ONE HELL OF A WARRIOR

By Michel Tre skin The bravery and noble causes of a First Nations Canadian war hero.

O

nce in a while, you might stumble on something or someone extraordinary who has shaped the future in one way or another. It could be an event such as the first flight of the Wright Brothers in 1907 or the first successful moon landing. The latter was incredible for two reasons: the mission itself, and the astronauts who accepted the challenge and the risk. Incredible guts for incredible glory.

I I N TA M A G A Z I N E | J U LY 2 0 2 2 | 2 3

This time around, we turn our attention to a very special Canadian that I stumbled upon while reading some obscure historical facts about the first World War. An ordinary man with an incredible gift and incredible courage. Once you read about this person, you will want to know more about him.

A LIFE DEVOTED TO SERVICE Francis Pegahmagabow, a First Nations Canadian soldier, was born in 1891 in Parry Sound, Ontario. His ‘nom de guerre’ was Peggy for obvious reasons. He was a soldier who became a politician as well as an activist after the war.

A skilled marksman, Francis had an eye for long distance rifle shooting and specialized as a sniper for the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Serving from 1914 to 1919, he participated in some of the most vicious battles in the European theater. Battles such as the Battle of the Somme, and the Battle of Passchendaele where over 217,000 enemy soldiers died over the course of six months.

Francis became the most highly decorated First Nations soldier in Canadian military history. He was also the most effective sniper of the first World War, having been credited with killing 378 enemy soldiers and even capturing over 300. He was awarded the Military Medal three times, as well as two bars, plus many more comendations for his courage and valour.

SETTING HIMSELF APART Francis showcased his heritage and individuality without shame. Never afraid to stand apart from his fellow soldiers, he would decorate his tent with traditional symbols, including the caribou.

He wore his identity with pride.

Once wounded in the leg, as soon as he’d healed, he was back doing heroic deeds.

Francis was fearless, and many times his courage and determination vis a vis his fellow soldiers were demonstrated in heavy combat.

At one point, when his company was running out of ammunition, he decided on a fast sprint across No Man’s Land to get more ammo for his comrades. Another medal added for this incred-

Headdress and medals of Francis Pegahmagabow.

ible display of fearlessness.

Francis was born to lead. Following his ancestors’ footsteps, he was elected Chief of the Parry Island band in 1921. After becoming a councillor in the Department of Indian Affairs, he made sure all First Nation Chiefs directed all correspondence to a selected Indian agent, which unfortunately backfired. Hoping that all complaints would be taken care of according to the constitution, it instead created many rifts and didn’t resolve any problems. Francis wanted all along to free his people from ‘’white slavery’’.

He fought the government to recognise the Parry Islands as Indian land with other Chiefs. In 1943, we became the Supreme Chief of the Native Independent Government. A precursor to an early First Nation organization.

LEGACY OF A HERO Francis had 6 children and he died where he was born, on his beloved Parry Island Reserve in 1952 at the young age of 61. Later inducted into the Indian Hall of Fame through the Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford, Ontario, he is also remembered by his regiment with a plaque on the Algonquin Regiment Fitness Trail in Parry Sound. The Canadian Forces further honoured this extraordinary man by naming one of their Ranger Patrol Group HQs in Borden after him.

Rest in peace Warrior Peggy, and thank you for your service and sacrifice!

A PASSENGER’S DILEMMA

By Michel Tre skin What role do you play in the safety of your flight and fellow passengers?

I

stopped flying as a Captain many years ago and now do most of my flying around the world as a passenger. It makes me wonder what I would do if there was a disruptive passenger on board and the safety of the cabin crew and other passengers were in jeopardy.

A NEW GENERATION OF PASSENGERS It has been happening too many times around the world, but mostly concentrated in the Americas. You read about it almost on a daily basis so that it has practically become expected if you are travelling nowadays. During my time as a flight crew member and operating the aircraft, once we reached the cruising altitude, the cockpit (flightdeck) door would open and we would invite passengers to come up and check out the office. It all changed after 9/11. However, even during those times where alcohol was being

served for free on every flight, you never saw or heard any problems with drunk and disorderly passengers. Cabin crew were never trained on how to deal with a verbally or physically aggressive passenger because it never really happened in those good old days.

It just didn’t happen. So what changed? I don’t think we could pinpoint exactly what happened to the new generation of passengers.

DECIDING ON INTERVENTIONS We saw an increase of aggression during the times that the COVID face mask requirements were in place. It is still a concern in some parts of the world where masks are still in force in the cabin. Add some alcohol consumption to some passengers who are prone to losing it when intoxicated, plus the mask requirements while flying, and you have a powder keg ready to

I I N TA M A G A Z I N E | J U LY 2 0 2 2 | 2 9

explode.

The question remains of what the travelling passenger’s rights are if the cabin crew is being physically harmed and overwhelmed by an assailant. Do we get involved or do we sit complacently? Do we watch the drama unfold, or do we act and help?

Today’s cabin crews are trained and ready to deal with these extreme conditions.

