Was on a show, created a show called Letter Kenny.
Which is a very, very Canadian show.
Maybe not to everyone's taste as as as as things should be.
And the reason he did this was because he came to L.A.
and they were like, you're too Canadian, you're too this, you're too that.
And he's like, fuck it, I'm going to go back home and I'm going to make my own show.
And then he spun it off into this thing, Shorzy, and Shorzy's about this...
He plays on the local men's hockey team.
And it's kind of the point of pride for the small town in Northern Ontario that they live called Sudbury.
And over the course of the series, they win the championship.
Then he becomes a coach and he tries to teach the kids.
And it's a tremendous show because it highlights most of the people in power that are running things are women.
Many of them are First Nations, Indigenous Canadians.
