TORONTO – Marvel enlisted two of Italy’s most famous football captains, Francesco Totti and Alessandro Del Piero, to help herald the release of Captain America: Brave New World in Italy. Starring as the World War II Superhero is Anthony Mackie. The Louisiana-born actor made his debut in the Eminem Biopic 8 Mile (2002), and eventually earned global recognition playing Falcon in Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014). For Italians [and the rest of the world] the crossover promotion makes perfect sense since football icons enjoy as much fame globally as celebrities do in Hollywood.

TORONTO – Second snowstorm in a few days in Toronto: after last Thursday’s one (25 centimeters of snow), another one arrived between Saturday and Sunday and literally “blanketed” Toronto under a soft and white cover. About thirty centimeters of snow, which added to the 25 that had already fallen a few days earlier. →
TORONTO – Since my first election to Parliament Hill in Ottawa, it has received public investments for repair, refurbishing and restoration that are mind-boggling. From1988-1995, the project received $100 million (a lot of money at the time!), then most recently in 2018, a contract worth $5 billion was allocated to complete the project. It being a government contract, and Ottawa being the most unpredictable National capital, weather wise, in the world, that number is likely to be revised upward.
