^Yes, this forum is more active for Canadian topics, and with all the oil development in Nfld I anticipate more activity in the future.

Filming begins in St. John's on Wednesday on Love and Savagery, the latest film by award-winning director John N. Smith.
Montreal-born Smith, who also helmed TV series The Englishman's Boy and Random Passage, is in charge of the $6.5-million feature centred on an impossible love story.
Set in 1968 in Newfoundland and Ireland, it is the story of a geologist and poet, played by Newfoundland native Allan Hawco, who falls in love with a young Irish woman who plans to devote her life to the church, a role played by Irish actress Sarah Greene.
They meet while he is studying the bleak landscape of the Burren, the rocky limestone area in northwestern Ireland. The traditional community looks askance at their relationship and the young woman is faced with a difficult choice.
The shooting in Newfoundland will continue for the next four weeks.
