Films to stream Clockwise from top left: Joan of Arc; Athlete A; Da 5 Bloods; Irresistible; Immate #1: The Rise of Danny Trejo; The Old Guard; The King of Staten Island.

1. The King of Staten Island (Judd Apatow)

Saturday Night Live breakout star Pete Davidson gets his first lead role, in a Judd Apatow-directed comedy that he helped co-write. Its clearly inspired by details of Davidsons own life: he plays a twentysomething whose life has been upended by the death of his firefighter dad; his mothers new relationship forces him out of his slump. Digital platforms, out now

2. Da 5 Bloods (Spike Lee)

Timing is everything: Spike Lees latest is a welcome addition to the Black Lives Matter cause, a Vietnam war film exploring the experience of African-American soldiers in the conflict, as four veterans return decades later to search for the remains of their squad leader. Delroy Lindo and Jonathan Majors star. Netflix, out now

3. Joan of Arc (Bruno Dumont)

Frances national heroine, who saw off the English during the hundred years war before being captured and burned at the stake in 1431, is a hardy perennial of French cinema. This is Dumonts second go at the subject, much more straightforward than his rock music version from 2017, though it has the same teenage star, Lise Leplat Prudhomme. Curzon Home Cinema, 19 June

4. Wasp Network (Olivier Assayas)

Olivier Assayas is the French director who gave us the mammoth Carlos, about the celebrated spy/assassin. Here he returns to not dissimilar territory, with Carloss dgar Ramirez as a Cuban pilot who is charged with infiltrating anti-Castro exiles in Miami, Florida much to the consternation of his wife (Penlope Cruz), who is unaware of the realities of his mission. Netflix, 19 June

5. Inmate #1: The Rise of Danny Trejo(Brett Harvey)

Trejo is the instantly recognisable hatchet-faced actor best known for a string of badass roles in films such as Desperado and Machete. This doc chronicles his tumultuous life story, which included several prison spells in California before he got into acting (and, later, restaurant-owning). Digital platforms, 22 June

6. Athlete A (Bonni Cohen, Jon Shenk)

Another in Netflixs impressive string of hard-hitting documentaries, this follows the expos (by reporters from the Indianapolis Star) of the sex abuse scandal in US gymnastics. It centres on national team doctor Larry Nassar, who was sentenced to hundreds of years in prison on multiple charges of sexual assault. Netflix, 24 June

7. Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (David Dobkin)

Hollywood, it seems, has cottoned on to the rich absurdity of Eurovision, and Will Ferrell is spearheading this comedy from Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin. Its title alludes slyly to Game of Thrones; not surprising, then, that it focuses on Icelands entry into the competition, with Ferrell and Rachel McAdams giving it their all. Netflix, 26 June

8. Irresistible (Jon Stewart)

US satirist and chatshow paragon Jon Stewart makes his second foray into film directing. In contrast to his debut, Rosewater, this takes aim squarely at the right-left political confrontation of the Trump era. Steve Carell is the Democrat political strategist who thinks he can upset the conservative certainties of a small town; Rose Byrne is the Republican rival who takes him on. Digital platforms, 26 June

9. The Old Guard (Gina Prince-Bythewood)

Charlize Theron leads a strong cast (which includes Beale Streets KiKi Layne and Rust and Bones Matthias Schoenaerts) in a comic book-based superhero yarn: she plays an immortal soldier once known as Andromache of Syria, but now the head of a group of mercenaries of similar vintage who are tasked with defending humanity. Netflix, 10 July

10. Boyz in the Wood (Ninian Doff)

An unexpected homegrown success from Scotland: a horror-comedy about a bunch of city-raised teens who are stuck in the Highlands on a Duke of Edinburgh award scheme where they are stalked by sinister mask-wearing poshos. Trainspotting meets The League of Gentlemen is how its being described. Amazon Prime Video, 7 August

11. Phoebe Bridgers: Punisher

Since 2017s intimate Stranger in the Alps, 25-year-old LA singer-songwriter Bridgers has started two new bands (Boygenius and Better Oblivion Community Center) and appeared all over the 1975s latest opus. Here she pulls the focus back in striking fashion, expanding on her alt-rock sound while continuing her knack for transforming melancholia into something beautiful. 19 June

