Amazon’s annual Prime Day summer sales event runs today through July 13. The e-commerce giant is offering a flurry of deals designed to entice consumers, who are growing ever more cost-conscious as prices rise—and competitors such as Target are counterprogramming with their own sales.
Speaking of Amazon, “Bezos,” an indie biopic about, yes, Jeff Bezos (Armando Gutierrez) and his early quest to launch “the world’s largest bookstore,” opens in select U.S. theaters.
Inflation well above target, consumer sentiment at all-time low
The market is favouring a 75bp rate hike from the Federal Reserve on 27 July and we agree given the tight jobs market and inflation running at more than four times the 2% targeted rate. In fact, inflation is likely to move even further above target this coming week as gasoline, food, shelter and airline fares continue to rise apace. Core inflation may slow marginally to 5.8% from 6%, but this too is well above target.
We will also be looking out for the University of Michigan consumer confidence index. It recently fell to an all-time low as the rising cost of living and plunging stock markets weighed on sentiment. This obviously is not encouraging for consumer spending growth, and we will also be closely following the inflation expectations series. It spiked last month (subsequently revised lower) and this was seen by many as the trigger for the Fed to signal it was going to hike by 75bp in June rather than the 50bp it had laid the groundwork for. Another strong reading for inflation expectations should all but confirm a second consecutive 75bp move later this month.
Canada’s housing market provides strong resilience against spikes in price
We expect the Bank of Canada to implement a 75bp move at its July 13 meeting. The economy is growing strongly, is at record employment levels and its inflation rate is running at 7.7%, the fastest rate since January 1983. The housing market is also red hot while Canada’s strong commodity-producing sectors mean it is far more resilient than most major economies to the spike in prices.
Weakening demand and negative trade balance
Eurozone industry continues to struggle with supply chain problems, while signs of weakening demand have also become more apparent. Both are bad news for a recovery in production although we do see some improvements in supply chains that may help production to catch up in the months ahead. Backlogs of work are still sizable, so don’t expect a sudden drop in May production figures due to weaker demand just yet. Nevertheless, the outlook for industry remains soft at the moment. Also, look out for the trade balance, which is set to be negative again on the back of high energy prices and a difficult export environment.

Following two years of restrictions, organizers are ‘beyond thrilled to once again host the annual Festival and Parade in downtown Bracebridge’
NEWS RELEASE
MUSKOKA PRIDE COMMUNITY
***************************
Muskoka Pride has announced that the 2022 Muskoka Pride Week will run from July 14 to July 24. The annual week of activities celebrates the Muskoka lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community.
This year’s Pride celebration is a return to pre-pandemic events, including the first Festival and Parade since 2019, explains Merv Taylor-Morin, president of Muskoka Pride.
“For the past two years, we have continued to celebrate Pride Week in smaller ways, following the COVID restrictions in place at the time. We are beyond thrilled to once again host the annual Festival and Parade in downtown Bracebridge this year,” Taylor-Morin said.
Muskoka Pride board member Shawn Forth explains: “It is so important for members of the LGBTQ+ community to see themselves represented in the greater community. When you identify as LGBTQ+ and grow up in a small community, you can feel isolated and as if you are the only one. It is important for there to be LGBTQ+ visibility in our communities.”
Forth explains that just last month, Muskoka Pride donated rainbow benches to all municipalities in Muskoka to help ensure a year-round visible symbol of the commitment to diverse and inclusive communities. The funding was provided through the District of Muskoka’s Community Enhancement grant.
IN-PERSON EVENTS
Muskoka Pride Week will feature in-person events throughout Muskoka over 11 days.
Pride Week starts off with the theatrical production Twelfth Night by Timberbeast Productions on Thursday, July 14, at the Gravenhurst Wharf gazebo.
The party starts on Friday, July 15, with Disco Muskoka. In partnership with the Huntsville Theatre Company, Muskoka Pride is hosting a disco party at Canvas Brewery in Huntsville. Tickets are available on the HTC website.
Pride Church Services will be held on July 17 at Trinity United Church in Gravenhurst and on July 24 at Bracebridge United Church.
On Thursday, July 21, Bracebridge Hall will host MQFF After Dark, a film screening for 19+ which features films from this year’s Muskoka Queer Film Festival that could not be broadcast due to content. Tickets are available on the Muskoka Pride Website or pay at the door.
FLAG RAISINGS
All municipalities in Muskoka will be raising the Progress Pride flag on Monday, July 19. Members of the public are encouraged to join us for ceremonies at their local municipality office to celebrate the annual flag raising.
DRAG SHOWS
Muskoka Drag Royalty is holding four events this year, including Drag Trivia at Bracebridge Barrelhouse on July 18, a 19+ show at Sawdust City Brewery on July 22, and two all-ages shows on July 20 and July 24.
FAMILY EVENTS
Muskoka Pride has taken great care to ensure that many events are geared toward the entire family. Many families participate to show their allyship with the community, to support their LGBTQ+ family members, and as an opportunity for their families to experience their first Pride Festival.
The annual Six Mile Lake boat parade will take place on Saturday, July 16, at 6 Mile Lake in Georgian Bay Township, starting at 1 p.m.
The annual Rainbow Road Tour on Sunday, July 17, which was first introduced during the pandemic, will take place again. It is a great opportunity for the entire family to tour around Lake Muskoka. This year’s route will incorporate some of the newly installed rainbow benches and will end with a BBQ and musical performance at Muskoka Brewery.
Tuesday, July 19, is Pride Night at the Muskoka Drive-In. Featuring three short films from the Muskoka Queer Film Festival (MQFF) and the feature film Dawn, Her Dad, and the Tractor, tickets are available on the Muskoka Pride website or pay cash at the gate.
On Thursday, July 21, the 10th annual Muskoka Pride Mini-Golf Tournament will be held at Northern Escapades Mini Putt. Families and individuals can golf for a special rate between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. and try for their chance at the trophy.
Two Drag Shows are planned, which are aimed at all ages: Wednesday, July 20, a Driveway Drag Show is planned at a private residence in Bracebridge, and the Memorial Park Drag Show is planned as part of the annual Pride Festival on Sunday, July 24. Both shows feature many local performers from Muskoka Drag Royalty.
Muskoka Bay Resort is hosting a Pride Pool Party on Saturday, July 23, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. It will feature live music, games, prizes, and food. Admission is free. Please contact the resort to add your name to the guest list.
FESTIVAL AND PARADE
For the first time since 2019, Muskoka Pride will host the annual Pride Festival in Memorial Park on Sunday, July 24t, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., featuring vendors, live music, and activities for the family. The band Dirty Little Swing Thing will be performing under the bandshell, and local singer Briar Summers will be performing on a second stage. Muskoka Drag Royalty will be hosting a drag show starting at 2:30 p.m.
The annual Pride Parade will take place at 12:30 p.m. on Manitoba Street. This year, the parade will be starting at Memorial Park and going through downtown Bracebridge.
Everyone, no matter how you identify, is welcome to attend Muskoka Pride events.
Muskoka Pride receives funding from the Government of Canada through the Local Festivals – Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage grant.
We would like to thank our Silver Sponsors: The Town of Bracebridge, YWCA Muskoka, TD Ready Commitment, Muskoka Bay Resort, and Deerhurst Resort. We would also like to acknowledge our Bronze Sponsors: McMaster’s Muskoka, Lakeland Networks and our Media Sponsor: Star Metroland Media.

