should never hold that against Canadian cinema.

They definitely took some liberties with the list, but it seems like a good jumping-off point.

"No, Irish need apply!"

March 26, 2005. Not seeing the issue there.

They already have a system that watches the sea north of Australia

Okay, that makes sense, and it squares with the CBC article:

Carney acknowledged that the project is not new, but said the partnership with Australia will allow it to be built and deployed "as quickly as possible and as effectively as possible."

We're basically teaming up with an ally that has experience getting the job done. Sensible.