12. Jessie Ware: Whats Your Pleasure?

While 2017s beige Glasshouse was the perfect musical accompaniment to her successful food podcast, Table Manners, this sweatier, sexier fourth album finds Ware channelling her inner dancefloor diva. Excellent recent single Ooh La La references pop outlier Risn Murphy, while the house-y Mirage (Dont Stop) could soundtrack any socially distanced BBQ. 26 June

13. Arca: KiCk i

Bjrk, Rosala and Sophie guest on this fourth album from the pioneering Venezuelan producer Alejandra Ghersi. While her previous efforts sounded as twisted as their disturbing visuals, the more inviting KiCk i (there are apparently three more volumes to come) finds her dabbling in trap, reggaeton and dreamy electro-pop. 26 June

14. Haim: Women in Music Pt III

Everyones favourite Californian sisters return with their pointedly titled third album. Looser and more experimental than their previous collections, the six singles (!) to emerge so far range from I Know Alones UK garage-dabbling, sun-kissed confection (complete with viral dance routine) to the rock sheen of the Sheryl Crow-esque The Steps. 26 June

15. Brandy: B7

In the eight years since her last album, the rightfully nicknamed vocal Bible has seen her influence underlined by the likes of Solange, Kehlani and Frank Ocean. After years of being the muse for songwriters and producers including Timbaland and Rodney Jerkins, the luxuriant, experimental R&B of B7 finds her co-writing and co-producing on every song. 31 July

16. Fontaines DC: A Heros Death

Fifteen months since the release of their Mercury-nominated debut, Dogrel, the Irish post-punkers return with a more expansive follow-up. Recorded quickly with producer Dan Carey (Black Midi, La Roux), A Heros Death apparently draws inspiration from the likes of Suicide, Broadcast and, as hinted at by its title track, the Beach Boys. 31 July

17. Biffy Clyro: A Celebration of Endings

The T-shirt averse Scottish rockers continue their journey from cult concern with a woeful name to X Factor-adjacent chart-toppers on their eighth album, co-produced once again by Muse collaborator Rich Costey. Expect more meaty rock, more stadium-ready ballads and even more chances to see male nipples. 14 August

18. Disclosure: Energy

After a five-year hiatus following second album Caracal, UK dance producers Guy and Howard Lawrence are back with a clutch of summer-ready bangers. Kelis, Fatoumata Diawara and Slowthai are among the vocalists, while the pulsating title track, which features motivational speaker Eric Thomas, suggests the title is 100% apt. 28 August

19. Kelly Lee Owens: Inner Song

Originally scheduled for May, dance experimentalist Lee Owenss second album now arrives in time for sticky, late summer nights. Touching on the personal tactile banger Night focuses on strength in solitude and the political via the climate crisis-citing Melt!, its a dancefloor-ready album for the head and heart. 28 August

20. Lana Del Rey: Chemtrails Over the Country Club

This follow-up to 2019s gorgeous Norman Fucking Rockwell! is already controversial, with its announcement tacked on to the end of a much-critiqued Instagram post that undermined legitimate views on female agency by critiquing mainly black female artists. The album will be joined by two books of poetry, so brace yourselves. 5 September

MC

21. Slow Burn

Slates ever-gripping anthology podcast previous seasons of which have delved into the Watergate scandal, the impeachment of Bill Clinton and the death of Tupac Shakur moves into timely territory with a series on white supremacist leader David Duke. Exploring Dukes manoeuvres into politics and his mainstreaming of far-right ideology, journalist Josh Levin examines the links between organisations including the Ku Klux Klan and the powers that be in the United States. Slate, out now

22. The Special Relationship

This mockumentary pod from duo Alex Owen and Ben Ashenden, AKA The Pin, is sure to be an anarchic listen, as we follow two hopeless British comics trying to make it in the US. Exploring the hilariously unhealthy co-dependence of the delusional pair, it also boasts a cast of comic talents from both sides of the Atlantic, including Lolly Adefope, Jamie Demetriou, Kate Berlant and Saturday Night Lives Cecily Strong. Audible, expected July

