Whether it's JD Vance telling the Pope not to stick his nose in Theology, or Pierre Poilievre claiming that Mark Carney is bad at Economics, we are truly living through a Golden Age of self-entitled mediocrities whose only move is projecting their own inadequacy upon their critics and opponents.

Toller Cranston captured mid-air in a dramatic leap, wearing a bright red, form-fitting outfit with a yellow long-sleeve top underneath. His arms are extended gracefully above and behind him, and his legs are bent in a dynamic pose. He has curly hair and is looking toward the camera. Behind him is Toronto City Hall, with its two curved towers and central council chamber. A Canadian flag is visible to the left, and a group of people sit along the edge of the skating rink below, watching.

On this day in 1949, Toller Cranston was born in Hamilton.
A highly influential figure skater, he is credited with bringing a new level of artistry to men's figure skating. He won an Olympic bronze medal and won every Canadian championship from 1971 to 1976. He died in 2015.
