    by Andrew Powell November 12, 2020

    Travellers to Canada will soon need to provide more information about their stay, and how they will self-isolate for the required 14 days as part of new measures that the Government of Canada introduced to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

    Local road trips are your best bet for 2020 travel

    by W. Andrew Powell June 8, 2020
    by W. Andrew Powell June 8, 2020

    What did you expect this year? Not this, I imagine, and if you were planning a holiday, there’s certainly some good news ahead, but there’s also a new reality we need to embrace.

    by W. Andrew Powell January 14, 2019

    On June 1, 2019, Canada’s rules for piloting drones are set to change, and while the new rules include new regulatory steps, including pilot certification and drone registration, they also make flying a drone simpler in a few key ways as well.

    Rick Mercer’s rant: Go see Canada

    by W. Andrew Powell April 12, 2018
    by W. Andrew Powell April 12, 2018

    Rick Mercer finished 15 seasons of the Rick Mercer Report this week, and I’m going to miss him, but I also can’t help but be excited to see what he does next. He also made a great point in his final rant for the show, and it really got me excited about Canada.

    Newfoundland in the Ford Edge | St. John’s to Fogo Island Inn

    by W. Andrew Powell December 5, 2017
    by W. Andrew Powell December 5, 2017

    Canada is breathtaking. From coast to coast to coast, and along the border, Canada is a place of discovery, and even for those of us who live here, there are new adventures around every corner. In the fall, my family and I had a trip of a lifetime when we drove a 2017 Ford Edge from St. John’s, Newfoundland to the stunning Fogo Island, and stayed at the Fogo Island Inn.

    Gord Downie’s poetic Canadian soul

    by W. Andrew Powell October 18, 2017
    by W. Andrew Powell October 18, 2017

    I was 17 when I first saw Gord Downie perform, and it was a performance that I will never forget. Downie was mesmerizing, powerful, and otherworldly, and that night he seemed ready to fly out of his own skin as he sang.

    Director’s Cut: Canadian cinema and television legend Ted Kotcheff

    by Christopher Heard April 5, 2017
    by Christopher Heard April 5, 2017

    Hailing from Toronto’s own Cabbagetown neighbourhood, I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Canadian film and television legend Ted Kotcheff. In these days of instant celebrity gained by many who have done absolutely nothing worth celebrating, it is wonderfully refreshing and gratifying to sit down with someone who not only had to fight his way up through the ranks but who actually blazed a number of original trails along the way.

    Director Andrew Cividino talks ‘Sleeping Giant’

    by W. Andrew Powell April 18, 2016
    by W. Andrew Powell April 18, 2016

    “It’s been an incredible journey,” director Andrew Cividino admits. Ever since his film Sleeping Giant debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in 2015, it’s been very well received everywhere its been, from the Toronto International Film Festival, to the 29 countries and 45 festivals where it screened around the world. Then, the indie success story topped itself thanks to Toronto audiences who recently helped the film earn North America’s highest film per screen average during its opening weekend.

    Canada, get out and vote!

    by W. Andrew Powell October 19, 2015
    by W. Andrew Powell October 19, 2015

    Today is the day, Canada. It’s one of the most important events in this country, and that’s because we all need to get out and vote. The election race has been long and tiring, and no matter what the polls say, nothing happens until you actually go and cast your vote.

    Making ‘Hyena Road’: A conversation with Paul Gross

    by Christopher Heard October 7, 2015
    by Christopher Heard October 7, 2015

    For Canadian actor, writer, director, and producer Paul Gross, the term “daunting task” doesn’t seem to exist anywhere in his common lexicon. Previous to this hugely-scaled film on the Canadian campaign in the Afghanistan war, Hyena Road, he tackled Canada’s role in The Great War in Passchendaele, so when the opportunity presented itself to hang out with Paul Gross for a morning’s worth of Hyena Road conversation, I had to find out what his definition of a daunting task meant.