23. Rise of the Iron Men

Journalist and McMafia author Misha Glenny follows up his audio series Putin: Prisoner of Power with another podcast, this time charting the rise of other Iron Man political leaders, who espouse the cause of free speech while keeping the firmest of grips on their respective nations. From Erdoan in Turkey to Indias Modi and Bolsonaro in Brazil, Glenny aims to craft a thriller-esque narrative around each of these formidable, populist leaders with nationalist aims. Audible, expected August

24. Sex, Lies and DM Slides

Cook-turned-media personality Gizzi Erskine teams up with multi-hyphenate model, DJ and writer Sydney Lima for a new podcast covering online dating to sex pests, dick pics to porn, which is sure to appeal to fans of The Receipts, The Hotbed and maybe even the New York Timess more earnest Modern Love. With guests ranging from celebrities to sex workers, dominatrixes to comedians, expect a show thats as frank and insightful as it is accessible. Spotify, summer TBC

25. Hear to Slay

Author and cultural commentator Roxane Gay known for her frank dissection of race, body image and feminism and writer and sociology professor Tressie McMillan Cottom are set to return with another series of the black feminist podcast of your dreams. Taking an intelligent, intersectional look at everything from sexual abuse in Hollywood to black women in rap, this is a totally brilliant show that always fizzes with black girl magic. Luminary, summer TBC

HJD

26. The Great

Tony McNamara, co-writer of The Favourite, brings some of the same courtly nincompoopery to a freestyle bio of Catherine the Great (Elle Fanning), who becomes empress of Russia when she marries bonehead ruler Peter (Nicholas Hoult). Presenting a battle against grotesque misogyny as a clever but absurd comedy is a gamble that pays off. Starzplay, 18 June

27. Insecure

Season four of HBOs emotionally intelligent dramedy finds Issa (Issa Rae) still stumbling towards adulthood, as she and best mate Molly (Yvonne Orji) again threaten to grow apart, and Issas ex continues to live in her head. In its subtle, introspective way, its still TVs sharpest document of the black/millennial/LA experience. Sky Comedy/Now TV, 23 June

28. Celebrity Snoop Dogs

Celebrity property shows reach a new low just above floor level, in fact in a series that straps GoPro cameras to stars best friends. As the mutts nose around, we guess who owns them and the house, in a format that raises the happy possibility of Keith Lemon one day being replaced on Through the Keyhole by a labrador. Channel 4, 26 June

29. Dark

The off-the-chain German sci-fi twister roars back, following a shock season two ending that added parallel worlds to Darks already confusing time loops. Can the forces of evil, or that big wobbly sphere thing, be defeated? Its the final season so the story ends, or begins, or implodes into a humanity-erasing void, here. Netflix, 27 June

30. Dead Still

Focused on crime drama, Acorn TV is a strong new niche streaming player, rich in rights ownership (Foyles War, anything Agatha Christie) and original shows. This droll black comedy stars Michael Smiley as a 19th-century Irish photographer who specialises in snapping the deceased, but ends up having to investigate a serial killer. Acorn TV, 29 June

31. The Luminaries

Eleanor Catton dismantles her own 2013 Booker-winning novel across six episodes, with Eve Hewson (The Knick) as the adventurous young Brit trying to make a new life in New Zealand in the 1860s. Its visual opulence, thwarted romance and layers of cliffhanging mystery should make for a sultry, escapist summer hit. BBC One, June/July TBC

32. Hanna

Season two of a thriller that has successfully spun the 2011 movie about a teen girl raised to be an elite killer spy out into episodic format, while maintaining a sparse efficiency of storytelling as well as a careful balance of tension and action. Esme Creed-Miles is strong as the enigmatic, almost superhero-like lead character, originally played in the film by Saoirse Ronan. Amazon Prime Video, 3 July

33. Little Voice

Not a remake of the 1998 Jane Horrocks Britflick, although the theme of deriving hope from music is similar. Writer-director Jessie Nelson and songwriter Sara Bareilles the team behind the stage musical Waitress team up with JJ Abrams for this love letter to the NYC music scene, starring Brittany OGrady as one of many young hopefuls hoping to sing their way out of obscurity and find themselves while theyre at it. Apple TV+, 10 July

34. Muppets Now

Having lived off The Mandalorian for perhaps too long, Disney+ heralds a new wave of original content by dusting down Kermit and co. As has become the norm with modern Muppets, its well meta: the unscripted show centres on Scooters efforts to deliver the new Muppets TV show so it can be streamed. Disney+, 31 July

