As it turns out, it also led me to a friends birthday party at the drag bar Crews and Tangos in Torontos gay village. In the shows dystopian version of America a totalitarian society where fertile women are child-bearing slaves Canada does get to play a supporting role in the narrative: like in Atwoods novel, our country is a safe haven for the characters to escape to (though only some are lucky enough to get here). But its Nathans arc that really messes with truth and fiction. We featured Zadie Xa this past year at CBC Arts, and she sums up one of my favourite things about being part of this team: we get to talk about artists who celebrate their cultural heritage and their Canadian identity, and then watch as they take it all over the world.

He pitches them a custom marketing strategy, something so original that it rockets a few solar systems beyond the realm of common decency: maybe poo-flavoured fro-yo to court publicity (Episode 1), or a scheme to sell liquor to minors (booze is stashed on premises til theyre legal). How great to see our talented kids succeed!Are they going to come back? When it comes to the top-grossing movies of the decade, theres not much in the way of variety. Chandler Levack is a writer and a filmmaker who is currently existing in Toronto. Like the hungry overachievers we are, we then succeeded wildly, all over your face. The Toronto comedian seemed to fear no one, brought receipts to every argument and created a safe place for like minds who were as angry, confused and scared as she appeared to be. Thats just the basic formula, but from the first episode, NFY was engineering something grander than a five-year troll. Martin is currently working on musical adaptations of The Princess Bride and Night at the Museum, a sequel to The Drowsy Chaperone, as well as the Netflix film adaptation of The Prom starring Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman. has a leading 14 nominations including best TV drama series and best actress in a continuing drama series for star Tatiana Maslany, who appears as a host of cloned characters on the hit show.

Scott (Michael Cera) falls for Ramona (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), but before they can go on a semi-normal date, hell have to K.O. Even better (and more relevant to 2019), two years after the records release, Shania announced plans for a 23-date Las Vegas residency, where shell be playing well into 2020. dollars.) And that doesnt just mean coming out anymore: it means ensuring less privileged or famous creative queer folks get a chance to thrive, or using opportunities on public stages (like Page sure did on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert earlier this year) to remind people it is not OK that we live in a society where homophobia and transphobia still exist so violently. Cop Here are 10 times the internet swooned over the musings and (apparent) misadventures of Keanu Reeves.

Instead of relying on non-Indigenous editors, Barton made the smart decision to invite Philip Kevin Paul, Richard Van Camp and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson to edit the issue. At the tail-end of this decade, right when we need it most, Alanis has turned Jagged Little Pill into a musical with a book written by Diablo Cody. Having hosted several hundred performances and built an incredible artistic community, the duo used their announcement to remind fans and the media that their intention was never to be a permanent institution but a transient space that reflected their romantic relationship (which had since come to an end). As raw and unflinching as Betroffenheit is, writes Judith Mackrell, you come away from it with a wild feeling of exhilaration uplifted by its courage, its coruscating beauty and by the faith it affirms in the power of art to address emotions that lie beyond reason or words. That those emotions derive from Youngs real-life tragedy what Pite calls the engine of the work makes the accomplishment all the more extraordinary. And Grey Enterprises? Over four seasons, the greatest and most elaborate stunt Nathan for You ever produced was the series itself. This extended to the literary realm as well.

Canadas got your back. Prisons are terrifying its hard for me to even watch the caricatured version you see in Orange is the New Black. Six short months after grieving in public in the middle of a Montral winter, Dion emerges at Paris Fashion Week in what is arguably her first break the Internet moment: she is seen waving at the camera, wearing a $885 USD Titanic sweater. So imagine the delight of the nation when Now, Twains first studio album in 15 years, debuted at No. The Vancouver Winter Olympic Games help kick off a new decade. Those who are worthy are scooped up to heaven, while unworthy souls are doomed to spend an eternity in hell. It was later nominated for eight Canadian Screen Awards. Its a thrill to see the common themes, patterns and interests of these artists emerge in their work to find the guiding tropes of love and living fully with the ones closest to you in Dolans work; the fascination with existential mysteries on Earth and beyond in Villeneuves; the exploration of personal differences and uneasy human reconciliations in Valles; and the deep humanism in Falardeaus and Archambaults. When one actor paraded around bare-assed (boxers pulled up into his butt crack for comedic effect) between takes of Tats big crying scene, she like any great Canadian artist, pre-2010 took her bottled-up biliousness and put it into the work, delivering a performance (real tears!)

Since then, its become something to look forward to come (early, early) springtime (or late, late winter) in Canada, and its gotten even bigger thanks to the introduction of Canadian Screen Week, which allows for even more time and attention for well-deserved Canadian productions. Kaurs vulnerability, honesty and seamless ability to convey feelings that so many struggle to articulate helped Milk and Honey find its way onto the New York Times Bestseller list (for more than 77 weeks) and sell approximately 2.5 million copies in 25 languages. It helped turn Marianas Trench into stadium-filling rock stars in Canada, but barely made a splash outside the country.

In addition to announcing her new album, Alanis kicked off the final month of this decade by giving us all second offering of what doesnt always come easy these days: excitement for the future. The group had spent most of the summer on their Man Machine Poem tour, which kicked off in Victoria in July and ended in their hometown of Kingston, Ont., where the sold-out crowd was joined by more than 11 million fans who tuned in to join them. Joining the MCU, while already being such a vocal advocate for Asian representation, gives him a larger platform to spread the message of inclusion.

And the results were a group effort: 57 artists including Drake, Justin Bieber and Nelly Furtado appeared on the track, with money earned going toward charities in Haiti such as Free the Children, War Child Canada and World Vision. And one of the greatest examples happens on top of a mountain, where a vanload of people desperate for as little as a $10.91 rebate subject themselves to a six-hour hike, an overnight camping trip and Nathans endless riddles.
