Imagine those two individuals storming into the offices of The Uxbridge Cosmos telling those of us that are our desks working that we deserve to die because of the way our cartoonist John Wood has depicted squirrel brothers Ches and Wal Nut. They tell us that, because their tongues are always slightly protruding out of their mouths and at least one of them is always acting fairly obtuse over something, we are being cruel to squirrels, we do not respect the rights of animals and we are committing animal heresy and therefore deserve to die. Then we are killed. Absurd, no? (although we’re sure John would love that his bros got some attention!) Well that’s essentially what happened at the office of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris last week. The world has been following this drama, so there’s no need to go into details here. What’s been worth looking into, however, is the ongoing discussion about just how far freedom of speech, and therefore freedom of the press, should go. It’s been interesting to listen to various news organizations defend whether they did or did not publish images of the cartoons that lead to the attack at Charlie Hebdo. We think that, as a race, we have the right to say what we like, write what we feel, and draw whatever we’re inspired to draw. Our thoughts are not always pure, and our imaginations are capable of absolutely anything. If we have the desire to put those imaginings on paper, then we should be allowed to do so, no matter where we are in the world.

Honestly, I don't know if you could call this soundtrack Now the tricky part was getting through the next minute or so doing a rundown of all the items in our show, “music.” At first I thought maybe I was missing something. Literally, I thought that maybe there was some sound level a kind of teaser for what viewers would see on the show. (Monday Magazine was a half-hour current or tone that only those under 25 could hear. What I could hear sounded like the bridge of the Starship Enterprise, a seem- affairs/lifestyle TV show on CBC in Alberta for a couple of seasons in the mid-1980s.

So, we did our lines three times - once with the camera I'm pretty sure, was standing in a wet cave at low tide. Before I could be dragged out to sea, I remembered why I had rolling on Lee; once on me; and finally rolling video of the two of us together. Amazingly, we did all three takes gone in to the shop in the first place. Good coffee, dammit! flawlessly. Anyway, after about five minutes outside, Lee and I couldn't do one more take if we'd wanted to.

I can remember it, like yesterday. After a game when the temperature on the ice had been -10 or -15, each one But Coffee! Coffee, Whitney! of us kids ripped off our skates and began hopping around the dressing room screaming, wailing, wishing for “I'd like a large, medium roast coffee, please?” I felt the order was sufficiently complicated and patted myself on the that excruciating pain of our toes thawing to stop. I remember the first time our house-league team made it to back for at least knowing what colour roast I was interested in. The bearded-barista smiled perkily. the finals; the coach said the warmest words I think I've ever heard. “We don't have actual drip, just Espresso. Do you want an Americano?” “We're playing in the final,” he said, “indoors at the Ted Reeve Arena.” In our day, that was like being told WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?! I want el-Canadiano. A hotto coffee-o in a cuppo! we would play at Maple Leaf Gardens. Our toes wouldn't freeze.

But our faces said it “Yes?” all: “It's bloody cold out here!” “A double?” By the way, I didn't finish my Fort McMurray story. Later on that winter morning in 1985 - as was our on-loca- “Mm-hmm,” I confirmed with an awkward, helter-skelter smile. And then I shuffled to the end of the counter and got lost in the curated collection of awkward, waxy, dark and ambigu- tion routine - one of our camera crew checked the videotape of the introductions we'd done on that frozen hill- ous coffee-shop paintings. It was probably at least a minute and a half of cave-singing and angry, weeping wax art before side overlooking Fort McMurray. Well, you want to know how cold it was? It was so cold that one of the tubes I realized my Americano was up. in the camera (they had three primary colour tubes in cameras in those days)… one of tubes had seized up in I thanked the sleeveless, rope-jumping barista and walked out into the unforgiving light of late morning, the cold and every one of our takes had come out with only two of the three primary colours included. That defeated…until I drank my absolutely stellar Amerciano and felt reborn…then I realized I'd have to go back into that meant we had to go back and shoot the entire intro all over again, on that frozen hillside. womb of vengeful youth if I wanted to ever get another one.
