| Sound off: Did ex-NDP candidate Potts cross the line?
After levelling serious allegations against Saskatchewan Party leader Brad Wall and his father, the NDP's Swift Current candidate, Jeff Potts, stepped down on Monday.
Potts, who was running against Wall for the Swift Current seat, confirmed he wrote on rabble.ca's discussion forum under the name Famouspipeliner. In discussing the Saskatchewan election on the forum, Potts posted a message on Oct. 15 claiming Wall's father John, a Swift Current city councillor, owns some low-rent properties in the city and was putting his son's campaign signs on the rental properties.

The hardest part about shooting the movie was choosing what of Ledger would make the "Dark Knight" and what wouldn't, Nolan said. Each time, he would think about how he would later have Ledger in the screening room, showing him the final product, and how he would have to justify it. "I would visualize the screening where we'd have to show him the finished film -- sitting three or four rows behind him, watching the movements of his head for clues to what he was thinking about what we'd done with all that he'd given us," Nolan said.
