Who are Canada's cardinals? A look at the five dignitaries ahead of the papal funeral
Cardinals from around the world are converging on Rome for the funeral of Pope Francis and upcoming meetings that will determine the next leader of the Catholic Church. A three-day public viewing is underway at St. Peter's Basilica ahead of a funeral Saturday. The mourning period is expected to be followed by several days of pre-conclave gatherings where many of the cardinals will meet for the first time. The conclave itself, during which the new pope is elected, is not expected to begin before May 5. Pope Francis died of a stroke and heart failure at age 88 after 12 years as the head of the Catholic Church. Canada has three cardinals and two retired cardinals, although not all can vote because of age restrictions. Here's a look at who they are: Thomas Collins Born: Jan. 16, 1947, in Guelph, Ont. Ordained to priesthood: May 5, 1973, in Hamilton Appointed cardinal: Feb. 18, 2012 Retired: March 25, 2023 History: As a youth, Collins considered becoming a teacher or lawyer but was inspired by his Grade 11 English teacher, Father Newstead at Bishop Macdonell Catholic High School, to enter the priesthood. He would go on to posts including Bishop of Saint Paul, Alta., on June 30, 1997; Archbishop of Edmonton on June 7, 1999 and Archbishop of Toronto on Jan. 30, 2007. He was part of the March 2013 conclave that elected Pope Francis. Education: Collins holds a master of arts in English from the University of Western Ontario, and a bachelor of arts in theology from St. Peter's Seminary in London, Ont. In 1978 he went to Rome to study sacred Scripture and the Book of Revelation at the Pontifical Bible Institute. In 1986, he received a doctorate in theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University. — Michael Czerny Born: July 18, 1946, in Brno, former Czechoslovakia, now Czechia; came to Canada with his family at age two, settling in Montreal Ordained to priesthood: 1973 for the Society of Jesus Appointed cardinal: Oct. 5, 2019 Education: Graduate studies at the University of Chicago in an interdisciplinary program in humanities, social thought and theology in 1978 History: Czerny's work has included positions with groups around the world dedicated to social justice, human rights, and addressing the spread of AIDS/HIV in Africa. He's currently Prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development in Vatican City, charged with defending migrants and issues around the environment. Pope Francis sent him on a humanitarian mission to Ukraine in March 2022 following the Russian invasion. Quote: Czerny reflected on his appointment as cardinal in an interview with Jesuits of Canada on March 10, 2020. 'This latest group continues to contribute to the variety and universality of the College of Cardinals. So, it is more and more reflective of the Church throughout the world and of other realities. And maybe more people will be able to say: 'Yes, among them there is my cardinal, there is a cardinal who somehow represents where I come from, how I live or what I face.'' — Francis Leo Born: June 30, 1971, in Montreal Ordained to priesthood: Dec. 14, 1996, in Montreal Installed as Archbishop of Toronto: March 25, 2023 Appointed cardinal: Dec. 7, 2024, in Toronto Titles: Chancellor of the University of St. Michael's College; president and founding member of the Canadian Mariological Society, which focuses on theology about the Virgin Mary; worked as a judge for the Canadian Appeal Tribunal; taught theology, spirituality and philosophy in cities including Montreal, Ottawa, and Canberra, Australia. Education: Graduate studies in canon law and diplomacy and international law; doctorate in systematic theology with a specialization in Mariology; a licentiate in philosophy, a diploma in classical studies and a graduate certificate in spiritual direction. Quote: This week, he reflected on the papacy's future. 'The church is a family. In this family, we have different members, brothers and sisters, and there's different roles and vocations and ministries and responsibilities, and then there's our spiritual father. So we're a little like orphans now, and so we turn to the Lord that he may inspire, that he may guide, he may lead.' — Gérald Cyprien Lacroix Born: July 27, 1957, in Saint-Hilaire-de-Dorset, Que. Ordained to priesthood: Oct, 8, 1988, in the Quebec City parish of Notre-Dame-de-la-Recouvrance. Appointed Archbishop of Quebec: Feb. 22, 2011 Appointed cardinal: Jan. 12, 2014 History: Lacroix worked as a missionary in Colombia before returning to Quebec in 2001. He eventually took over for Cardinal Marc Ouellet in 2011 as Archbishop of Quebec, and as cardinal three years later. Pope Francis appointed him to his nine-member Council of Cardinals in 2023 to serve as an adviser to the pope. Lacroix was named in a January 2024 filing in a 2022 class-action lawsuit against the archdiocese of Quebec. He was accused of touching a 17-year-old without her consent in Quebec City between 1987 and 1988. The lawsuit remains before the court. A church-led investigation found no evidence of sexual misconduct and he resumed his role after a six-month leave in July 2024 after a Vatican-mandated investigation found no evidence tying the senior church leader to sexual misconduct allegations. Observers say such allegations, which have not been proven in court, can derail a cardinal's chances of becoming pope. Quote: Lacroix reflected on the passing of Pope Francis in a statement Monday. 'We sadly acknowledge the passing of our beloved Pope Francis, a great servant of the Gospel and a lover of humanity. Despite the immense sadness of his departure, I give thanks to God for his life. His life and his teaching have brought us back to the source of the Gospel, which is Jesus Christ. May the Lord welcome him into eternal life.' — Cardinal Marc Ouellet Born: June 8, 1944, in La Motte, Que. Ordained to priesthood: May 25, 1968, in Amos, Que. Appointed Archbishop of Quebec: Nov. 15, 2002 Appointed cardinal: Oct. 21, 2003 During Elections Get campaign news, insight, analysis and commentary delivered to your inbox during Canada's 2025 election. Retired: Jan. 30, 2023. History: In 2013, Ouellet was touted as a front-runner to replace Pope Benedict XVI, a role that went to Pope Francis. Ouellet headed the powerful Dicastery for Bishops, the Vatican office that oversees the selection of new bishops, from 2010 until his retirement in 2023. He also was president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America. Ouellet was also named in the 2022 class-action lawsuit against the archdiocese of Quebec. He was accused by one woman of inappropriate touching, which he has denied, and he launched a defamation lawsuit over the assault allegation. Cardinals lose their eligibility to vote at 80, which Ouellet reached last June, though he is still eligible to be elected to the papacy.

