Karsh's photo of Churchill stolen.

I've been to Karsh's suite in the Chateau Laurier - they had his photo of George Bernard Shaw over the fireplace. I interviewed Karsh's assistant who told me she slapped Churchill on the back when she saw him in Parliament! "Good old Winnie!" she said. https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2022/08/22/famed-portrait-of-winston-churchill-by-yousuf-karsh-swiped-from-chteau-laurier-in-ottawa.html

Filming a commercial





The Loblaw's group of food stores has a 'no name' brand that comes in yellow with black type packaging. This would be what a supermarket in the TV series The Prisoner would look like.
