i just woke up and had a dream about nonexistent cutscenes to a nonexistent sonic game and i’m so mad it’s not real it was so cute. the cast was sonic, knuckles, rouge, and shadow, but there was also these two old human guys and one of their daughters, or both their daughter idk. the plot was the two old human guys were business partners and best friends but then they were going through a divorce era cause they each screwed each other over in business or something and hated each other so fucking much. and they built an absurdist non-euclidian abstract torture labyrinth as representation of their divorce. years later they’re for real trying to kill each other so the daughter asks sonic and co for help unraveling the secrets of the labyrinth.
idk why it was those 4 specific characters but knuckles and shadow both had dope outfits and were interacting way more than they ever have. shadow had a spiked leather jacket, shades, and platform combat boots. knuckles had his ova hat and a poncho, and his spines were pulled back into a ponytail. sonic and rouge were normal though. the artstyle of the game was like, pseudo low-poly, but they were textured like they were made of like clay or gummies and the lighting was really incredible, like rtx bullshit nice, subsurface scattering up the wazoo. but the humans were flat animated pngs in the 3d environments. like smile for me but like stock photo businessmen and teenage girl.
anyway the first area of the absurdist torture labyrinth was a airport lounge buffet that was entirely shades of beige. the window outside had no airplane or airport it was a perpetual sunset over water. the outside of the building they’re in can’t be seen from any angle. the buffet only served this one chocolate raspberry cream tart, but every time the camera looked away and looked back there was more of it. there was just one plate at first and then plates of the tart covered every single surface. sonic and rouge were talking about how all of this is definitely not normal in any way. the girl was just eating a slice of the tart the entire time
the scene cuts to one of the businessmen standing on some steps leading up to a nice apartment building carrying a briefcase and a bottle of wine. he speaks directly to the camera and says he’s bringing a bottle of wine made by the same company as the tart to the other guy’s apartment to smooth things over. then we follow him walking up like 6 flights of stairs and walking down hallways for like 3 minutes straight with no music no talking just the sounds of him walking and his clothes shuffling. he reaches a door and unlocks it, steps in and heads straight for the floor to ceiling window. immediately the the sound of the shower running is evident from when the apartment door was opened, and a woman’s voice coming from the shower says “hello?! who are you? why are you in my apartment? please leave. please leave” and etc. the guy ignores all this and from his briefcase he starts pulling out parts and setting up a sniper rifle.
about there i woke up

When my friend and I decide to have an impromptu FaceTime call cross-continents, we both showed up wearing our Forest Hill fitf shirt (the one she sneakily got me as a surprise). We both laughed for a good 10 mins before managing to get a word in. After the shitshow with air Canada and my still mia luggage, it was a little bright spot in my day🌞

From Chester to Cattlewash
Meet George and Barbara Wilson – unofficial Canadian ambassadors to idyllic Barbados.
Written By Richard Perry
Tumblr media
Nova Scotia natives George and Barbara Wilson have made 27 trips to Barbados.
Driving north on the Ermy Bourne Highway it was becoming harder to keep our eyes on the road. To our right, three thousand miles of uninterrupted Atlantic swells were breaking on the beach. To our left, the sloping green hills of eastern Barbados displayed lush vegetation and the swaying leaves of breadfruit and coconut trees.
But as we passed giant Round Rock (an Instagram favourite), we saw the smiling Barbara Wilson, waving from her lawn in front of the big green cottage she had told us to look for “just across from the rock.”
We’d arrived in Cattlewash, named years ago when farmers walked their cattle down to the beach so saltwater could provide some relief to fly bites. These days it is a tiny rural neighbourhood serving two ends of the age spectrum: retirees looking to get away from it all and hipster surfers from around the world who ride giant waves in international competitions.
“Welcome to Cattlewash. Come on in.” said George. “May I offer you a drink…rum punch perhaps?”
The Wilsons have lived in several Maritime communities during their careers, but now make their home in Chester, Nova Scotia.
George is a tall, boyishly handsome 84-year old, a former head of sales for Kraft/General Foods in Atlantic Canada. With his velvety smooth, measured voice he could pass for a diplomat, well-suited to moving in high circles.
Barbara, now 80, was a nurse and wound care specialist who trained at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. More than once she’s had to treat friends on the island for everything from heat stroke to burns from a leaking gas stove.
Like her husband, Barbara has fallen in love with the Bajan people and their lifestyle.
“On some level, we equate it to the openness and friendliness of Newfoundland, which we both love,” she said. In their sailing days, they cruised the southwest coast, visiting outports and making friends with locals who helped tie up their boat. One couple invited them to their wedding.
