Anne: The CBC’s Timeless Canadian Girl?

The new CBC series “Anne,” revisits the most popular Canadian narrative of all time “Anne of Green Gables,” and opens with a sequence of striking vignettes created by a US studio (Imaginary Forces) based on the work of a US artist (Brad Kunkle). Hmm.

The music however, “Ahead by a Century” by The Tragically Hip, is as Canadian as it gets.
