Why Toronto’s Caribbean Carnival is still important 50 years later
This year marked the 50th anniversary of Toronto’s Caribbean Carnival parade—known as Caribana, locally. Masqueraders, spectators and Premier Kathleen Wynne tell us why the celebration is still necessary after all these years.

And now there is this video (which the Liberals themselves have made available to the world).
On the road to Thornhill
On the way to MuchMusic, a steel drum band played at the back of the bus. Mr. Ignatieff tried his hand at the drum, while a camera clicked away. He and one of the drummers then discussed the band’s prospects at a competition this weekend (the band—Afropan—expects to win).
The rolling people
As of tomorrow morning, I’m on the road, again. In this case that means following Michael Ignatieff around southern Ontario—Thornhill, Toronto, Burlington, Stoney Creek, St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Oakville and Mississauga. The trip concludes with a visit to Caribana where the Liberal leader will, in a party tradition that dates to Laurier, be made to jump and wine.