35. Mrs America

This nuanced, resonant biographical miniseries has a golden supporting cast Rose Byrne, Uzo Aduba, John Slattery, Melanie Lynskey, Sarah Paulson, Tracey Ullman backing Cate Blanchetts portrayal of 1970s US conservative Phyllis Schlafly, whose successful efforts to prevent sex-discrimination legislation defined what second-wave feminism was up against. BBC Two, July

36. Valorant

Looking for the next Fortnite? This may well be it. Valorant is attracting huge interest from esports and streaming stars and their millions of young followers.

PC, out now

37. The Sims: Eco Lifestyle

Love The Sims, but find that its ultra-capitalism grates on your leftie sensibilities? To appease todays eco-conscious Gen Z audience, Maxis is giving its long-running, ludicrously compelling life-simulation game a green update. Your little computer people will soon be able to live zero-waste, upcycling, solar-powered, vegan virtual lives, transforming a grimy rundown port town into a futuristic eco-oasis. PC, PS4, XBox One, out now

38. The Last of Us Part II

A tense, terrifying post-apocalyptic drama about a deadly contagion might sound like the last thing you want to play right now, but The Last of Us Part II is an undisputed event in the world of gaming. A horror-tinged action game about a gay 19-year-old and the people around her, it explores some heavy stuff about relationships, revenge and what humans are capable of doing for and to each other in extreme circumstances. PS4, 19 June

39. Ghost of Tsushima

A stunning-looking tribute to 50s and 60s samurai action movies, this takes us to 13th-century Japan to grassy fields, feudal villages and shining blades crashing under falling cherry blossoms. The story plays with themes of honour and responsibility, and is a real showcase for the technical and artistic talents of developer Sucker Punch. PS4, 17 July

40. Paper Mario: The Origami King

If some of the other games sound a bit dark, how about wholesome, lovely Super Mario? Here, everything is made of paper, including Mario and his various cutesy foes. Slapstick humour, applause-worthy puns and a touch of endearing weirdness always make these games worth playing, and you dont need to be overly familiar with Nintendo to enjoy the jokes and the whimsy. Nintendo Switch, 17 July

The 50 best cultural events to experience at home - The Guardian

Every age has its own fascism, Primo Levi once warned. Levis all-consuming subject was the vulnerability of contemporary liberal society to radical evil, which makes quite a bit of sense since he was a firsthand witness to and victim of the Nazi concentration camps. Levi had already seen liberal society succumb to the deranged fantasies and false promises of demagogues and dictators once, and it was more than enough for a lifetime. For the rest of his days, Levi remained on guard against any recrudescence of totalitarian ideology.

Whats our excuse?

We moderns are guilty of an opposite phenomenon to this kind of fierce anti-fascism, something you might think of as phantom fascism.

Consider the viral image of Hitlers blank visage, with only the elaborate winged coif to indicate it is that of the Nazi leader.

This artwork is courtesy of a Belgian cartoonist, Luc Descheemaeker and it immediately put me in mind of a phrase by the great Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt, who warned against terribles simplificateursterrible simplifiers. When you only know one episode from history, what choice do you have but to confuse everything else with it?

Nearly four years after the inauguration of President Trump, many who oppose him still confuse his authoritarian populism with fascist totalitarianism. This is a mistake, because it is a distinction with a difference.

A more insightful analysis is provided by David Frum in his new book Trumpocalypse.

In a shrewd chapter titled White Terror, Frum explicates the new socio-political movement that Trump belongs to but does not quite command. This movement may like to call itself nationalist, but to Frums mind, this is a misnomer. The most fundamental concept in the politics of the new movement is the divide between friend and enemy, but for the new movement, the divide cuts through nations, not between them. The idea of a civic nationalism that forms the heart of Americas political philosophy is alien to this ideology.

Applying the fascist label to this new movement doesnt really help explain it.

It is true that the same fascination with and sanctification of violence embodied in Trumps GOP and kindred movements around the world is an essential element of fascism. But while all fascist movements are violent, not all violent movements are fascist.

