  | | |  | | | | When I first met my friend Charlie Sark, I was on the set of a cooking show called Worth Our Salt. He looked at all of us there that day and said, “The first step to decolonizing our hearts and minds is to decolonize our palates.”
He then proceeded to make me the best pizza I had ever had in my life.
I spent the better part of a decade eating my way through some of America's greatest food cities. So when I moved to the East Coast of Canada, I never expected to have my mind blown by the cuisine of a place that still hosts community boiled dinners and where the primary starch is the humble potato. | | | | | Evelyn's picks: | | | | | | | |  | Moon Miss, Jennifer Crawford's alter-ego, had been born out of necessity — not just out of an ice cream pun that only a true Maritimer could make.
A team at CBC was working to produce a radio program and video documentary about Crawford's ascension from MasterChef Canada winner to a poster-fronting, trash-talking pro-wrestler.
It can feel like an impossible task to try and tell someone's story in a way that does it justice, especially when it requires unpacking painful moments and memories. To the team's surprise that's not how Jennifer saw it. | | | | | | | |  | | | The roar of the fans in a stadium may provide motivation and fuel for some basketball players, but Sister Betty Morrissey believes that true power lies in silence.
"I go in the dressing room, I say a prayer before and I say a prayer after," Morrissey says. "And when I go in … they're very quiet and you know their souls are being listened to." | | | | | | | |  | | | For Kayla Borden, driving is about freedom. “I’m not on anybody else’s time but my time,” she said.
Borden, 35, of Dartmouth, N.S., has added little touches of personality to her car, like the tiny pair of black leather boxing gloves hanging from the rearview mirror, and the radio tuned to her favorite independent campus station.
Most of the time, she says, she enjoys it. But in the last few years that’s changed when she sees a police car on the road. “It feels weird,” she said. “I’m always looking at my surroundings, like, are they going to stop me?” | | | | | | | |  | | | The Borja family is making a fresh start in Fredericton after a racist incident in their previous hometown of London, Ont.
Juan and Edna Borja and their daughter, Elisha, spoke out publicly last month when strangers called the police on them after seeing the family running an errand at a Shoppers Drug Mart.
Juan and Edna are Filipino Canadians and their adopted daughter, Elisha, is Caucasian, which led strangers to assume, and report to police, that she had been kidnapped. | | | | | | | |  | | | A hunger strike that happened four decades ago has brought people in Miawpukek First Nation together for remembrance and reflection.
People in the community of Conne River marked the 40-year milestone at the Ta'n Etl-Mawita'mk Community Centre, featuring four of the nine hunger strikers: Aubrey Joe, Billy Joe, Rick Jeddore and Miawpukek First Nation Chief Mi'sel Joe. | | | | | | | |  | | | Firefighter Melissa Martin is working toward entering the ranks of leadership at the Saint John Fire Department.
Martin, who's worked in the department for 15 years, is part of a professional development program that will steer her to the rank of lieutenant and potentially even fire chief, roles that have only been occupied by men in the department's 200-year history. | | | | | | | |  | | | Looking back, Aidan Godin never imagined he would help bring some P.E.I. representation to the Canadian National Para Hockey Championships.
"It was pretty exciting," said Godin. "I heard about it right away and was overwhelmed with excitement ... it's a big honour."
The Charlottetown athlete will be playing for another province, though. For the first time ever, New Brunswick is sending a team to the championships, which take place next month in Boucherville, Que. | | | | | | | |  | | | For 90 years, the Wo He Lo Club has been raising money to help buy hospital equipment for Prince Edward Island's most fragile babies. Wo He Lo stands for work, help and love — something the group still feels very strongly about.
The group has raised a whopping $1 million over the years for the provincial neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU, at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown. | | | | | | | |  | | | Ji Hyang Ryu is a self-taught visual artist who was born in Busan, South Korea, and is a full-time artist based in Riverview, NB. She was invited to create the latest header design for all in. Ji explains her inspiration behind the watercolour painting of cute animals living on the East Coast. | | | | | Listen |
