Do you remember Téléfrançais!, a show TVOntario produced 30 episodes of from 1984 to 1986? For some, it has been called a deranged fever dream of a TV show, and the phrase Je suis un ananas! haunts the brains of others. The show was used by educators in schools to teach French as a second-language. The show followed Jacques, Sophie and Ananas, a talking pineapple that lived in a junkyard. Other characters included Pilote, Ginette, Monsieur Pourquoi and Louis Questionneur. There was also the skeletal musical group, Les Squelettes. The show was created by Ken Sobol, who also wrote all of the episodes. Each episode was only 10 minutes long. Jacques was voiced by Jacques Dell, who later went into a VFX career in movies such as V for Vendetta and the Matrix series. Noreen Young voiced Pilote. She went on to form a production company that produced Under the Umbrella Tree, which she also provided the voice of Gloria the Gopher on. Stephen Brathwaite was the voice of Ananas, along with Rene Lemieux. Brathwaite went on to do work for Bride of Chucky and Under the Umbrella Tree, where he voiced Jacob Bluejay. While new episodes ended in 1986, it continued to air on TVO until the mid-1990s. After the show, Ken Sobol went on to write for Under the Umbrella Tree and Pippi Longstocking.

We have the tools. We know it works. We know the cost and the benefits. What we don’t have is political will. So 2 in 5 kids in PEI today are hungry.

Here’s something my international friends don’t know. It it traditional to give your mom “big feed of lobster” on Mother’s Day because the season just opened and it’s our first taste of the sea cockroach that runs our economy.
