I went to the massive rally by the Saskatchewan film industry at noon today and it was quite the spectacle.

But the film community, as you might expect given their skills, put on quite a show today with a bunch of semis including catering trucks, equipment trucks, portable dressing rooms as well as a fleet of motorcycles lining up beside hundreds of protesters to protest the elimination of a film tax credit that helps us compete with pretty much every other jurisdiction in North America for film productions.
Here’s a song parody that’s quite appropriate given today’s event…
