This sign asks the pertinent question: are NYC bagels even bagels?

On Canadian Sesame Street this was a much-loved example of such a meditative art film with kick-ass music.

You can't be serious. Having watched Kevin O'Leary for 6 years on Dragons' Den, his embrace of the current American administration at Canada's expense could not possibly be more predictable.

Ah yes, that beautiful 3-day Montreal season between miserable winter and super-hot and humid summer!

The American administration has started a trade war with Canada. In this context, it's worth keeping in mind that all of these sources of news are American owned.

Process their content accordingly...and maybe it's time to switch your news source.

The Montreal Logo - Spacing Montreal It’s a symbol that’s familiar to all Montrealers. It appears on street signs, official correspondence, libraries, city vehicles, and city councillors’ lapels, to name just a few. But where did it come...

I love the symbol, but its backstory is not particularly glamorous or historically rich. spacing.ca/montreal/200...

It’s a good news bad news kind of morning. Sure, the good guys won the hockey game. But it’s still sad to think we won’t see the amazing Kerry Galusha at next year’s Scotties… 🥌

I've had both these for more than 10 years and still find new recipes to try when I pull them out for a re-read.

I'm an anglophone federalist living in Quebec and agree with Carney on this question 100%.
