Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We call it home to SyFy and CW genre productions. Long live Vancouver! I wonder what Colin is doing now?

Huh?

Oh, I was just bitching about that commercial on Twitter. It's all celebs who are native BCers, but almost none of them live in BC anymore. Michael J Fox even became a US citizen.

Worst. Singing. ofthe. National. Anthem. Ever!

Who was that? She looked a bit like a Disney product to me. She has a decent voice, but it was sort poppy for such a majestic anthem.

Who was that?

Her name is Niki something...she's like 14? 15? She's sort of touted as some kind of Jazz singing prodigy.
