'I offered my shoes': Pin trading is the 'unofficial sport' of the Canada Games
Pin trading is big at The Canada Games, like really big. Pegged as the unofficial sport of the Games; athletes trade and collect them for fun, for memories and for clout. There's also a Pin Guide on the official Canada Games app where you can keep track of the ones you collect. So, what's the craziest thing you'd trade for a rare pin?

Fringe Review: Time of My Life finds happiness in the everyday
Time Of My Life 2 Stars out of 5 Stage 7, Yardbird Suite, 11 Tommy Banks Way Antonio Olivito is having a rough time, losing a parent and suffering through a string of unsuccessful relationships. Time Of My Life is his one-man show about growing up as a gay man in an Italian-Canadian family, working his way through bad relationships to find himself and, eventually, discover happiness. Olivito switches back and forth between his more recent relationships and his challenges growing up in the '80s and '90s, weaving together a pattern of failed relationships that lasted anywhere from weeks to years. The theme seems to be 'from pleasant rejection to outright sadness.' Get top headlines and gossip from the world of celebrity and entertainment.

Fear not, as our protagonist isn't left in the lurch at the end, having found some modicum of self-love and understanding. That shouldn't be a spoiler — life's about the journey, not the destination, and obviously if Olivio has managed to pull together a Fringe show, then things can't have fallen apart. Unfortunately for Olivito, his journey rushes forward at about 300 words per minute, a machine-gun delivery breezing through the 60-minute run time in less than 45. He also leans too heavily on pasta and Italian-related puns. 'He stole a pizza my heart,' he quips about a past boyfriend. It's not the only time food puns play into the dialogue, each groaner pulling an equal number of guffaws and head shakes. The show is cute and fun, but ultimately falls flat. There's no big reveal at the end, no 'a-ha' moment to tie it all together. At least there are a few Italian-inspired puns to get us through.
