The perception of Canadian film is varied. Is it time for Canadian film to shake off its stigma of weird and unavailable, or should filmmakers in Canada embrace its inner freak and carry on? The lighthearted debate will see both sides of the argument duked out, between opening arguments, lightning rounds, and trivia should see us laughing all the way to the closing arguments. It may even enlighten us about the future of Canadian cinema. Whoever wins will get bragging rights, and perhaps a prize – let’s see how good the argument is!