The partisans of Trump look backward to a largely mythical past, not forward to a utopia of national redemption through war. Whatever superficial resemblances this new movement may possess with the fascism of old, it is considerably weaker than the original because, at base, it is not the vanguard of a revolutionary movement, but a rearguard action being fought by a demographic in its twilight.

When scientists examine a species that resembles another, but only incompletely or imperfectly, they add the suffix oid, Frum observes. A chemical compound thats not quite an alkaline is an alkaloid. In the same way Trump and his ilk are fascoidnear it, but not quite the same, a failure even as fascists.

This gulf between fascism and Trumpism has been laid bare in recent weeks. As Ross Douthat observes, across his presidency Trump has been more a Wallace than a Nixon, less law and order than the law for thee but not for me. This insight corresponds to a government that has always been less concerned, as Frum has argued, with persecuting the innocent than protecting the guilty.

As we prepare to enter this election season, theres a wise motto for Trumps oppositionnota bene: not the resistanceto consider:

Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.

As I was taught long ago, notice that the author did not say optimism of the heart.

The will is something else.

It is active and vigilant, concerned not only with intentions but consequences. Excessive pessimism of the intellect can actually mitigate the will. Against an actual fascist regime, extra-constitutional means must be entertained by the opposition. By contrast, within a democratic system grappling with the authoritarian populism we face now requires a firmly constitutional response: It requires a complete and total victory at the ballot box, not a change in the form of government.

Trump Is Too Weak to Be a Strongman - The Bulwark

TORONTO A gift of $10 million by the Temerty Foundation was made in April to the University of Torontos Faculty of Medicine to help its partner hospitals respond to the immediate needs of frontline health-care workers, and facilitate research and training in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In early April, the Temerty Foundation committed to the donation for the creation of the Deans COVID-19 Priority Fund. The fund directly supports frontline clinical faculty members and trainees who are fighting the pandemic, and researchers at the University of Toronto (U of T) and partner hospitals that are seeking to improve testing, accelerate vaccine research, and create better treatments and prevention strategies.

This investment has already helped to expand the infrastructure required to perform critical research and supply urgent clinical resources, and has enabled exploration of innovative solutions to maximize the use and reuse of personal protective equipment (PPE). It has established urgently required isolation housing for medical residents and fellows, and provided emergency student funds. It has also supported other projects with an impact across the entire Toronto Academic Health Science Network (TAHSN), the group of research, teaching and community hospitals and health-care centers anchored by U of T.

We are deeply grateful to the Temerty Foundation for their outstanding leadership in responding to this unprecedented global crisis, said President Meric Gertler. Receiving a gift of this magnitude so early in the crisis has helped us meet the urgent needs of our regions frontline clinicians and medical trainees, and will continue to provide vital support to researchers in defeating the COVID-19 pandemic.

Established in 1997 by James and Louise Temerty, the Temerty Foundation has provided significant philanthropic support to health care, education and culture in Toronto and various other communities.

Through our gift to the University of Toronto, we want to support a local network of heroes fighting on behalf of all of us, to protect us on a day-to-day basis and to discover a long-term solution that can help us stabilize and recover from this devastating crisis, said Leah Temerty-Lord, managing director of the Temerty Foundation. We hope this will help the patients and caregivers who are experiencing this awful virus and give the talented scientists some of the tools they need to accelerate the most promising research.

Meeting urgent needs

Through the Deans COVID-19 Priority Fund, the Temerty Foundations gift has been directed to support the following initiatives:

Immediate expansion of U of Ts Containment Level 3 (CL3) facility and creation of a COVID-19 Biobank to house virus samples a national priority. Infectious agents like COVID-19 require highly secure storage environments. U of T is home to one of only two CL3 facilities in Toronto and is the only one available for research. The foundations support is helping the Faculty expand the facility to provide researchers from across the city with 24/7 access to the samples needed to investigate and test COVID-19 vaccines, diagnostics and related solutions.

Isolation housing for U of T Medicine residents and fellows who are frontline health-care workers rotating through the Greater Toronto Areas major hospitals. Many of these trainees may be required to isolate as they are tested for, or recover from, COVID-19, while others may need to self-isolate to protect those with whom they live.

Innovative reuse of PPE by employing technologies such as UV light, heat or ozone to potentially disinfect N95 face masks. At U of T, researchers have been testing and implementing protocols that will allow the masks worn by frontline health-care workers throughout the regions hospitals to retain their effectiveness while being thoroughly cleaned. The protocols follow recently released guidelines on the reuse of PPE.

