Please forward to your friends, acquaintances and just about anyone else you can think of.
Celebrate Canada Day and show your support of our national cinema by checking out a Canadian film. In addition to the titles playing at your local cinema, Canadian films can be found on DVD and VHS at most rental stores across the country. A Canadian film is your best bet this weekend!

Thirty-eight years and still going strong, THIS Magazine is one of Canada's longest-publishing alternative journals. Founded by a gang of school activists in 1966, and originally called This Magazine Is About Schools, the modern-day THIS focuses on Canadian politics, literature and culture but, in keeping with its radical roots, never pulls punches. Subversive, edgy and smart, THIS is the real alternative to that. Visit THIS Magazine's new-and-improved website http://www.thismagazine.ca!
