TSN and NBC announcer Gord Miller offered some criticism about Barstool Sports in response to a question about whether he’d appear on its hockey podcast.

Bell Média has brought back Maripier Morin for a new season of the immersive documentary series Mais Pourquoi? It was one of many jobs the actress lost after being accused of sexual harassment and racism last July. Three months later, Morin issued a mea culpa.

Alberta’s energy war room has spent a week fighting a cartoon on Netflix. Bigfoot Family was targeted with a petition from the Canadian Energy Centre, which is backed by the provincial government, on the grounds that it disparages the oil and gas industry. Jason Kenney doubled down to defend the campaign, even as the ridicule for it grew.


Finally, the un-cancelled clone

Boba Fett was introduced on 1978’s Star Wars Holiday Special, which stays an officially buried part of the franchise. But this segment is now set for streaming on Disney Plus. The Story of the Faithful Wookiee, produced by Nelvana in Toronto, had the late actor Don Francks voicing the Mandalorian bounty hunter. It’s also viewable on YouTube:
