  • A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond
    A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond If you walk on and on, you get to your destination. If you question much, you get your information. If you do not sleep and idle, you preserve your life! (Maung Htin Aung 1959:87) So go the three lines of wisdom offered to the lazy student Maung Pauk Khaing in the well- known eponymous folk tale. A group of impoverished village youngsters, led by their teacher Daw Khin Thida, adapted the tale in 2007 in their first attempt to perform a play. From a well-to-do family that does not understand her philanthropic impulses, Khin Thida, an English teacher by profession, works at her free school in Insein, a suburb of Yangon (Rangoon) infamous for its prison. The shy students practiced first in Burmese for their village audience, and then in English for some foreign donors who were coming to visit the school. Khin Thida has also bought land in Bagan (Pagan) and is building a culture center there, hoping to attract the street children who currently pander to tourists at the site’s immense network of temples.

  • Award Presentation to Robert Deluce of Porter Airlines
    1 | P a g e Robert Deluce Award Presentation Wednesday May 17 – 3:30 P.M. – Bushplane Museum [AS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY] Good afternoon everyone, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to participate in today’s ceremony. We are here of course honouring Mr. Robert Deluce, CEO of Porter Airlines, for the positive contributions they have made to our community. This month marks the 5th anniversary since Porter service began in Sault Ste. Marie. In that time, our city’s business sector, tourism sector, and our residents at large have all benefited from having more choice and a greater availability of scheduled air service. The Economic Developers Council of Ontario is holding their spring symposium in Sault Ste. Marie this week and the theme is “Connecting the North to the South.” When you live and work here in the North, there are times when you feel removed from much of the rest of the province. It’s a separation born from geography, but it can be psychological as well. 2 | P a g e Having Porter service in the Sault has helped to bridge some of this physical and mental divide. Since 2011, it has been easier for many Sault residents to travel for health appointments, to school and for vacations. Business travellers have benefitted from convenient service right to downtown Toronto, or on to other major destinations such as Montreal, Chicago and New York. And likewise, being a Porter destination has certainly made Sault Ste. Marie a more reachable place for people in other cities who are considering travelling here—whether for business or pleasure.

  • Porter Airlines Opens Ontario's Muskoka Region to North
    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Distribution Porter Airlines opens Ontario’s Muskoka region to North American travellers with summer service TORONTO / March 25, 2019 – Porter Airlines will be flying to Muskoka Airport with the introduction of 2019 summer service. Popular with outdoor enthusiasts, Muskoka has established itself among the world’s iconic summer retreats. Flights will have an air time of approximately 20 minutes, operating twice weekly on Thursdays and Mondays between Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport and Muskoka Airport, from June 27 to September 3.

  • Music Playlist
    The music that plays over the opening scene is "Henrietta" by The Fratellis from the album ‘Costello Music’. Mercifully dipped just as the lyrics go: “Henrietta we got no flowers for you Just these three miserable c***s sitting on the back seat Banging on the offbeat...” The music that plays over Giles setting off on his tandem to Glastonbury (complete with stupidly massive rucksack) is "Chelsea Dagger " by The Fratellis. The music that plays when we see Giles in his Y-fronts on the roundabout - a little short of Glastonbury - is "Annie Let’s Not Wait" by The Guillemots from the album ‘Through The Windowpane’. The music playing when Giles finally approaches the Glastonbury festival is "When You Were Young" by The Killers from the album ‘When We Were Young.’ When Giles is looking for the elusive 'Other Stage' for Toby, the track that is playing is "Keep The Car Running" by The Arcade Fire from the album ‘Neon Bible’ and then after that "Black Mirror" from the same album. When the director is asking Toby whether Glastonbury has so far lived up to expectations the track playing is "Back To Black" by Amy Winehouse. At 9pm on the Friday evening when Giles still hasn't managed to meet up with Toby and has a 'bit of a cry' by the bins the track playing is "The Seeker" by The Who. At 10pm a tired looking Giles is holding all 6 kebabs outside the kebab stall. The song playing in the background is "Ruby" by The Kaiser Chiefs. At 10:30 Giles is still waiting outside the kebab stall and we can hear "I Predict A Riot" by The Kaiser Chiefs.

