The passing of Paul Newman (2008), Sean Connery (2020), Sidney Poitier (2022), and now Robert Redford (2025) signals the slow disappearance of a certain type of 20th century figure: men who embodied classic style in a way that reflected their taste, rather than a professional stylist.

outrageous to consider this American-owned publisher receives massive amounts of federal funding to launder Israel's war crimes & justify the murder of five journalists. appalling even by the rock-bottom standards of one of the worst news outlets in Canada.