We’d been tipped off about the Wilsons by fellow Nova Scotian John Cavill, a retired Air Canada public relations executive and a current representative for Barbados Tourism Marketing, Inc. In a country that relies heavily on tourism dollars and foreign exchange revenue, loyal repeat vacationers like the Wilsons are routinely feted at glitzy events hosted by the Prime Minister. This year marked their 27th trip to ‘Little England.’
“At our reception, two children in their school uniforms opened our car door,” said Barbara. “They were so polite and engaging. Inside, we were met with steel pan drums and children singing Beautiful Barbados.”
Beautiful, beautiful Barbados Gem of the Caribbean Sea Come back to my island Barbados Come back to my island and me.
Please me come back where the night winds are blowing Come back to the surf and the sea You’ll find rest, you’ll find peace in Barbados Come back to my island and me.
“We shook hands with Prime Minister Stuart that night. I told him we’re from Nova Scotia, and that along with Newfoundland we’ve always had a wonderful history of trade with Barbados. I said ‘We always sent salt, fish and lumber. In return, you gave us rum and sugar. We got the better part of that deal!’”
The Prime Minister of Cattlewash
Not five minutes into our hors d’oevres and rum punch, it’s clear why this Canadian couple has no trouble filling the cottage with guests. They are gracious hosts and love to share stories. Their friendships with Bajan neighbours and other vacationers have led to some creative hijinx.
“We have had fun jokingly forming our own government at Cattlewash,” said George. “We had a prime minister who was from Montreal, a Dr. Doug Kinnear who was the doctor for the Montreal Canadiens. He and his wife Katie have been down for about ten or fifteen years, living near us. So we had our ‘government’ meetings'. Barb, as a former nurse, was going to be minister of health. I was minister or tourism or something along those lines.
“Unfortunately, Doug died just last year. So last night at our party we held our glasses up to honour Prime Minister Doug Kinnear of Cattlewash. He was a colourful character. He always had stories about the Habs.”

I found an obituary of their friend. He led the Canadiens’ medical team from 1962 to 1999. During that time, they won an impressive 12 Stanley Cups.
All roads lead to rum
It’s said of Barbados that wherever you see a church, you’ll find at least one rum shack nearby. We checked. It’s true. There are said to be as many as 1,700 rum shacks – on an island only 21 miles long by 14 miles wide!
I was curious if our new friends were fans of the tried and true Bajan rum punch recipe of one part sour, two parts sweet, three parts strong and four parts weak. “Actually, we leave out the weak…the water or juice. Ice cubes are all you really need.”
Seated on their patio, with the ocean in full view and a noisy surf soundtrack, we got into some good stories. Like the time they showed up in the local church, the only whites in the congregation, and the pastor, Father Matthias, invited them to stand up and announce to the flock who they were and where they were from.
“We gave our names and where we’re from in Canada,” said George. “It was pretty quiet. I told them we came because of the warmth of the people, who are very special and then added that we also came for … the Bajan macaroni pie. That’s when they got excited and broke into applause.”
An inauspicious welcome
George still recalls their first day in Barbados back in the late sixties. “In all our excitement, in the darkness I rushed into the water and had no sooner stepped in when I told my friend Bill, a doctor, that I thought a shark had bitten my foot, the pain was that bad. I had stepped on sea urchins. I had 40 barbs in each foot. I spent two weeks with my feet in buckets trying to get them out.”
In Barbados, everything is close. At 432 square kilometres (166 square miles), the entire island covers roughly the same area as St. John’s, Newfoundland. One minute you’re facing the calmer waters on the west coast, where play is the order of the day. Pasty white tourists, mostly from the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States fill the beach chairs and restaurants.
Tumblr media
The Wilsons’ front yard view, where the Ermy Bourne Highway skirts the Atlantic Ocean in eastern Barbados.
But head a few miles inland and the landscape changes dramatically. The terrain rises through sugar cane fields, past roadside neighbourhoods (with ubiquitous rum shops) past an occasional long-abandoned windmill. When you climb Cherry Tree Hill facing the wild east coast, the view is stunning – one of those stop and stare moments. It’s hard not to imagine the country’s colonial past and these very fields where slaves worked unbearable days in oppressive heat.
Soon, the twisty, bumpy roads wind down toward sea level and the untamed east coast where the Wilsons have found their Shangri-La, where it is quiet and scenic – just the way they like it.
