: Hi,
:
: This e-mail is about a television series
: filmed in Toronto ,"This is
: Wonderland" featuring so many Canadian
: actors that we all recognize.
:
: Just in the first season alone (which I have
: on DVD) I saw Michael Mahonen (Gus Pike),
: Michael Riley, Cara Pifko (Mavis Prichart),
: Janet-Lane Green (Eliza Pike), Wayne Robson
: (Amos Spry), Catherine Fitch (Selena Dale)
: and Greg Spottiswood (David Haus). I am sure
: there were others that I can't think of at
: the moment.
:
: This is Wonderland is a purely Canadian
: series, is in it's 3rd season - and CBC has
: announced that it plans to cancel the show.
: Yes the show uses very strong language, and
: most of the stories are of an adult nature.
: This is Wonderland is NOT Road to
: Avonlea.... but is showcases Canadian talent
: and deserves another chance.
:
: Below is a URL for a petition that is being
: signed by people who want the show to
: continue.
:
: I went through the list of signatures and
: pulled out a few you might recognize. I have
: listed some of the names at the bottom of
: this e-mail. It would be wonderful if a lot
: more people signed the petition. YOU don't
: have to, but it would be nice if you did. I
: am going to sign it as soon as I send this
: e-mail,
:
: Kitty

: 2631.Michael Mahonen If not this, then
: what else is going to be kept?
:
: 1944. Brenda Bazinet George Walker is a
: Canadian treasure. No one else is writing
: about these people and these issues.
:
: 1490. janet-laine green Keep up the great
: work
:
: 1141. Jayne Eastwood This Is Wonderland,
: because of it's incredible writing showcased
: so many great Canadian actors who rareley
: get a chance to show their stuff.The show is
: unique, brave, different and never boring.
: You won't find another one like it. I know I
: never will People are watching and they are
: talking about it. Huge mistake to cancel
: this show
:
: 1057. Rosemary Dunsmore
:
: 942. Anne Tait This is a highly original
: show, and its craziness is the craziness of
: that real world!! I've seen it in action in
: the courts.
: The series is a showcase for the wealth of
: Canadian talent - but it needs special
: promotion that reflects the bizarre but
: factual nature of
: its "Alice in Wonderland" world.
:
: 827. Cara Pifko In Nova Scotia, when
: Wonderland was given an award by the
: Schizophrenia Society, a woman broke in to
: tears as she discussed how the show
: "validated her life". She is a
: social worker. This show was/is making a
: difference.
:
: 812. David Ferry great writing and
: acting,please keep it.
:
: 740. Lally Cadeau This is not well
: thought out. Honestly, give this show the
: chance to grow and entertain.
:
: 717. JOEL GORDON Not only am I a huge
: fan of this show and the creative team
: behind it, but I also had the privilege of
: working on This
: is Wonderland as an actor. This show offered
: me the opportunity to do my best work on
: screen. Moreoever, the diversity of
: characters and
: storylines in this show, along with the
: complex issues it tackles are unmatched in
: Canadian television. Canceling this show
: would be a huge
: mistake.