'Generational' election: U.S. threats could drive higher voter turnout, experts say
'Definitely possible' more people in border communities will turn out to vote, professor says A "generational" election — that's how some political observers are describing the race unfolding in ridings across Canada right now. The stakes are high, with U.S. President Donald Trump threatening both Canada's economy and sovereignty. That could lead to higher turnout at the polls as Canadians decide which party is best equipped to tackle the threat, experts say. "We're dealing with an existential kind of an election where we're facing issues as a country that we have not seen before at any time in our history," said Cameron Anderson, professor of political science at the University of Western Ontario. "I think the situation that we're in would suggest that that turnout should be, I would think, robust or at the very least maintaining the kinds of levels that we've had federally in the last while," he said. The reality of Donald Trump crashes into the federal election Canadians expected to respond at ballot box to Donald Trump's threats Turnout in the last federal election was a little over 62 per cent — a notable drop from the 75 per cent averages of the 1980s, or the nearly 80 per cent turnout of the early 1960s. It's too soon to say just how high turnout could be this time around. Still, early indicators of voter engagement underscore the unusual and outsized effect a U.S. president is having on a political race north of the border. They also portend a potential reversal of years of declining turnout in Canadian elections, especially in border and trade-reliant regions like Windsor-Essex in southwestern Ontario, experts say. "It's definitely possible that you'll see higher turnout in those bordering ridings with the United States because they are so front and centre in this battle of rhetoric, and now action, that's being taken by the American government," said Julie Simmons, an associate professor of political science at the University of Guelph. "So we could see, definitely in those ridings, more attention to the campaigns than before and therefore more interest in voting them before," she added. Trump on Wednesday is set to announce a fresh tranche of tariffs against foreign nations, but the details are unclear. He's already implemented — and pulled back — 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports, and has maintained 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. The tariffs — particularly any targeting the automotive industry — could be devastating for Canadian manufacturing hubs like Windsor, economists and industry analysts have warned. U.S. auto tariffs may be less severe than initially thought, says Doug Ford The president has also repeatedly said he wants to make Canada the "51st state." "I think anytime people are on edge or uncertain that there is a chance to sort of take that energy and direct it towards civic engagement," said John Beebe, head of the Democratic Engagement Exchange at Toronto Metropolitan University. Beebe — whose team provides civic groups, such as YMCAs and libraries, nationwide with voter education and outreach materials — said interest seems "higher than normal" so far. "In terms of community organizations, there's definitely a recognition that this is a very consequential election," he said. Beebe said "it's always dangerous to try to predict" voter turnout. "But on this one, I'm willing to go a little bit more out on a limb. And I do think we could certainly see higher turnout than we've seen in recent provincial elections." Turnout in Ontario's February election was roughly 45 per cent, up slightly from the province's all-time low of 44 per cent in 2022. He said he's also hopeful turnout will be higher than the last federal election in 2021, when it was roughly 62 per cent. He said it "would be great" to see turnout hit 68 per cent, like it did in 2015 — the highest it's been since the 1990s. "A lot of it really will depend on the candidates and their ability to sort of put out a positive message," he said. Though Simmons says the U.S. threats could motivate voters in certain ridings, she points out that it failed to drive people to the polls more broadly in the recent Ontario election. "So on the one hand, we might expect that because it's a generational election, there would be a higher voter turnout," she said. "If we look at the precedent set by the provincial election, we might hesitate in drawing that conclusion at this time." But for Anderson, who teaches courses on Canadian elections and voting, two main factors determine turnout rates: Both "the stakes of the election" and "the sense of closeness" of the race. "In the most recent provincial election in Ontario, there we sort of had a winner from the start and there wasn't that sense of a close race," Anderson said. "And I think at some level the turnout rate reflected that." But federally, Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives and Mark Carney's Liberals sit fairly close in national polls. That tight race, combined with the U.S. threats, could motivate voters to hit the polls in higher numbers, Anderson said. New Majority, a non-profit focused on getting young people to vote, says it expects turnout to rise among those under 30 — but especially among 18 to 24-year-olds. "Turnout in 2021 was down due to the pandemic and a pause with on-campus voting — which we have confirmed is back this year," said Amanda Munday, a spokesperson for the organization. "Many young people we talk to are angry about their future and feel a great sense of dread and anxiety — but there is also awareness of the importance of mental health, and taking action, especially in light of the dangerous '51st state' rhetoric coming from the U.S.," Munday said. "We intend to reach tens of thousands of young people through our 1:1 efforts this federal election and hope to see turnout increase by at least 5 per cent for the 18-24 age group," she added.