The Toronto COVID-19 Action Fund, a parallel fund created and launched by the University of Toronto to make rapid contributions to the fight against the virus. The fund has already committed grants to support 31 hospital and U of T research projects that expand understanding of the pathogen and have an impact at the vanguard of care. The Temerty Foundation is joining more than 600 other generous donors to support this fund, including critical contributions from the university and 12 of its hospital partners.

Additional critical research projects at U of Ts Faculty of Medicine and partner hospitals that are not fully funded by the Toronto COVID-19 Action Fund. These could include solutions such as diagnostics, anti-viral agents and currently approved drugs that could be potentially repurposed to treat COVID-19.

Emergency Assistance Grants for students who have been financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic through loss of income or other unexpected expenses. These grants help students with immediate critical needs such as living costs, helping alleviate this burden while they support the efforts against COVID-19.

Urgent professional development for clinicians and trainees who may find themselves navigating unfamiliar areas of health care due to redeployment, such as the ICU or palliative medicine. U of T Medicine is harnessing its world-class education to offer essential clinical resources for health-care providers and trainees across its hospital-partner network.

The Temerty Foundation truly understands the powerful impact U of T and our partner hospitals can have when we work together, said Trevor Young, dean of the Faculty of Medicine and vice provost for relations with health-care institutions. We are extremely grateful for their generosity and vision. For the trainees, clinicians and researchers battling this virus every day, this is a huge vote of confidence.

Benefitting Torontos health-care system

The TAHSN is a consortium of world-class research, teaching and community hospitals with a single medical school U of Ts Faculty of Medicine serving as its hub. Pushing the boundaries of knowledge and clinical practice, TAHSN delivers high-quality patient care, drives innovative research and advances outstanding medical education, contributing 20 percent of all newly trained Canadian physicians.

The Temerty Foundations remarkable gift supports what is vitally needed across TAHSN during this pandemic: a strong combination of front-line support and critical research, noted Gary Newton, president and CEO of Sinai Health System and chair of TAHSN. There is no one easy solution, but this investment is a terrific catalyst for the innovation and collaboration we need to address the threats of COVID-19.

Around the globe, philanthropists are giving generously to support their communities and help address the COVID-19 crisis. The Temerty Foundation is helping to lead a wider movement of donors who are supporting U of T and its hospital partners during this time of great need.

We are immensely grateful to the Temerty Foundation for their rapid response during this unprecedented global crisis, commented David Palmer, vice-president for advancement at U of T. Their generous and timely donation is having an immediate impact on our collective ability to confront this challenge. Toronto is home to some of the worlds brightest minds in biomedical research and clinical-care innovation, and this gift has already helped us to scale up their work quickly. It also ensures we can effectively support the health-care workers at the center of this global fight.

About the Temerty Foundation

Founded by James and Louise Temerty in 1997, and managed by their daughter Leah Temerty-Lord, the Temerty Foundation has had health care as one of its primary charitable focuses since its inception. Past activities include establishing the Temerty Center for Therapeutic Brain Intervention at the Center for Addiction and Mental Health, the Louise Temerty Breast Cancer Center at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center, the Temerty Foundation RGNEF (Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor) Research Fund for neurodegenerative disease at Western University, and the worlds first international tele-simulation center in medical education at the University Health Network.

The Temerty Foundation and family have supported the Royal Ontario Museum, the Royal Conservatory of Music, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, the Canadian Red Cross, The Hospital for Sick Children, North York General Hospital, the Michener Institute and the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv. The foundation was instrumental in launching the Kyiv Mohyla Business School, and it also founded the Ukrainian Jewish Encounter Initiative, a multinational project that aims to build a sound foundation for future interaction among Ukrainians and Jews.

Mr. Temerty, a Ukrainian Canadian born in the Donbas region of Ukraine, was the founding chairman of Northland Power Inc. and continues to serve as a director of the company. Northland Power is an independent power-producing company with a focus on clean and green energy. An entrepreneur with over 40 years of business experience, Mr. Temerty was appointed a member of the Order of Canada in 2008 and awarded the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2010 for Canada.
