What the Hell Just Happened on ‘Doctor Who'?
Doctor Who's latest season has just come to an end—and with it, we just got hit with an absolute shocker of a cliffhanger. Let's discuss, shall we? Preparing to sacrifice himself to shift time and save the young Poppy–a descendant of human and Time Lord biology–by shunting his regenerative energy into the Time Vortex, the 15th Doctor shuts himself in his TARDIS and flies away, bracing to give it all. The paradox of time itself splitting apart, however, gives him a helping hand… in the form of none other than Jodie Whittaker's 13th Doctor. Who doesn't take much convincing, strewn out of her own timestream by the impending schism, to help this new Doctor say good bye for the sake of reality. After an emotional farewell where the two of them ruminate on lives cut short, the Doctor exposes himself to the TARDIS' console, practically ripping the regenerative energy out of his own body to blast the time machine. Everything shatters, and the Doctor realises that his time his up. Delaying regeneration as long as possible, the 15th Doctor starts his long goodbye, realising that he's managed to save the day and bring Poppy to back to existence. Bidding a tearful goodbye to Belinda and Poppy (who has become human in the process of being restored), the Doctor returns to the TARDIS. Unable to hold it back any longer, the 15th Doctor begins his regeneration, bursting with golden light as he stands leaning out of the TARDIS doors and into the whole universe. He changes. Into a woman. A blonde woman. She looks an awful lot like Rose Tyler, because Billie Piper is the Doctor. 'Oh hello,' the new Doctor says. And that's how Doctor Who's current season comes to an end. Just how long we have to wait to see the ramifications of the 16th Doctor's familiar face remains to be seen. The BBC and Disney have yet to confirm just when, or if, Doctor Who will return in its current form. There's probably something to be said with the fact that the episode credits Piper as-is, rather than introducing Billie Piper 'as The Doctor', as is the usual tradition with these things (for what it's worth, by Ncuti Gatwa and Jodie Whittaker were credited as such, making the absence for Piper stand out all the more. Neither company has yet to officially confirm future seasons of Doctor Who, although a regeneration, with Piper or otherwise, obviously leaves things open for a new era to begin at some point. Not even a Christmas special for 2025 was commissioned, and with the upcoming spinoff War Between Land and the Sea on the way, it might be a good while yet until we see just what the real deal is here. Regardless though, Ncuti Gatwa's time on Doctor Who has come to an end… and very uncertain future lies ahead of the TARDIS' latest inhabitant. We'll be back on Monday to deliver our full recap of 'The Reality War.' In the meantime, let us know what you thought in the comments.

Royal Canadian Legion joins Veterans Affairs Canada at the 25th anniversary of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
OTTAWA, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Royal Canadian Legion shared the history of how Canada's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier came to be, during a special Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) event in Ottawa this morning. The story was part of the commemoration that took place on May 28th – the same day the soldier was originally interred in the final resting place at the site of the National War Memorial in Ottawa, in the year 2000. Legion Grand President, Vice-Admiral (Ret'd) Larry Murray, who was deputy minister of VAC at the time, spoke on behalf of the Legion about the great collaboration. 'I recall the thoughtful deliberations, the selfless efforts and the superb teamwork by all involved during the planning and preparation phases,' he shared. VAdm (Ret'd) Murray also noted how significant the tomb remains today, with busloads of students and others visiting throughout the year, and as a site of deep reflection at Canada's National Remembrance Day Ceremony; afterwards, attendees often place their lapel Poppies of Remembrance on the tomb. Brigadier-General (Ret'd) Duane Daly is a former Legion Dominion Secretary (now referred to as National Executive Director) and the tomb's project director. He, and past Dominion President the late Chuck Murphy, were instrumental in making things happen. BGen (Ret'd) Daly recounted some of the initial challenging history , and the overwhelming government and community support that eventually led to the tomb's successful completion. 'By early 2000, the remedial work to modify the foot of the National War Memorial was completed and the tomb itself was crafted using the Legion's design template based on the altar at Vimy (Canadian National Vimy Memorial, in France),' he said. The soldier later lay in state at Parliament, and a ceremonial parade including a Royal Canadian Mounted Police mounted horse and a vintage gun carriage, escorted the solider to the final resting place. Her Excellency Governor General Mary Simon took part in the 25th anniversary event and shared her thoughts. She laid a wreath at the site, after which other special representatives including the Honourable Jill McKnight, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence, laid a Poppy at the tomb. 'As we mark 25 years since Canada's Unknown Soldier was laid to rest at the National War Memorial, I am deeply grateful to all Canadians who have served and sacrificed for peace and freedom. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier stands as a powerful tribute to those who have served, those who gave their lives, and those who will serve. Today and always, we honour them,' said Minister McKnight. The Governor General of that time, The Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson, was also present for the morning event. During the commemoration, several students from Glebe Collegiate Institute helped tell the story of one soldier - whose grave remains unknown - through some letters shared with his family during the First World War. Guests included representatives of Veteran groups, and community leaders. The placing of a Remembrance torch near the tomb, and a fly-past of a CH-147F Chinook helicopter also helped mark the ceremony. BGen (Ret'd) Daly ended his remarks thanking VAC for acknowledging this milestone and speaking about the legacy of Remembrance that will endure at the site. 'This tomb will forever stand as the focus of Remembrance for all those who have gone before us, for all those who serve today, and for all those who may be called upon again in the future,' he expressed. A second unknown soldier was recently laid to rest in Newfoundland , also the result of a project led by the Legion and supported by government. In May 2024, a special delegation traveled from Canada to France to receive the remains of an unknown First World War soldier from Newfoundland who served at Beaumont-Hamel in France; at a time when that province was a separate dominion of the British Empire and not yet part of Canada. On July 1, the unknown soldier was also interred at the refurbished Newfoundland National War Memorial which was rededicated to mark its 100th anniversary. Led by the Legion's Newfoundland Command, the event was planned and executed in close partnership with all levels of government and additional supporters.

About The Royal Canadian Legion Incorporated in 1926, the Legion is Canada's largest Veteran support and community service organization.
