Listen: “Love Me” by Felix Cartal & Lights

W. Andrew PowellFebruary 28, 2019 12:41 pmFebruary 28, 2019

Here’s a track to warm up your winter, and it’s so great, I’ve got it on repeat. Canadian producer Felix Cartal teamed up with the incredible Lights for the single “Love Me,” a sweet, slick, and fresh groove that will be stuck in your head for days.

Watch: lemin’s “My Body”

W. Andrew PowellFebruary 27, 2019 2:48 pmFebruary 27, 2019

What a single. Toronto singer and songwriter lemin’s soulful “My Body” is a revelation. The track is utterly gorgeous, and lemin’s vocals soar into a sorrowful, and yet uplifting finale that is moving and magical.

Karine Vanasse in Cardinal Season 3

Karine Vanasse on Cardinal season 3

W. Andrew PowellFebruary 27, 2019 10:53 amFebruary 27, 2019

CTV’s Cardinal is one of Canada’s best and most intense dramas. Based on the novels by Giles Blunt, the series is a moody, rich, and mesmerizing crime drama following Detective John Cardinal, played perfectly by Billy Campbell, and his investigative partner, Lise Delorme, played by the incredible Karine Vanasse.

Overlord

Bokeem Woodbine talks Overlord

W. Andrew PowellFebruary 27, 2019 9:31 amFebruary 27, 2019

War is hell, and it’s even more hellish in director Julius Avery’s mashup war/horror film, Overlord. Set on the eve of D-Day, in 1944, the film follows American soldiers who discover a Nazi experiment that brings the dead back to fight again.

Ford & Lincoln technology in the spotlight at CIAS 2019

W. Andrew PowellFebruary 23, 2019 11:31 amFebruary 23, 2019

When you think about Ford, a lot of vehicles may come to mind–and there are definitely some impressive cars, trucks, and SUVs this year at the Canadian International Auto Show–but what about technology?

Umbrella Academy

David Castañeda, Robert Sheehan, and Cameron Britton talk Umbrella Academy

W. Andrew PowellFebruary 21, 2019 11:25 amFebruary 21, 2019

David Castañeda, Robert Sheehan, and Cameron Britton, were pretty relaxed when we sat down to chat about their new series, Umbrella Academy. The trio of actors were lounging around a hotel room barefoot when I met them last week, but they had a lot to say about the series, filming in Toronto, and their co-stars.

Tyler Blackburn in Roswell, New Mexico

Tyler Blackburn talks Alex and Roswell, New Mexico

W. Andrew PowellFebruary 19, 2019 8:09 pmFebruary 19, 2019

Roswell, New Mexico is a busy, complicated little town, and it has some serious problems with aliens. Among all the conflicted, tumultuous storylines though, between aliens and humans, one of the most intense relationships is between Alex Manes, played by Tyler Blackburn, and Michael Guerin (Michael Vlamis).

Arrowhead Provincial Park skating trail

Skating trails, craft beer, and winter adventures | Gravenhurst & Muskoka, Ontario

W. Andrew PowellFebruary 10, 2019 6:27 pmFebruary 10, 2019

If you’re looking for a winter getaway and not sure where to go in Ontario, Gravenhurst and Muskoka are beautiful in winter, and affordable. From Toronto and most of Southern Ontario, the area is also a pretty quick drive, and there’s a lot to do when there’s snow on the ground.

W. Andrew PowellFebruary 9, 2019 1:55 pmFebruary 9, 2019

The DJI Mavic 2 Pro is simply the best drone available today for consumers who want to take great aerial videos. The drone is a big upgrade over the original Mavic, boasts an impressive Hasselblad camera, and it’s fun, robust, and intuitive.

Instagram post 18094335940114294 'Tis the season for incredible whisky, and one of our absolute favourites is @the_macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask.

Aged in both American and European Sherry oak casks, the Scotch has notes of marmalade, spices, and honey with dried fruit and vanilla. It's like a warm hug for winter, and it's perfect neat.

The whisky also pairs phenomenally with dark chocolate, light cheese, nuts, or candied orange.

Plus, if you're looking for something special for Christmas or New Year's Eve, it's hard to top The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask.