  • An Open Letter to the Prime Minister of Canada and All Premiers
    An Open Letter to the Prime Minister of Canada and all Premiers As a society, we have faced a threat like no other, COVID-19. And we are still dealing with it. Under the leadership of our governments, we agreed to implement tough decisions to protect our health and safety. We shut down our schools, our businesses, and our borders. We all made sacrifices and continue to adapt to this new reality. Now, it seems, we are getting through the worst of it. As we re-open, we are learning to live with the virus, not hide from it or from each other. And, just like we are re-opening the front doors of our homes and businesses, we need to re-open the doors of our provinces, territories – and our country. The Canadian travel, tourism and hospitality sector employs 1.8 million people and contributes $102 billion to our economy. It relies on the summer season to survive. As Canadians, we wait all year to travel during the summer. We need the summer. Like you, we believe personal safety is critical. However, many of the travel restrictions currently in place are simply too broad or unnecessary. Limitations on inter-provincial travel that restrict Canadians from freely exploring our country, should be removed. Canadians should be free to travel across Canada. We also need a more targeted approach to international travel. The mandatory 14-day quarantine and complete closure of our country to all visitors from abroad is no longer necessary and is out of step with other countries across the globe.

  • 1 October 25, 2007 Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal Robert
    1 October 25, 2007 Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal Robert Deluce President and CEO, Porter Airlines Remarks Porter Airlines: Taking off into a headwind [CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY] Thank you, Amadou, for your warm introduction. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s my pleasure to be with you this morning. I greatly appreciate this opportunity to address the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal …the voice of commerce for one of Canada’s most important cities and a cornerstone Porter Airlines destination. As you heard earlier, just two days ago we celebrated the first anniversary of our inaugural flight to Ottawa. In a matter of a few weeks we’ll celebrate the first anniversary of the implementation of our Montreal service. It’s been an exhilarating first year and we couldn’t be more pleased about how much progress we have made in such a short time period. I am especially gratified by the role Porter has played in helping build further economic ties between Toronto and Montreal. The amount of trade in goods and services between Quebec and Ontario is close to $70 billion each year based on recent numbers. This is more than occurs between some smaller nations. Our geographic proximity encourages doing business face to face and, in so doing, strengthens the ties between Canada’s two major centers…and its two major cultures. I take pride in knowing Porter has done its part by making the relationship more convenient, enjoyable and productive. The Montreal-Toronto route is the second busiest by passenger volume in Canada. On any given weekday, there are at least 39 scheduled round-trip flights available between the two cities.

  • Acro Vs. Gymnastics: What's the Difference?
    Acro vs. Gymnastics: What’s the Difference? The simple answer is, there are LOTS of differences! If you’ve ever watched a gymnastics floor routine, you’ll notice the hard-hitting, advanced tumbling lines, executed with power and precision. Gymnasts focus on “sticking the landing”, because every fall, wobble, or off-step is a deduction to their overall score and can be the difference between winning and losing. Acro Dance is an art form specifically designed for dancers. Acro has softer, more lyrical-looking lines, with emphasis on lengthening “through” the tricks and holding beautiful balances with interesting variations. The focus is on seamlessly blending acrobatics with dance, and avoiding obvious preparations before each trick. In short, Gymnastics is a sport; Acro Dance is an art form. Gymnasts train on a sprung-floor, with actual springs built into the mats: a forgiving surface to repeatedly practice advanced tumbling passes on over and over again. Acro Dancers perform on a hard stage, and must train the body to withstand the impact of the floor. Dancers don’t get the “rebound” action out of a hard floor like gymnasts do out of a spring-floor. Therefore, dancers train to get the necessary lift from their bodies, and emphasis on a strong “hub” (hips, glutes, core) is a must. Gymnastics tricks are usually performed in a “hollow-body” position (think: laying down on the back in a “banana” position with the arms and legs hovering off the ground; chin tucked; pulling in through the core). Acro tricks are usually performed in an “open-body” position (think: laying down on the stomach in a “superman” position with the arms and legs lengthening and hovering off the ground; chin open and looking past the fingertips).