Local candidates who have started door-knocking say they, too, have heard concerns about Trump. "Voters recognize this election is the most important of our lifetime — one that will shape our future, our country, and our way of life," said Liberal candidate Richard Pollock. "In Windsor West, voters are telling me they are worried about their jobs and families. They are deeply concerned about Donald Trump's tariffs, his threats of annexation, and the devastating impact these could have on the region's lifeblood: the auto industry," he said in a statement. Alex Ilijoski, the NDP candidate in Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore, says he's heard "from so many people about the direction the country is heading, especially with the ongoing uncertainty around tariffs and Donald Trump." "They're worried about their jobs, healthcare, and sky-high rent that is starting to price them out of the community," he added. Local Conservative candidates Mark McKenzie and Harb Gill did not respond to a request for comment.

Warren Buffett Told Students How He Got Rich Without Raising a Dime — Then Said: You're Already 'Living Better Than John D. Rockefeller'
didn't walk into wealth. He saved for five years just to buy his first stock. At a 2008 discussion with Dr. George Athanassakos and students at the Ivey Business School at the University of Western Ontario, Buffett gave a room full of future MBAs a reality check wrapped in charm—and accidentally delivered a masterclass in what actually matters. A student asked "How can you make money without investing a lot of money? Is it hard to raise money?" Buffet said, "Yes, well I didn't raise money." He then continued, "I bought my first stock when I was 11. I bought three shares of Citi Service Preferred. I spent five years saving 120 bucks. I saved money from when I was six until I was 11 and by that time I had enough money to buy three shares of a stock." Don't Miss: Here's what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy. Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die." No family fund. No private equity backer. Just five years of hustling as a kid. By the time he was 20, he'd scraped together $9,800—without any fixed strategy. "I wasn't anchored in any philosophy," he admitted. Then came Geico—the company that would change everything. "The first stock I bought where I invested heavily (I had invested three quarters of my net worth) is a stock now called Geico. I got very excited about that company. I just kept looking and I didn't worry. I was always having fun—even now. You can have fun working with small sums or big sums—I like playing the game." That phrase—playing the game—is key. Buffett didn't start investing to be rich. He did it because he loved it. "I didn't have to get rich in order to have a better life or for my kids to have a better life," he said. Trending: The secret weapon in billionaire investor portfolios that you almost certainly don't own yet. And by the time he came back to Omaha in 1956, he had about $175,000 saved. "At that time I thought it was enough to live the rest of my life." But money wasn't the only challenge—his age was. "My seven investors were not happy. They would not trust the gut instinct of someone as young as I. What does a 21-year-old know about managing money?" To ease their nerves, Buffett took an unusual route: he ran their money like it was his—and didn't tell them what they owned. "I said to these seven people we would form a partnership and the money would flow in the exact same way except they wouldn't know what they owned. I would treat the money as if it were my own. I wouldn't get paid unless they did well." Within a few years, he had 11 partnerships—all run out of his bedroom. No master plan. No business school blueprint. Just Buffett doing what made sense, day by day. Then he dropped one of the most Buffett things ever said: "If you think about it you are living better than John D. Rockefeller. If you want to watch the Super Bowl you just turn on the TV and watch it. If he wanted to see the World Series it would take him a long time to get there, and he would not have air conditioning and that type of thing."It wasn't about excess. It was about perspective. "The problem is not getting rich, but finding a game you enjoy and living a normal life." And in a moment that caught the room off guard, Buffett shifted from financial advice to life advice. "The most important thing is finding the right spouse," he said. "If you make the wrong decision on that you will regret it, there is a lot of pain involved, but if you have the right spouse it is just wonderful." But he didn't stop there. "The most important decision that you will make is that. If you make that one decision right I will guarantee you a good result in life." Today, everyone's looking for a shortcut—venture capital, overnight IPOs, a viral crypto play. But Buffett's story reminds us that long-term wealth is built on patience, obsession, and consistency—not starting capital. He didn't raise money. He raised standards. And in a world obsessed with external success, he doubled down on internal wins: a good spouse, a job you love, and the joy of staying in the game—not just cashing out. Turns out the most valuable thing Buffett ever picked wasn't a stock. It was his life strategy. Read Next:Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? .

