We have opened our pages as well, to a pivotal time in Brazilian politics – the upcoming presidential elections. The pieces of this political game have been set on the chessboard, as the presidential candidates play strategically behind the scenes, while vying for the support of voters. We will have to wait until October, to find out who will claim checkmate at the ballot box.

We have opened our pages as well, to a key political moment in Brazil – the presidential elections. The pieces of this political game are on the table board, with ongoing strategic maneuvers, and are evolving behind the scenes. We will have to wait until October for this game of chess to end and find out who will claim checkmate at the ballot box.

And let us not forget our winning goal. Once again, Brazil has qualified for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. We may have another reason to follow this year’s matches, with Canada’s National Team poised to secure a berth, should they accrue two more points by winning their match in March. This would have Canada competing among the elite of international soccer after a 36-year absence. Let’s cheer them on together!

In addition, starting now, the journalistic content of DISCOVER Magazine, will be published entirely in Portuguese. Now as we watch our teams play and score goals, our cheers will not need a translation. We will celebrate together the Brazilian “gol” and the Canadian “goal”, while collectively kicking the ball showing that in our chests beats a heart inspired by courage and resilience.
