    Barney's Version (film)

    The film Barney's Version (2010), produced by Robert Lantos and directed by Richard J. Lewis, takes on the challenge of adapting Mordecai Richler's unruly onslaught of a final novel. Overflowing with narrative and character invention, hilariously funny, profoundly sad, and everything in between, the book tracks a rogue's adventures from his bohemian youth in Europe to his waning, memory-haunted days in Montreal. Hopscotching around in time and place, Barney Panofsky narrates multiple story threads in a meandering stream of consciousness, recounting his three marriages, friends and enemies, triumphs and disasters.

    Basking Shark

    Basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus) are large, migratory sharks found in temperate oceans around the world. Basking sharks seasonally inhabit both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada. An estimated 10,000 sharks make up the Atlantic population; however, they are rarely seen in Canada’s Pacific Ocean. The Canadian Species at Risk Act lists the Pacific population as endangered. By comparison, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Animals in Canada considers the Atlantic population “special concern.”
