What a month. BP's oil spill still gushing in the Gulf, a toxic smell rising from the Basi-Virk trial in Vancouver, and a gusher of sleaze flowing past the gargoyles on the Parliament buildings, as MPs from all four parties locked arms to prevent inspection of their finances.

It's tempting to ask anyone involved with The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus -- the upcoming film from the mad genius of Terry Gilliam -- all sorts of intrusive questions. After all, Gilliam was in Vancouver when he learned about the death of the film's star, Heath Ledger.
