Remembrance Sunday is a time to think about those who often had no choice but to perform heroic acts on our behalf. I’m thinking of my hero, Simon.
"Despite shrapnel wounds to his legs and burns to his back and face, Simon was all that stood between the rats and the crew’s essential supplies"

In Budget 2026, we’re backing the Canadian artists who tell our stories.
That means if you’re a Canadian artist, you won’t pay tax on up to $45,000 of income derived from your creative work.

Martin Short's performance as Larry David is hands down the best acting I've seen in my entire life. For a long while I thought it actually was Larry David.
the nfl on fox panel has barely finished discussing the eagles game when they introduce their newest sideline reporter: george santos, a man whose football résumé apparently includes more championships than tom brady and statistics that seem to have been calculated by throwing several sports into a blender. bowen yang plays him with the confidence of somebody who believes a fact becomes official once it's delivered into a microphone. 36 completions out of 25 passes? twelve touchdowns, seventeen rebounds and ten rbis? why stop there? at this rate, he won the super bowl, the nba finals and the world series before lunch. the panel keeps asking ordinary questions, and santos keeps handing them extraordinary reasons to regret asking.

If someone behaves negatively towards you, it helps to remember that he or she is a human being like you and to distinguish between an action and the person who does it. If counter measures are needed to prevent someone doing harm, it's always better to do it with a calm rather than an agitated mind. If you act out of anger, the best part of your brain fails to function. Remember, compassion is not a sign of weakness.
