If you are interested in working in a trade that provides consistent work and good pay, consider auto refinishing. Auto refinishing is not the same was being a Mechanic; auto refinishers are concerned with the appearance of the vehicle, not the engine. The work is intense and detailed. Women account for 50% of all drivers but there are very few female auto mechanics and refinishers. The market is there as is the work and the next generation could change the landscape for female work. WHAT WOULD YOUR DAY TO DAY LOOK LIKE AS AN AUTO REFINISHER? Assess damage: Inspecting vehicles to determine the extent of damage caused by accidents, dents, rust and scratches to estimate repair costs. Surface preparation: Removal of old paint, sanding, and preparing surfaces for refinishing. Colour matching…

Springtime is all about layering, so consider investing in base layers, a transitional jacket, waterproof boots—clothes that won’t make you sweat but will still offer a bit of warmth and protection. Dos: • Do Choose Breathable Fabrics: As temperatures can fluctuate, opt for breathable materials. These fabrics will help regulate your body temperature and keep you comfortable. • Do Consider the Weather: Always be mindful of the daily forecast. Spring can be unpredictable, so layer in a way that allows you to easily add or remove pieces as needed. • Do Use Colour and Pattern: Layering doesn't mean you have to stick to one colour.

Hair Scare One day at school, I was sitting on the stairs hanging out with my friends during our free period like I usually do. When I got up, I noticed my hair was kind of caught on the stairs. One of my friends went to untangle me and noticed that I had laid my hair against a spot on the stairs that had a piece of gum stuck to it! We pulled my hair from the gum, but some of it was still stuck…I had to cut it out and was so sad, I love my long hair! Like…Not! I have a crush on this guy in my school, we’ve never spoken but I know his Insta through mutual friends. One night, I was scrolling his photos just to…

Since Donald Trump took office, for the second time, he has suggested that the US will gain control of Greenland, after showing renewed interest in acquiring the autonomous Danish territory. "I think we're going to have it," he told reporters on Air Force One, adding that the island’s 57,000 residents "want to be with us”. His comments come after reports that Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen insisted Greenland was not for sale in a fiery phone call with the President. Trump floated the prospect of buying the vast Arctic territory during his first term in 2019, and has said US control of Greenland is an "absolute necessity" for international security. Greenland lies on the shortest route from North America to Europe, making it strategically important for the US. It is…

Tariffs have been in the news a lot lately with the Trump administration arriving in Washington, again. President Trump has determined to increase tariffs on China and introduce new tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Canada and Mexico have maintained a friendly relationship with the US in recent years with a long-standing free trade agreement. This agreement appears to be ending, and perhaps the friendliness too. So, a tariff is a tax—it’s about money, but it’s also about politics, relationships, culture and the power of negotiation. Is Trump really pursuing tariffs for monetary gain or to send a message for future negotiations? A tariff is a tax on products that go from one country to another. Governments most commonly collect tariffs on products brought into their countries. Tariffs earn money for…
