‘Sad that the Short Kings are gone': Calgary brothers eliminated from Amazing Race Canada
A Calgary team featuring two brothers were eliminated from The Amazing Race Canada Tuesday night. Calgary residents Esosa and Osas Igbinosun learned their fate at the end of the episode from host Jon Montgomery, who informed them they were out, after finishing with the slowest time in an elimination challenge. 'Osas. Esosa. You are the last team to arrive,' Montgomery said. 'I am sorry to tell you this, but you have been eliminated from the race.' 'OK,' Esosa said. 'I guess that's it then.' 'Thank you for bringing amazing energy to this race,' Montgomery said, 'and I wish you two nothing but the best of luck in what comes next.' On social media, the news hit fans of the 'Short Kings' as the brothers were known, hard. 'I'm so sad that the Short Kings are gone,' said @threestarpet on the Amazing Race Canada Instagram page. 'They were such a charismatic pair!' 'So sad that my two favs are out. Loved them,' said @shanaanderson12. 'Even though it is the race, it hurts to see Osas and Esosa leave because they were fun and entertaining and I honestly wish it was a non-elimination leg,' said @ The brothers, who won fans across the country for their sense of humour as they occasionally got lost en route to completing the latest challenge, were emotional and philosophical about being eliminated.

(Photo credit: CTV) In a Wednesday morning interview with CTV, they were asked about their goal of paying tribute to their late father and also inspiring others to dream big. 'We did what we wanted to,' said Osas. 'and definitely being on this show was an accomplishment because there's lots of people who applied -- so we're definitely proud of ourselves and we know our dad would be proud, too.' 'I think we just wanted to put ourselves out there,' said Esosa, 'so that people would be, hey, you don't always have to put yourself in a box. 'Just go out, see Canada for what it is, make friendships along the way and just enjoy the whole experience. 'I know we had a good race, even if it wasn't as long as we wanted it to be, but we definitely had a wonderful experience.' The Amazing Race Canada continues next Tuesday night on CTV when the race moves north to Tuktoyaktuk.

Legendary metal band Acid Bath reuniting after 28 years with rare western Canada show

(Ticketmaster) One of the first sludge metal bands to come out of the mid-90s is returning to the stage after 28 years, and they're making a rare stop in Edmonton. Acid Bath was formed in 1991 in Louisiana, playing a subgenre of heavy metal music that blended southern gothic, psychedelic rock, sludge and death metal. They were notorious for their surreal, pagan and psycho imagery as well as an intense stage presence. Now, they're bringing that head-banging ferocity to Fan Park at Ice District on Oct. 18. Albums like When the Kite String Pops and Paegan Terrorism Tactics would elevate the band to legendary status and place it firmly amongst the greats as the harbinger of the sludge scene. Their time as a band ended with grief in 1997, when bassist Audie Pitre was killed by a drunk driver. Each musician went on to pursue their own paths – until now. Acid Bath announced a live tour with select shows in North America, with one stop in western Canada. Previously, Acid Bath had never played a Canadian show. They're now playing in both Toronto and Edmonton. Tickets are available online.

‘A game changer': Donation from Shania Twain helps fight food insecurity in Winnipeg

(Photo by Amy Harris/Invision/AP) A $15,000 donation from music superstar Shania Twain is helping to fight food insecurity in Winnipeg and keep wildfire evacuees fed. The funds from the Shania Twain Foundation to MakeWay Charitable Society—Climate Change Connection will assist in increasing refrigeration space at Community Helpers Unite—a non-profit organization working to end food insecurity in Winnipeg's North End. The increased refrigeration space—in the form of a 40-foot refrigerated shipping container—will help expand the organization's meal output by hundreds of meals per day, according to Kyle Bowman, operational culinary director for Community Helpers Unite. 'It helps in the increased capacity. I have the ability to bring in more from donations as well as from different community partners,' said Bowman. 'So now it's just bringing in more labour, bringing in more processing power and cooking for longer hours.' Bowman said the organization is currently producing over 6,000 meals daily for wildfire evacuees on top of about 1,100 meals for community members. 'It's a game changer, really,' said Jennifer McRae, program outreach associate with Climate Change Connection. McRae said that once emergency efforts are over to feed wildfire evacuees, the refrigerated container will be used to build a food distribution hub in Winnipeg—taking advantage of large surpluses of food that cannot make it to market. 'Winnipeg's currently missing out on hundreds of thousands of pounds of food a day because we don't have this cold storage in place, and it's contributing further to food waste,' said McRae. She added that rotting food produces methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide, and that food waste prevention also positively impacts the climate. The donation comes as part of a larger commitment by the Shania Twain Foundation to fund 375,000 meals nationwide to fight hunger. -With files from CTV's Jamie Dowsett
