Wit and substance absent from the House

The creative minds who churn out television series should not ignore the wealth of material unfolding daily on the subject of Parliament as entertainment.

In fact, not much creativity is required to launch a series that might be called All My Parliamentarians, or maybe, As Parliament Hill Turns. There's plot, intrigue, back-room dealings, and enough political cloak-and-dagger to shove aside any need for fiction to get in the way of reality as a good show.

I'm looking for myself on television

THE URBANE INDIAN

Becoming rich in the world of Native arts is like trying to fly while parachuting. You can pretend and fake it all you want, but eventually, the reality of the situation will come rushing at you at approximately 150 kilometres an hour as you're flapping your arms in vain, crying out "Why isn't this working?"

Of course, this could just be me.

I've also learned that should I ever wish to be a world-famous Indigenous actor, I would quite probably have to move to another country. It's because I don't look Native enough.

Windspeaker: What one quality do you most value in a friend?

Lara Mussell: I guess honesty. I value honesty the most, because if you can't get honesty from a friend, where else are you going to get it from, you know? If you have a friend who's fake, then they're not really a friend. I guess honesty, I would value the most. W: What is it that really makes you mad?

L.M.: Disrespect, I think. I just think the world lacks a lot of respect. W: When are you at your happiest?
