News you need
BY LORRAINE CARPENTER
Tim Fontaine is the “Editor-in-Grand-
Chief” and head writer for Walking
Eagle News, two roles that — if you
know anything about newspapers and
comedy shows — reveal a lot about what
Fontaine’s website and Twitter account is:
a satirical take on Indigenous news.
More specifically, Walking Eagle News takes jabs at the way
Indigenous issues are handled by (mostly white) politicians
and reported by the media, while also occasionally poking fun
at Indigenous leaders, institutions and the community itself.
The Winnipeg-based former journalist specializes in
headlines like “Retail worker dies after not being allowed to
racially profile Indigenous customers,” “First Nations man
wakes up white after Indian Status card expires,” “‘Fading
from history’: Members of royal family appear translucent as
statues toppled in Manitoba” and “Country’s greasy, racist
pricks united in belief ‘nothing nefarious’ about graveyards
at schools.”
Considering the past year in Indigenous news in Canada,
there is plenty of serious and sometimes just dark material
for Walking Eagle News to address and to process. It
was partly the inherent darkness of the contemporary
Indigenous experience across the country that drove
Fontaine out of journalism after years working for CBC
Indigenous and APTN.
Four years after launching the site, Fontaine is in the early
stages of creating a Walking Eagle News radio broadcast/
comedy album that he predicts will be released come winter.
(Ideally, he’d love to add to the Walking Eagle Satirical
Universe with a limited-series TV show.)
I reached Fontaine by phone to talk about how his brand
began and the anger that continues to fuel it.

Exhibition until September 6, 2021:the 1st half
BY PAUL DESBAILLETS
Well it’s August and to tell the
truth I can’t believe how much has
happened in the world of football
over the past month!
At some point in July, I felt there was just too much
football going on — I was in “football burnout.”
However, as I write this column, I can’t wait for the
new football season to start in England (on Aug. 13).
Major tournaments wrapped up mid-July, but at the
moment the Olympics are ongoing. A few hours after
the printing of this magazine, the Women’s Canadian
National team will be going for gold!
The Men’s National team lost to Mexico in the semi-
finals of the Concacaf Gold Cup and have some re-
tooling to do.
At the EUROS, Italy was crowned European
Champions in penalty shootouts. Argentina was
victorious in COPA AMERICA vs. Brazil, with Leo Messi
finally winning his big silverware.
Reuben Dangoor @reubendangoor
Good timing on that as well, because after all the
conversations during the year about Mr. Messi, signing
a nice big contract at Barcelona means he’s not going
anywhere. (This is the result we all speculated about
and came to expect as he talked about wanting out of

CW: It’s interesting. Moving from Quebec to Ontario was
hard for me. The culture around preserving, especially, is not
the same. In Montreal, you head to Jean-Talon market and
they hand you five bushels, no problem. Here, the farmers’
markets are for people who live in condos — it feels like you
can just get a pint of something. I miss the strawberries. At
the same time, it’s been so cool as a fruit lover to be so close
to Niagara and a different climate where all these gorgeous
stone fruits come from. I got really lucky in discovering
a cool business that partners with a bunch of farmers in
Southern Ontario and delivers in Toronto — I spend a lot of
money with them, that’s where I got the tayberries.

Chiiild’s seat
BY DARCY MACDONALD
Shuttling around South Shore Brossard
from music lesson to music lesson
during his early aughts adolescence,
Chiiild remembers a fairly typical radio
diet of ’80s and ’90s FM radio hits as
the early soundtrack to his boyhood.
Artists from Moby and D’Angelo to Hall
& Oates and Stevie Wonder caught his
ear from the passenger seat.
“I was heavily affected by what was on the radio, the music
that I listened to from, like, just driving around with my parents
and stuff,” says the singer and composer/producer, born
Yonatan Ayal, speaking via Zoom from his Los Angeles home.
“You know, my mom was listening to Q92 at the time. And Mix
96 was always playing everywhere.
“You’re affected by that.”
His new project, Hope for Sale, is a sprawling listen, despite
its 31-minute playtime. Its soulful, at moments psychedelic
roots blend jubilation and melancholy with a sense of
familiar nostalgia for elements of pop music’s past. Chiiild
“When creating the music, if we remove the lyrics and just
focus on the music part of it, (sometimes) it’s like, ‘Oh, how searching, I’m searching, and I’m searching,” he explains. “That actually gives (the music) more context. Because you
cool would this be? Like, man, I really want to do this, like, “And then I almost only know what we did in hindsight. Like listen to it, and now you hear the story, and you’re like, ‘Oh,
Fleetwood Mac type bass thing.’ And then let’s try it with this with lyrics, or anything, until I read it back and I’m like, ‘Oh, I yeah! I remember what was playing on the radio. I remember