One of the best romantic dramas to come out of this year’s Sundance Film Festival is entirely true.

All of the work assembled from queer icons like Peter Berlin, George Platt Lynnes, and Will McBride is redolent of the summer season.

9. “Dana Sherwood: The Cake Eaters” at Denny Dimin Gallery, New York
Bring your appetite to this fantastical visual feast from Dana Sherwood, inspired by her imaginings of life with a horse for a mother, and all the dessert she would have eaten in such a scenario. Each work shows a woman snug inside an animal’s stomach, sitting before an array of tasty baked goods—the foods we are instructed to deny ourselves. “We need to be nurtured inside of animals’ bodies, precisely because we are not nurtured otherwise in Western society,” Sherwood said in her artist’s statement.

OPEN HOUSE: Saturday, July 9th, 2:00pm to 4:00pm. You are invited to visit the gallery to celebrate the 3rd week of OPEN STUDIO. Stop in to meet the artists and see what they have been up to during their time in the space.
THE ARTISTS: ALISON NORLEN is an artist widely respected, nationally and internationally, for her large-scale drawings and sculptural installations. Her work is set apart by its intricate detail and grand scale. She is fascinated by cultural artifice, often focusing her work around subjects like theme parks, circuses, carnival celebrations, roadside attractions and other sites of cultural spectacle. Her work is held in many private and public collections. She lives and works in Saskatoon, where she is a Professor of painting and drawing at the University of Saskatchewan.
BREANNE BANDUR is an artist rooted in drawing. Her approach to the practice and medium is experiential, embodied, and deeply tied to process. For Bandur, drawing takes place both within and outside of herself. Intuition is central to this engagement. She considers the act of mark making as it relates to inner thought and feeling, considering how marks on a surface give physical form to immaterial thoughts, feelings, and impulses. Drawing materialize the intangible, becoming a path to understanding, and ultimately, a way to make sense of the world.
EMILY ZDUNICH is an interdisciplinary artist, and community art facilitator, of European settler descent with Ukrainian and Croatian ancestry. She has developed a figurative practice in painting, drawing and installation sculpture. She investigates the concept of the body in relationship to others and self. Her focus is on the human condition and explorating connections between the physical body and the emotional body.
FIJI ROBINSON is a Saskatoon artist with a background in communications and documentary, who now works primarily in photography and installation. She has a strong interest in social and environmental justice. Her current project, which she will be working on during Open Studio, imagines the River Souls, a community of mythical creatures that project the river and river valley.
KELSEY FORD is a Canadian artist and printmaker working out of Saskatoon. She received her B.F.A. with a minor in French from the University of Saskatchewan in 2019. She works primarily in serigraphy, but also enjoys working with textiles to create mixed media pieces and larger installations. Her work often incorporates repurposed or used materials with more modern mediums through collage techniques. By combining traditional and moern structures, she hopes to draw new parallels and comparisons between past and present.
LAUREN WARRINGTON is a Saskatoon-based artist who received her Bachelor of Fine Arts High Honours from the University of Saskatchewan in 2019. Her practice revolves around the interplay of physical and virtual environments, incorporating printmaking, sculpture, digital animation, and virtual reality. Through her work, Lauren explores conventions associated with race, femininity, and how identity develops in an era dependent on technology.
LEANNE MUNCHINSKY is a multi-disciplinary artist from Saskatoon. She holds a B.F.A. and BEd from the University of Saskatchewan. With a deep-rooted curiosity, her art practice centres around learning, experimenting, and evolving. She enjoys facilitating workshops, creating art, volunteering in her community, and collaborating with other artists. Her subject matter is diverse, including portraiture, still-life, and landscape. The main theme in her current work centers around subject matter that inspires feeling during a time of general global distress.
