I was shocked to read that flying, as it turns out, is not a huge transmitter of COVID. Is it risk free? No but with all the precautions that airlines (Air Canada in particular) are taking to ensure optimum safety, it is not as bad as you might have thought and by giving airlines the summer to get their [...]

Tonight is the night, the show of the summer sky so gather up the kids and head outside somewhere dark where you can see the stars to witness the Perseid meteor shower. It peaks tonight and the weather forecast looks good. The Perseids, named after the Perseus constellation, are bits of the comet Swift-Tuttle [...]

Unfortunately, all theatres are closed for the time being and I can only imagine what that is doing to their revenue. While stages are quiet and seats empty, the show must go on.

Not only is he an amazing actor, he is a fantastic playwright who lyrically tackles subject matter that is always fascinating [...]

Kiinalik: These Sharp Tools opened last night at the Great Canadian Theatre Company and it is an uncomfortable, unsettling, powerful, raw and absolutely beautiful piece of theatre. It is part concert, part conversation between two women and the audience, part magical journey through the North and Inuk [...]

Decadent. That is the first word that comes to mind when trying to describe San Francisco. It is a mecca for well, everything good. Beauty, vitality, fine dining, joie de vivre, eclectic night life, diversity and acceptance – and chocolate (Ghirardelli chocolates is based there). It is a vibrant [...]
