Air Canada Incident Cancels Toronto Show

Renowned British cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, known for his performance at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, was forced to cancel a Toronto concert after Air Canada denied his cello a pre-booked seat. Kanneh-Mason and his sister, pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason, were on a North American tour and scheduled to perform at Koerner Hall on Wednesday. In a joint statement, the siblings apologized to fans, explaining they experienced flight delays, a cancellation, and ultimately, were denied boarding for their final flight to Toronto because of the cello, despite having a confirmed seat for the instrument. They spent nine hours at the airport before realizing they wouldn't make it. The musicians expressed their hope for standardized airline policies regarding the carriage of instruments in cabins. Kanneh-Mason’s cello, a 1700 Matteo Goffriller worth €3 million ($3.15 million), is on indefinite loan to him. The […]

Canada Post Strike Nears End as Government Considers Back-to-Work Order

The Canada Post strike could end as early as next week, as Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon is considering a back-to-work order. MacKinnon believes negotiations have stalled and will ask the Canada Industrial Relations Board to decide if intervention is necessary. If approved, this would force postal workers to resume work under the current collective agreement until May 22, 2025. This comes after a four-week strike that has halted mail and package deliveries across the country. While a negotiated agreement is still possible, it would need to happen quickly. The union has strongly criticized the potential government intervention, calling it an “assault” on their bargaining rights. Canada Post, on the other hand, has stated they look forward to welcoming employees back to work. In addition to the potential back-to-work order, MacKinnon is ordering an inquiry into why negotiations broke down. This […]

Bello was arraigned on Friday on a 16-count charge of money laundering brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Amanda Seyfried to Star in Musical Film “Ann Lee”

Amanda Seyfried, who was previously considered for the role of Glinda in Jon M. Chu's "Wicked," will be lending her musical talents to a different project. She is set to star in "Ann Lee," a historical musical film directed by Mona Fastvold, co-writer of the upcoming film "The Brutalist." "Ann Lee" tells the story of Ann Lee, the religious leader who founded the Shaker Movement in the late 1770s. Lee was revered by her followers as the female embodiment of Jesus Christ, and her worshippers expressed their devotion through song and dance, making the musical genre a fitting choice for this biographical film. The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Christopher Abbott, Thomasin McKenzie, Lewis Pullman, Tim Blake Nelson, Stacy Martin, Matthew Beard, and more. Daniel Blumberg, the Golden Globe-nominated composer of "The Brutalist," has created original songs for […]
