In places like Cape Breton, the vibrancy of the season is on full display in the leaves. Reds wrapped in green. Golds that glow. Oranges to punctuate a canopy of colour.
“The trees here are just super yellow. I’ve never seen them so bright,” said Josh Lohnes, a cinematographer and owner of AnchorVIewMedia, who draws inspiration from the fall colours.
With a kaleidoscope to capture, he’s not merely motivated by beauty but time. It doesn’t matter that he summited mountains in Cape Breton last fall to catch the colours. To appreciate all of autumn’s angles, he did it again.
“Just the urgency. Knowing it doesn’t last very long,” said Lohnes. “Every sunset varies and no sunset is the same, nor every season is the same.”

While Canada is well known for its accomplishments in space — including building the robotic arms used on the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station — the country still has no ability to launch its own satellites. This week, Ottawa committed nearly a quarter‑billion dollars towards changing that.

It’s an enduring stereotype that Canadians are unfailingly nice, quick to apologize even when they have done nothing wrong. But an online urban legend claims the opposite of Canada’s soldiers, painting a picture of troops so brazen in their brutality that international laws were rewritten to rein them in.