There are protocols to follow, and they include verbal and written warnings before drastic measures are to be used. It may happen prior to boarding where a passenger is observed acting abnormally, or potentially on board if the behaviour begins during the boarding. At this point, he might be reminded to snap out it and stay calm or else he will be asked to get off the airplane. If he refuses, in rare cases, the Captain might be asked to speak to the passenger and advise him of his options.

Once airborne, it becomes more complicated and more expensive if a diversion is re-

quired to deplane an unruly passenger. It might come to a point where the passenger might become physical with the cabin crew. The last line of defense, if you want to call it that, is restraining the passenger to his seat or somewhere away from the other passengers like the galley.

The local authorities would be advised and waiting for the aircraft to land where they would probably board first before disembarkment and take the unruly passenger away in handcuffs.

LAST RESORTS Unfortunately, it doesn’t go smoothly all the time. Passenger intervention is sometimes required to assist cabin crew who are overwhelmed and need desperate help. Usually, they will ask passengers who look strong

3 0 | I I N TA M A G A Z I N E | J U LY 2 0 2 2

enough and who are willing to get involved.

You have the right to say no if you are asked. It is all up to you. There will be lots of others who will be willing to get their hands dirty and help a fellow crew member in distress. The good news is nowadays, any flight disruption is a huge offence and it carries severe conse-

quences including jail time.

Happy landings everyone and stay safe.

felt similar to the fun cloak and dagger secrecy we’ve been deploying in our dinners from the beginning: meeting with the mayor, flying secretly to Paris, and pushing hard to make this a reality for our beloved city. Why did we work so hard for this? Because we believe in Toronto’s food scene.

IN CELEBRATION OF TORONTO Since our first dinners in 2009, our whole raison d’être has been the celebration of our city, its great chefs, restaurants, and food culture.

n May 10th, 2022, the Mayor of Toronto, John Tory alongside Chef Daniel Boulud, representatives from the Michelin Guide, as well as Franco Stalteri and Donato Carozza from Charlie’s Burgers announced that the Michelin Guide was coming to Canada, with Toronto being the first city to have a guide. This is really exciting for us at the CB team, and it’s something we’ve been working on, and keeping a secret for, well, a really long time.

A BIG ARRIVAL While the process is still steeped in secrecy, we are now able to tell you that we at Charlie’s Burgers planted the seed and started the project to bring the Michelin Guide to Toronto and Canada many years ago. We worked hand-in-hand with the Michelin Guide, the City of Toronto, and the Province of Ontario to help make this all happen. A lot of these meetings

their amazing cuisine to Toronto, but to show the world that Toronto is also a great food destination, one with the talent and culture to rival the best food cities in the world.

Our passion for the restaurant industry in Toronto was the reason we started working on the Michelin Guide Toronto all those years ago.

It was an honour, privilege, and life-long dream to be able to be involved in the Micheline Guide Toronto project since its inception. We can’t wait for this fall, when the very first Toronto guide will be unveiled and the Toronto Michelin stars announced!

THIS IS HOW YOU SURVIVE THE SUMMER While Maintaining Your Goals

By Anna Rhymer With some planning, you can have it all.

W

e all wait with bated breath for the sun to shine and warm our bodies after a long Canadian winter!

The camping, the long walks, the beach, the late nights... all the idyllic moments made up of smiles and fun, but at what cost to our health?

Mixing Goals With Life’s Pleasures Summer can be euphoric in so many ways and intimidating in many others. The temptations of smores and spider dogs at the bonfire, the day drinking, the picnics, and the parties, all of these present a great irony to our health and wellness journey. Many of us, especially post-pandemic, are making our overall wellness and health a top priority, and as much as we want to enjoy all the luxurious decadence that the season presents, we don’t want to risk going backwards with our health, our fitness, and our overall goals. This seems to be a little coun-

terintuitive to most—I know I don’t want to miss out on anything stellar, nor will I feel deprived in the few short months of glorious warmth and adventures that ensue in the hottest of calendar days! How can we have our cake and eat it too?

Is this an option? How can we not miss out on a single desire this summer, but also not sacrifice our physical and mental health goals?

Let’s look at this critically and plan!

Sometimes it’s as simple as a mindset shift and a little extra creative thinking to manage our own expectations. Sometimes, we just need to think outside the box with our everyday routine and get some new tips, tricks, and ideas. Rewrite the story if you must!

Let’s break it down into categories. Let’s start with movement. We all know that movement is the smallest piece of the puzzle in the “exercise versus nutrition for results” conversation, but it’s omnipotent for its own many bene-

I I N TA M A G A Z I N E | J U LY 2 0 2 2 | 3 9

fits.

Not everybody is going to feel excited to lace up the shoes, throw the gym bag over the shoulder, and walk into a commercial space and start lifting weights. In fact, it’s more likely that most people would prefer to get outside and go for a brisk walk after supper with a friend or family member, have a weekend kayak paddle, hit a tennis or a golf ball, or participate in something more social. It’s important that we all get a little bit of movement for a plethora of reasons.

