Marie-Chantal will do odd jobs when possible, but there isn't much free time when you're a mom by yourself. Author of the article: Erik Leijon  •  Special to Montreal Gazette Donations to the Montreal Gazette Christmas Fund this year can be made exclusively online at www.christmasfund.com. Marie-Chantal’s 3 1/2-year-old daughter can’t wait to enter kindergarten. Her proud mom said she’s inquisitive for her age, has received rave reviews from her daycare about her empathy toward others, and has demonstrated a remarkable independence beyond her years. Advertisement This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. “She wants to be a bit like her mom,” Marie-Chantal said. “She always says she wants to work. She helps with cooking, like cracking eggs. She even asks to do housework, like washing the dishes.” Marie-Chantal has been told her child is further developed than most of her peers, and it’s motivating Marie-Chantal to make up for lost time. Raised by an anglophone mother and francophone father, Marie-Chantal went to English school and fell behind in French. When her father passed, she lost contact with that side of the family, making it even harder to communicate. She’s taking classes now, and once she’s…

Daniel doesn't know how much time he has left, but he's not letting his health problems affect who he is at heart. Author of the article: Erik Leijon  •  Special to Montreal Gazette Donations to the Montreal Gazette Christmas Fund this year can be made exclusively online at www.christmasfund.com. As a master welder for many years, Daniel learned to fix or build just about anything. Aircraft, submarines, houses — you name it, he said, he’s worked on it. Advertisement This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. In retirement, his health has been failing him. First because of workplace hazards, which have wreaked havoc on his lungs, and then earlier this year, he spent a week in a coma after fluid built up around his brain. Daniel said there isn’t much else to do but keep a positive outlook. “That’s life; you’ve gotta roll with the punches,” he said. “The doctors say my brain condition is killing me slowly.” As a child, Daniel entered the family business, first working with jewelry before moving on to metals. His wife, who died seven years ago, had two master’s degrees, so the pair made sure to instil the value of…

Hawkeye has always made for something of a hard target in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. From his brief introduction in Thor (2011), to his recent stab at redemption as Ronin in Avengers: Endgame (2019), Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) has always been the most underexplored of the original Avengers. Chalk it up to Avengers filmmaker Joss Whedon’s decision to keep him brainwashed for the majority of The Avengers (2012), a nod to his comic counterpart’s villainous origin, or the fact that a guy who shoots arrows is always going to have a more difficult time standing out amidst monsters, gods and super-soldiers, Hawkeye has never been anyone’s favorite Avenger. Despite the character’s long comic book history as the one-time leader of the West Coast Avengers, and a former carnie forever trying to live up to Steve Rogers, even if that meant butting heads with him, much of that history never made it to the screen. Renner, who imbued the character with a sense of warmth, and weary doggedness against ever-escalating threats, has been given a handful of memorable moments in the MCU, but rarely a chance to dig his heels into…
