At the age of 17, Mike Thompson-Hill dropped out of high school and began a career in tattooing. 16 years later he says he has seen the industry relocate from the fringes of society to the mainstream.
A couple decades ago, tattoos were still largely seen as the domain of sailors, bikers or prisoners. But from the hugely successful Miami Ink (and its spinoffs LA Ink, London Ink and NY Ink) to the recently released “Tattoo Barbie,” tattoos are now undeniably widespread.

The Bank of Canada is getting rid of its paper money, and I couldn’t be more excited. I can’t wait until its replacement, plastic polymer money, starts getting fully phased in and I don’t have to worry about sending my bills through the washing machine and losing $20.

It’s true that I could say something like, “The Eiffel tower is purple!” It’s true that it would be my opinion, but we all know that facts and science and about a trillion photographs could prove me wrong.

Kyle Quinlan has seen just about everything this season.
Since late August, the star McMaster Marauders quarterback has dealt with lofty expectations for his team, a crushing early-season loss to Ontario powerhouse Western and a three-game suspension after an altercation involving an undercover police officer.
