Cineplex To Play More Films In French
Television Radio Canada has reported that Cineplex will be playing more films in French in their theaters, starting with the newly acquired theaters in the Maritimes.
I’m bilingual so I enjoy the odd French film. But I’ve had to travel to Gatineau, Quebec to view them in a theater or had to wait until it was released on DVD, blu-ray or on iTunes. And many French films are not readily available for rental outside of the province of Quebec or online so sometimes I don’t get to see some of these films until they air on television.
I’m hoping that if Cineplex decide to build a theater in my general area that it will include a smaller theater dedicated to foreign films.

Canada Post To Phase Out Door-To-Door Deliveries
Canada Post has unveiled a five-point action plan and unfortunately this means people will loose their door-to-door deliveries, which will be phased out over five years.
Parcels and letters requiring signatures will continue to be delivered door-to-door and more franchised postal outlets are planned. But an estimated 5 million Canadians will loose their regular weekday door-to-door postal deliveries and will receive their mail from community mailboxes instead.
