Roots Canada

Roots Corporation (better known as Roots or Roots Canada) is a publicly traded retail clothing business. It was co-founded by fashion designers and businessmen Michael Budman and Don Green. The first Roots store opened in Toronto in 1973 and Roots, with its beaver logo and cottage feel, grew into a recognizable Canadian brand. In 2015, Budman and Green sold a majority stake to Searchlight Capital Partners, though the founders remain prominent shareholders. In October 2017, Roots made its initial public offering (IPO) in Canada, trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol ROOT. In 2022, Roots reported a net income of $6.7 million.

Royal Canadian Air Farce

The Royal Canadian Air Farce was a satirical sketch comedy troupe best known for their long-running shows on the CBC, first as a weekly radio program (1973–97) and then as a TV series (1993–2008) and an annual New Year’s Eve special (1992–2019). The Air Farce routinely lampooned Canadian politics and politicians, current affairs and pop culture, among other subjects. It began as an improvisational stage revue focused on topical humour and evolved over time into rehearsed sketch comedy. In addition to radio and television, the troupe produced home audio and video releases, books, live stage productions and national tours. The troupe has been inducted into the Canadian Comedy Hall of Fame and Canada’s Walk of Fame.
