New Zealand costume designer Kate Hawley has designed many costumes for the big screen — including for the forthcoming Frankenstein — but Winnipeggers will be able to see her confectionary couture creations onstage this week when the RWB presents the Manitoba premiere of Hansel & Gretel.
Kate Hawley knows costumes are no bit players when it comes to storytelling, both onscreen and onstage.

This is a reminder that almost all adult men who sexually abuse children do not meet a clinical definition of a “pedophile.”

They prey upon children because they want to overpower vulnerable victims. And no one is given less power in our society than children.

Catching up on a few things I haven’t had a chance to clip yet — did you know Poilievre, speaking in French, called UNWRA terrorists and said he’d stop giving any funding to them????

Absolutely horrifying position given UNWRA’s integral role in providing humanitarian aid to the region.

Well folks, we made it. It’s Friday the 13th (day of the election).

On the campaign trail today, there were some announcements -- and there were quite a few blunders.

Two more candidates also got the boot.

Oh, and did you hear? I had a little announcement of my own today!

Pierre Poilievre and his handlers are AVOIDING questions by many journalists. Pressuring them to know what the questions are beforehand. Pushing and shoving journalists.

Pierre Poilievre is a weasle. He wants soft-ball, pre-planned questions from Rebel "News".