Tumblr media
George and Barbara point to where they like to go for walks. Cattlewash has a beautiful one mile stretch of unbroken beach – said to be among the longest in Barbados.
“We’ve stayed in Sunset Crest in Holetown, and we like to visit,” said Barbara. “and we’ve had a safari tour into places that are like jungles, so dense and gorgeous. But when we come over that hill and in view of the sea and feel the trade winds, ahhh…coming down the hill…everything falls off and it is so lovely seeing the sea.”

Get ready for a celebration of Canadian athletic spirit! Air Canada has proudly renewed its longstanding partnership with the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) and Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC) as the Official Airline of Team Canada. This exciting new agreement extends to the 2030 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, solidifying Air Canada's unwavering commitment to supporting Canadian athletes on their journey to international glory. Air Canada Renews Taking Flight with Team Canada The announcement, marked by an event in Toronto, boasts not only an extended partnership but also a visually stunning symbol of this unwavering commitment. Air Canada unveiled a special Boeing 777 adorned with a unique Team Canada livery. This aircraft will have the distinct honor of transporting Canadian Olympians, Paralympians, coaches, and support staff to and from the upcoming Games. Expressing his enthusiasm, Michael Rousseau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada, stated, "We're honored to extend our partnership... as Team Canada's Official Airline through 2030, including for Paris 2024." He emphasized their dedication to showcasing Canada's excellence on the global stage while cheering on the nation's top athletes in their pursuit of Olympic and Paralympic success. This renewed partnership signifies Air Canada's commitment to #FlyTheFlag for the next four Olympic and Paralympic Games. Over 1,000 Team Canada athletes and delegation members will be transported to Paris 2024 aboard Air Canada flights. The airline's "Going for Gold" employee program will ensure a smooth and hassle-free travel experience, allowing athletes to focus on their peak performance. A Legacy of Support: Mutual Appreciation The excitement is shared by both parties. David Shoemaker, CEO and Secretary General of the COC, expressed his delight at extending this longstanding relationship: "For more than 30 years, Air Canada's passion for Team Canada has been remarkable." He lauded their exceptional travel arrangements, which consistently empower athletes to compete at their best on the world stage. Karen O'Neill, CEO of the CPC, echoed these sentiments. She acknowledged Air Canada's dedication to collaboration with the Paralympic community, ensuring a seamless and comfortable travel experience for Paralympic athletes. Looking forward to the Paris 2024 Games, she expressed confidence in Air Canada's ability to provide a safe and efficient journey. This strong partnership will undoubtedly extend beyond Paris, strengthening over the next six years as they work together to support athletes in achieving their Paralympic goals. Going Beyond Transportation: A Celebration of Canadian Values Air Canada's commitment extends far beyond simply transporting athletes. They recognize and celebrate the embodiment of Canadian values – diversity, inclusivity, openness, and kindness – that Team Canada athletes represent. Special services and dedicated transportation are offered to all Team Canada athletes traveling to the Games. Additionally, Air Canada goes above and beyond with initiatives such as: Extending complimentary 35K Aeroplan Elite status through their Podium Program. Providing personalized Care & Share packages to enhance in-flight comfort, including amenity kits and memorabilia for athletes to share at the Games. Establishing a significant on-site presence at both Canada Olympic House and Canada Paralympic House in Paris. This allows them to showcase the best of Canada and aviation hospitality, while actively cheering on Team Canada with attendees. Hosting celebratory airport events for athletes departing and returning from the Games. Team Air Canada Athlete Ambassadors: Inspiring Excellence Further solidifying their support, Air Canada has announced a captivating initiative – 10 Team Air Canada athlete ambassadors. These exceptional athletes not only excel in their respective sports but also embody the core values of Canada. They serve as an inspiration for Air Canada and the nation as a whole. The inaugural Team Air Canada athlete ambassadors include: Luguentz Dort – Basketball (Montreal, Quebec) Philip Kim – Breaking (Vancouver, B.C.) Pierce LePage – Athletics (Whitby, Ontario) Adriana Leon – Soccer (King City, Ontario) Josh Liendo – Swimming (Toronto, Ontario) Zak Madell – Wheelchair Rugby (Edmonton, Alberta) Summer McIntosh – Swimming (Toronto, Ontario) Cindy Ouellet – Wheelchair Basketball (Quebec City, Quebec) Marissa Papaconstantinou – Para Athletics (Toronto, Ontario) Aurélie Rivard – Para Swimming (St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec) This athlete ambassador program is designed to continue, with new athletes being selected for each of the 2026, 2028, and 2030 Games.
