TORONTO – More than 850,000 Canadians under the age of 29 are unemployed and without any post-secondary education or training, which could potentially cost the country billions.

TORONTO – Once in a lifetime, when super concerts like the Eras Tour of Taylor Swift is held in your backyard, the temptation becomes monumental to not check it out. If people from far away places travel to the city just for this, why not a Torontonian like me. It is very seldom a super show comes to Toronto and the municipal government tries to help and boost the show. After all, it generates millions of dollars for its coffers. Surprisingly, the show is sold out despite the current struggling economy.
RIO DE JANEIRO – Twenty-two pages to reiterate, in 85 points, the commitment “to building a just world and a sustainable planet, while leaving no one behind” …maybe even taxing the super-rich properly.

TORONTO – “Respect for Meredith”. That’s what residents of Perugia are demanding from their Mayor after she permitted Hulu [the Disney owned streaming service] to start filming Blue Moon in their city.

TORONTO – Coincidentally, days after my teenage sons and I were discussing hypothetical crossovers in the comic book world – in which my eldest son suggested John Wick should team up with Batman – Italian Producer Andrea Iervolino announced additional cast members to his much buzzed about Indie-Superhero flick Bunny-Man. The project already included an eclectic cast ranging from Boxing Legend Mike Tyson, to a semi-blacklisted James Franco to Bella Thorne – a former Disney star and Actress/Director who dipped her toes in Only Fans. Adding to this hotchpotch of actors, Andrea Iervolino recently announced the addition of Italian talents Michele Morrone and Franco Nero.
