Celine Dion attends Coldplay Concert in Las Vegas amid stiff-person syndrome diagnosis
Washington DC [US], June 10 (ANI): Popular Canadian singer Celine Dion recently attended a Coldplay concert at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, reported People. Celine, who has been battling with stiff-person syndrome, is now making headlines for attending the show. She posted several pictures on her Instagram handle and wrote in the caption, 'What an unforgettable evening with @Coldplay at @ heart is still singing!' She added, 'A heartfelt thanks to the band and their amazing team for welcoming my family with warmth and kindness. It was Recently, Dion was seen enjoying the show as Coldplay performed on the latest stop at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for another night of their Music of the Spheres World Tour. One photo shows the 'Power of Love' singer in a huddle with the band, while another captures her deep in conversation with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. Other snaps in the post include her waving at members of the crowd and making a heart gesture with her hands after appearing on the concert's big circular screen, reported People. The setlist included Coldplay classics such as 'Paradise,' 'Yellow,' and 'Clocks.' Dion appeared to have been joined at the show by her three sons -- Rene-Charles, 24, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 14 -- whom she shared with her late husband, Rene Angelil, reported People. Dion and Angelil's love story began in 1980 when a 12-year-old Dion auditioned for him. He became her manager, and their professional partnership lasted seven years before they started dating in 1987, when Dion was 19. At first, Dion kept their relationship private, worried about public opinion.'I was afraid of what people would think,' she told People in 1994. The couple also revealed their relationship publicly after being engaged for several years. 'When I was at the age to be able to say to people [we were together] ... It was like bang! Love! Love always wins,' Dion wrote in her memoir. The two were married on December 17, 1994, in a lavish ceremony at Montreal's Notre-Dame Basilica, which was broadcast live in Canada. In recent years, Dion has faced health challenges of her own. In December 2022, the singer shared her diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder, which has impacted her career. Earlier this month, Dion shared how her children have inspired her to fight stiff-person syndrome. She was diagnosed with the rare autoimmune and neurological disorder in August 2022, almost six years after Angelil died from throat cancer. 'I barely could walk at one point, and I was missing very much living. My kids started to notice. I was like, 'OK, they already lost a parent. I don't want them to be scared',' said Dion. 'I let them know, 'You lost your dad, [but] mom has a condition and it's different. I'm not going to die. It's something that I'm going to learn to live with,' reported People. (ANI)

What the CBC needs: not more money, but real leadership
In the new book 'The Big Picture: A Personal History of Independent Television Production in Canada,' veteran TV producer Pat Ferns — who helped shepherd into existence such well-remembered creations as 'Glory Enough for All' and 'Letter from Wingfield Farm' — outlines the evolution of Canada's independent production industry and its worrying future prospects. Here, he offers some free advice for the CBC. In a 1939 speech, my godfather, Leonard Brockington — the CBC's first chairman — passionately urged our new public broadcaster to concentrate 'all available sources of revenue … on the production of Canadian programs.' He described the ideal model as 'public ownership of stations, competition in programs,' and warned that 'advertising and the profit motive should not be the foundations on which this new medium of mass communication should be built.' If only his advice had been followed. Instead, we've ended up with a hybrid public broadcaster — particularly in television — that is increasingly dependent on advertising revenue, and perpetually pleading poverty when compared to its international peers. In broad strokes, CBC's budget is about $1.4 billion of which about $400 million comes from advertising revenue — more than the promised new funding, but more than sufficient to distort its vision as a public broadcaster. Opinion articles are based on the author's interpretations and judgments of facts, data and events. More details

Guillermo del Toro to introduce Canadian horror screenings in Toronto
Consider these scenes from the snow-dusted world of Canadian horror films, where the ordinary turns strange and insanity reigns. In David Cronenberg's 'Rabid,' a distressed woman asks a man for a hug. She then stabs him with her Freudian phallic armpit spike, sucking his blood and infecting him with a form of rabies that turns him into a zombielike rager.
