ON THE COVER
NOW talked to Toronto bad boy filmmaker Bruce McDonald as his third film, Dance Me Outside, about life on the rez, was set for release. We knew then that McDonald would be an artist with a long career. His three-part documentary series, Yonge Street: Toronto Rock & Roll Stories, about the seedy underbelly of the music scene, airs on Bravo at 10 pm, March 21 to 23. And Molly Parker or the late Tracy Wright, the stars of his most recent film, Trigger, could win a Genie Award next week. (Page 28 of the issue.)
MEDIA WATCH
NOW reported on the accusations, resignations, bitterness and factionalism that rocked passionate alternative radio station CKLN. Yikes, some of the same charges led the CRTC to revoke the station’s licence two months back. (Page 15 of the issue.)
IN THE NEWS
We’re doing it now we did it then: boosting above-ground transit over pricey subways. Sixteen years ago, NOW trashed the NDP government’s plan for four new subway lines. Our choice way back: an expanded GO Transit network fanning out from the lakeshore to every nook and cranny in the Greater Toronto Area. (Pages 12, 13 and 16 of the issue.)
