Montreal makes a new ranking of the best cities in the world

As if Montreal needed another piece of its shoulder! Okay, we're kidding (but not really). A new ranking prepared by Time Out magazine put Montreal on its list of the 37 best cities in the world. And it was the only Canadian city on the list. Landing in sixth place on the list, Montreal fell behind cities like New York and Prague.

Famous Rapper Finds Lost Dog From Calgary, Florida

There’s nothing more heartwarming than a found-animal story, but this one is especially heartwarming…and crazy. Puerto Rican rapper Nejo El Broko posted on his Instagram story about a lost dog he found in Davenport, Florida. The catch? The dog’s tag said he was from Calgary. Maybe he had a Milo and Otis-style adventure?

List of top Canadian universities for 2022 released

The list was released by Times Higher Education and places the University of Toronto, UBC, and McGill in the top three. Check it out to see where your favorite school ranks!

Toronto branch of Royal Conservatory of Music named after jazz legend Oscar Peterson

Did you know that Canada has a rich history when it comes to jazz? We didn’t know this growing up, so it’s amazing to see the late Toronto jazz icon Oscar Peterson getting the honour he deserves. The community school will now be called the Oscar Peterson School of Music and will hopefully bring more awareness and ears to this great musician.

Home Depot's Giant Skeleton Is Back

You know the one. This one stands 12 feet tall and was all over social media last year. In case you needed a reason to get even more excited for Halloween this year, the massive skeleton is currently in stores. There’s really no better way to spend $400 this October than to buy a 12-foot skeleton to scare passersby.

Have you got all your good news yet? We hope you have because that’s all we have for you this week. If you’re still hungry for more, just pop by next week for our next recap. Until then, sit back and sail into this beautiful weekend. Bye!
