Because I am a sucker for punishment, as soon as Canada's Greatest Song ends in a few weeks we will begin our next poll series: Canada's Favourite TV Show.

Make your suggestions! I want a healthy mix of shows from across Canada. French-Canadian, children's, miniseries, docu-series, etc.

The requirement is the show has to be filmed in Canada, as a Canadian production with mostly Canadian actors.
American productions that were filmed in Canada, like The X-Files, won't qualify.

Yes, I know that this has already been done by Justin McElroy a few years ago. Not trying to copy that, just enjoy creating these polls and starting dialogue among my followers.

Contest will begin around May 21.

Mr. Dressup (Ernie Coombs) is a Canadian icon, but puppeteer Judith Lawrence also helped shape our childhoods.

Let's learn more about her!

She came to Canada from Australia at the age of 22 & created Casey & Finnegan while on Butternut Square. When Ernie Coombs started Mr. Dressup, she joined him. She remained on the show until the late-1980s.

Along with creating an iconic part of our childhoods, she also wrote many books in The Young Canada Reading Series, and co-authored books for D.C. Health on women and work.

In the 1960s, she co-founded The Voice of Women and in the 1970s she sat on the National Action Committee on the Status of Women.
She also wrote for publications like Broadside, where she expressed her views on peace.

In 2001, she was awarded the Order of Canada.
She has lived on Hornby Island, British Columbia since she retired, where she is a community leader, farmer and designer of the recycling depot.

Living with her in her home are the original Casey and Finnegan puppets. She even brought them out for a video in March 2020 to encourage people to isolate and socially-distance.

She said that its not unusual for people to begin crying when she brings out the puppets.
