ET Canada

“It’s been a hard time. I’m not gonna lie. A lot of emotions right now, from profound sadness to absolute heartbreak to feelings of immense pride,” he said of the CBC comedy's abrupt cancelation after five seasons in an Instagram video while wearing a baseball cap reading "BITTER." “There’s a lot to unpack. I’m not happy with the way this all ended, this is not the way I thought this was gonna end… but I’m gonna focus on, first and foremost, the fans.
