Schitt’s Creek was stationed at Casa Loma in Toronto to accept Emmy Awards that were handed over from Hollywood, because no public event can transpire without plenty of precautions.

“Mega Meet 2.0” was the billing for an automotive gathering that landed in a Cineplex parking lot in Ancaster, Ontario, which police are investigating with hope of charging the organizers.

John Turner dead at 91. While elected eight times as a Liberal MP between 1962 and 1993—with a nine-year interlude as a lawyer on Bay Street—he was best known for his 11 weeks as prime minister in the summer of 1984. Turner also once had a relationship with Princess Margaret that letters found in 2015 suggested a possibility of marriage.


Finally, a never-ending present

Gord Downie recorded an album in Bath, Ontario, in the last three months of his life, with Skydiggers guitarist Josh Finlayson and other musicians, including his drummer son, Louis Downie.
