There’s another worthwhile column from the Leader-Post’s politics pundit in today’s paper. Murray Mandryk’s short breakdown on a film industry’s benefit to jobs and small businesses is a must-read:
For example, Sonja Clifton-Remple from Swift Current was eager to get out of this province until she discovered 15 years ago she could pursue a career in costume design here. As the costume designer for the TV series Insecurity, Clifton-Remple said she purchased $100,000 worth of clothing, locally, for this show alone. The movie Just Friends, also dropped about $100,000 on clothing, locally, and even a small movie like the yet-to-be released zombie horror flick 13 Eerie bought $14,000 worth of clothes here.
The whole column is here.
