We don’t have corporate funding. We are funded, in part, by financial contributions from our readers. The QZVX mission is to give you the best information possible. Free for everyone to enjoy! Domain lease, web-hosting, fixing bugs, and developing new features, are crucial for this mission. That all comes with a cost to us. If you get value from reading QZVX, please help support it. Our direction will be determined by reader participation. Without your support, an ad-supported QZVX would debut in April 2025.
We prefer to avoid an ad-supported alternative.

Alan Young was born in England but raised in Vancouver BC, so there is a Pacific Northwest connection. He worked for the CBC in Vancouver and Toronto. Read more about Alan at Wikipedia. He passed away in June, 2016 at age 96!!! Working with a talking horse can be good for your health???

The early 60’s pitch to BC advertisers shows Toronto-born actor Alan Young & “Mister Ed”. Deliberate or a coincidence?? Alan Young was well-known to Canadians from his long-time tenure on CBC network radio before Hollywood beckoned & “Mr Ed” enjoyed a short run on CBS. Profiling a show with a familiar Canadian would make sense. Saskatchewan born Art Linkletter, host of CBS’ “House party” would also be a choice for an ad sales pitch.
