"I thought my life had ended when I broke my knee," Candela said. "And then to lose my skate on top of it!" She gazed at Jake, a smile breaking across her face. "But the skate brought me you.
What is your name?"


On a fake date for the charity ball, will the hockey team captain find his Cinderella?

Bill 5: A Moment to Mobilize for Nature in Ontario Urge Premier Ford to end the attacks on Endangered Species and to stop Bill 5.

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

Endangered species in Ontario are under threat in the form of Bill 5.

If passed, it would scrap the ESA & create β€œspecial economic zones” where developers are exempt from provincial regulations. It also could trample Indigenous rights.