Scientists Think Visitors From Another Star System May Have Infiltrated Our Galactic Neighborhood
Alpha Centauri is the star system closest to our Solar System, and it is likely that particles from it could be making their way over to or already be in our stellar neighborhood. To know what to expect, researchers used existing models to predict how many particles of different sizes may already exist in the Solar System and are possibly coming in from Alpha Centauri every year. Studying the ejection and transfer of particles from Alpha Centauri could tell us more about how material is exchanged between star systems. While interstellar objects ('Oumuamua, anyone?) have passed through our Solar System before, the origins of many of these objects remain unknown. Did they originate in a nearby star system? A distant one? A completely different galaxy? Unfortunately, it's not currently possible to track 'Oumuamua down for further study. Its highly eccentric orbit will take it too far for any spacecraft to reach or any telescope to observe. But that doesn't mean we have no interstellar subjects available for study—in fact, it turns out we have plenty of particles from another star system already here. The closest stellar system to us is the triple system Alpha Centauri. It's currently creeping closer to our Solar System at 79,000 km per hour (about 49,709 mph), and should be at its closest around 27,700 years from now. With that in mind, researchers Cole Gregg and Paul Wiegert from the University of Western Ontario decided to see how many Alpha Centauri objects might have made it to us already, and how many could eventually make it here in the future. 'A small number [less than 10 meteors] may currently be entering Earth's atmosphere every year,' Gregg and Wiegert said in a study soon to be published in the Planetary Science Journal, '[and] is expected to increase as Alpha Centauri approaches.' Alpha Centauri is a mature star system, at 5 billion years old. This means that most of the material in this system's protoplanetary disk has likely already dissipated, so it is not expected to release much debris out into space (though there might be material from the system in our asteroid belt and our distant Oort cloud). That said, the gravitational forces of more stars and planets make it more likely for material to scatter, and there may be planets orbiting its three stars (though, none have yet been confirmed). To find out if Alpha Centauri could be currently ejecting material, the researchers turned to existing models of how star systems usually eject debris. The models predicted that, despite the small number of objects from Alpha Centauri that are expected to make it all the way to Earth every year, there could be as many as a million over-one-hundred-meter-in-diameter-sized objects from the system already lurking in our Oort cloud (many smaller object and particles may also be among them). The problem is that the Oort cloud is on the outer edge of the Solar System. This would make potential Alpha Centauri objects—if they really are somewhere in there—difficult to observe. Though, it wouldn't be impossible. NASA's New Horizons Mission has a dust detector actively picking up on particles in the Kuiper belt that might have been leftovers from the formation of our Solar System. The Oort cloud is even further out, but despite a dwindling fuel supply, New Horizons may be able to hold on long enough to get out there and scan for the presence of something from Alpha Centauri. That said, the presence of these objects is not certain. There is also the issue of smaller particles from Alpha Centauri potentially not surviving the journey to the Solar System. They could be deflected by magnetic fields, slow down significantly due to drag in the interstellar medium, or end up decimated by extremely fast gas atoms or collisions with each other. For any particles that do survive and manage to enter the inner Solar System, the Sun's gravity will increase their velocity significantly. Even more particles could come from hypothetical comets—at least, they could if Alpha Centauri ejects as many as our Solar System—but these are unlikely to be observed. Whether these potential particles are actually detectable remains to be seen. 'A thorough understanding of the mechanisms by which material could be transferred from Alpha Centauri to the Solar System not only deepens our knowledge of interstellar transport,' the researchers said in the same study, 'but also opens new pathways for exploring the interconnectedness of stellar systems and the potential for material exchange across the galaxy.'