These include the staving off osteoporosis with weight-bearing activities, maintenance and building of muscle mass, increase of cardiovascular and pulmonary function, and the releasing of “happy” brain chemicals, to name a few wonderful things! So, who says we need to do sets of bicep curls to be healthy?

Plan for Accountability & Support Plan and share your plan with a friend or loved one. Everything is more fun with a partner! Hold each other accountable to get out for a hike,

make a “walk ‘n talk” date, plan for the park with kiddies, etcetera. Book activities in advance so you’re sure to execute them! This is such a simple idea but so integral to not letting our days run away. Next thing you know, it’s 9pm and you are having a drink around the fire or on the couch in preparation for relaxing and hitting the hay. It’s an elementary process in theory, but it’s as simple as this to integrate a new habit. Before you know it, it’s a sustainable lifestyle that comes as second nature as picking up your phone to check your social media.

So, let’s tackle the biggest piece of the puzzle now…FOOD! Oh food…how we love and hate it at the same time. Summer brings about so many nutritional challenges when we start adding weddings, events, camping, day trips, and any excuse to have a “treat”. But how do the treats affect us?

Imagine finding yourself in a situation where you consider eating extra smores and hotdogs or at another event where you think about how you’re not supposed to miss out on a 5-course meal and exotic desserts for a special occasion. There’s nothing wrong with these at all. However, how does it really affect our minds and our bodies? Let’s start with mindset.

Most of us are aware of our body’s physical shape and that’s a cold fact. We want better health, and we want to be a little leaner. We want to be a little more energetic and we want to sleep better. When we indulge ourselves with the fun yet unhealthy food, we often do this with shame and guilt as we are aware that they aren’t serving our higher purpose and goals.

Processed foods, simple sugars, and alcoholic beverages all taste great, but they quickly bring your energy down, mess with your blood sugar, and ultimately do the opposite of what we want to achieve—bouncy, happy, and fun moments! So, what do we do around the fire

4 0 | I I N TA M A G A Z I N E | J U LY 2 0 2 2

to enjoy the fruits of the season? Here’s an idea that we suggest you live by—the lesser of the evils, the balance in the beast.

Substitute Old Favourites With New Ones For instance, if you ever find yourself at a bonfire and you want a healthier option for sausages, spider dogs are the way to go. Loved by kids and adults across the world, you can easily find these natural hotdogs and have them sliced up at each end and roasted. Besides a bit of nitrates (don’t worry—a bit means very little), they are just salty protein snacks. Plus, with the heat of summer, a little extra salt will help you not be harmed in the hydration department!

If you love outdoor activities like hiking, picnics, and camping, it’s always more convenient to choose processed “on the go” boxed foods that are easy to transport and prepare.

If that isn’t some commercial programming, I don’t know what is! Now if you want a healthier option, it will only take you 7 minutes to prepare the most amazing Tupperware charcuterie ever. Just prepare a few cucumber slices, baby

tomatoes, celery, carrots, apple slices, grapes, chunks of old cheese, olives, natural deli meat, smoked canned oysters, a few rice crackers, and some bubbly flavored water, and voila—a masterpiece in a backpack has been born! This all nutrient-dense and yummy finger food will fuel you with zero crash post consumption.

Don’t you just love the win-win odds?

How about managing those workdays when you come home in the heat of the day

and feel obligated to cook a nutritious meal but it’s too hot to fathom standing over a stove and preparing a wholesome meal for yourself and your family? Multifunctional cooking tools have never been a huge draw but somehow, the chef’s celestial powers forced me into purchasing an air fryer. I used it as a counter ornament for months before I finally decided to try it. First, it was tested with a quality steak, seared with grill marks on the outside and red in the center.

It was all quick, perfect, and surprisingly successful. I have also attempted a few other proteins like ribs, salmon, and homemade burgers.

Its precision, speed, and quality were unparalleled.

Upon further exploration, the air fryer turned out to be the perfect quick and efficient tool for the job—an everything job! You could cook carb-free Turnip fries, roasted garlic Brussels, sweet potato fries, and the list goes on, and on, and on. The moral of this meal preparation story is that when time and temperature are of essence, this handy, dandy little machine will

4 2 | I I N TA M A G A Z I N E | J U LY 2 0 2 2

accelerate the perfect cooking of any protein, many veggies, and a salad or fresh veg. Results produced in just T-minus 20 minutes or less.

These tasty tips and tricks on beating the heat, capitalizing on little time, and feeling like a million bucks on the inside and on the outside take only a minimal amount of foresight and effort, and you’ll be living your best life, regardless of the season. Food is thy medicine and medicine will be thy food. It will make or break your mood. It will make or break your goals, and it will make or break your health. It is okay to be gentle with yourself and indulge in the treats with which we are presented with. However, if you practice the 80/20 rule of nutritious whole foods 80% of the time and 20% of the time you’re less mindful, you will win! It’s always the long game with life, not the short game.

Now get out there and enjoy this marvelous summer season!
