Hi, everyone I have been continuing to think about different ways to get this issued covered in the Canadian media. One outlet I keep on coming across is trying to get Steve Paikin on TVO to do a show on FATCA and US Citizenship based taxation in Canada. Paikin’s show tends to cover a lot of issues that don’t get covered anywhere else in the Canadian or US media and is willing to cover issues effected either Canada or the US or both. My thoughts on prospective guests which I might suggest to the producers include Phil Hodgen, Jackie Bugnion, Marylouise Serrato from the “US” and from Canada “Blaze” of Maple Sandbox fame who has a TV background, Arthur Cockfield, someone from the CBA either Maura Drew-Lytle or Darren Hannah, and possibly either a Conservative or NDP MP(Craig Scott, Denise Savoie, Megan Leslie etc). At this time for personal reasons I cannot appear if it ever got to that point although I have to say it would be a dream come true for me to make a TV appearance.
Here is the link to the staff of the show. If any Brockers have a connection to any of these people let me know.

If I don’t hear anything in a couple of days I am going to make my own approach to the producers and hopefully others can reach out and vouch for what I tell them. Additionally suggestions on guests are welcome. I want to give them a good list of people they can reach out and contact who are willing to go on TV.
*As you can see from the video clips they cover both Canadian and American politics
I notice that one of the show’s sponsors is Chartered Accountants of Ontario. I wonder what their take might be on this subject.
