Hooray for Canada!
The first day of the #OCanada Blogathon features terrific reviews of films from a variety of genres, including romance, adventure, drama and horror – films as varied as Canada itself.
Other entries focus the careers of some famous and talented Canadians.
Bloggers: If we missed you today, don’t worry. We’ll include you in tomorrow’s recap.
In the meantime, please enjoy today’s fabulous entries. They are Canuck Approved!
