The Interest in 1990s Nostalgia Should Shock Not Delight
When did you realise it was all over? For me, it was a couple of days ago when my son found me sobbing on the kitchen table. I had in my hands HMRC’s letter ordering me to buy some software and do my tax return five times a year. He (17) was insouciant: “What’s the problem, it’s just another laptop thing, why are you so het up about it?”
I replied with gut wrenching sadness that the world I grew up in is over. He and his brothers will never know it. It’s gone. And he can’t even appreciate what he is missing.
WTF?

Toronto mans: The strange, multicultural slang of Toronto’s teenagers
“That’s my crodie,” the teenage girl squawks loudly, slapping her male friend on the chest as she lets the final word of her sentence roll on: “-deeeeeeeeeeeee”. Passers-by in Jane Finch, a shopping centre in a downtrodden Toronto suburb, do not recoil at this strange pronunciation. They push past the pair into McDonald’s, where, slumped across seats, schoolchildren roll large spliffs. Their sentences are similarly strange, flecked with terms like “gerbert” and “two-twos”. Asked about Shoreham, a nearby estate, an aggrieved teenager exclaims “oppblock”.

Regulating the Sex Robot Revolution
In February 2024, a 14-year-old boy in Florida named Sewell Setzer shot himself after months of deepening emotional entanglement with a chatbot on Character.AI. He had named the bot after Daenerys Targaryen, a Game of Thrones character, and the conversations had turned romantic, then sexual, then dark. In his final exchange, Setzer told the chatbot he wanted to die. It told him to “come home” to it. A year later, a second teenager’s parents sued OpenAI after their 16-year-old son used ChatGPT as what they called his “suicide coach,” confiding suicidal plans that the bot never flagged and his parents never saw. A third suit followed: it involved a 13-year-old honor roll student, an artist who once rescued a friend from bullies but was found dead after months of confiding in a Character.AI bot named Hero.
Maine’s Neighbor To The North Has A Sticky Food Scandal Pancaking Across Its Country
A Canadian radio reporter thought the “pure maple syrup” he’d just bought tasted weird so he followed his hunch.
He took it for testing to a food lab, which determined the syrup was half cane sugar.
The maple farmer who distributed the doctored syrup is now a potential target of a class-action lawsuit from consumers across Canada.
"Food fraud is a $50 billion problem in North America. We’ve all been victims at least once—through fraud, counterfeiting, mislabeling, adulteration, you name it. And without the media, we wouldn’t know about the maple syrup scandal unfolding right now."

Child Protection on Trial: The Maria Shahbaz Judgment
The recent judgment of Pakistan’s Federal Constitutional Court in the case of 12-year-old Christian girl Maria Shahbaz has triggered protests, concern, and deep unease — not only within Pakistan but across the international human rights community. For many, this is not simply a controversial ruling; it is a test of whether the law can truly protect the most vulnerable, or whether it can be manipulated to legitimise their exploitation.
Canada’s first fully Indigenous-owned department store closes amid funding challenges
Two years after it launched, Canada’s first fully Indigenous-owned department store has closed its doors, leaving the owner $800,000 in debt, thanks in part to the denial of a City of Toronto grant.
The problem began when Chelsee-Marie Pettit, the founder of Aaniin, applied for a city grant to showcase the work of Indigenous artists at her Eaton Centre pop-up.
Pettit says she thought the city initially approved her application, prompting her to extend the lease on her store. But then an anonymous Indigenous jury, which has the final say in the grant’s approval, denied her funding, creating an added layer of financial burdens.
A murky story.
Kimmel Wonders How Iran Will Negotiate With ‘Religious Fanatics’
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel’s jokes are so unfunny, even his liberal audience has trouble laughing at them on occasion. One such example occurred on Wednesday when Kimmel tried to employ the famous comedic reversal technique when he wondered how Iran will negotiate with a bunch of “religious fanatics” who “terrorize their own citizens.” Elsewhere, Kimmel congratulated Trump “for chickening out” on his threats ahead of Tuesday’s ceasefire announcement.

When Attention Is All You Have Left: Hunter Biden’s Desperate Grab for Relevance
Stop me if you’ve heard this joke before: Hunter Biden challenged Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump to a cage match.
JAY GOLDBERG: Canada should be listening to United States trade grievances
Prime Minister Mark Carney has consistently argued that Canada currently has the best trade deal with the United States, with roughly 90% of Canada-U.S. trade shielded from President Donald Trump’s tariffs thanks to the Canada-United-States-Mexico Free Trade Agreement (CUSMA).
He’s not wrong that the CUSMA has shielded Canada from the brunt of Trump’s tariffs. In fact, Canada would be in a deep recession today if such a large portion of cross-border trade weren’t protected by the CUSMA.
‘Fed Up‘: UK‘s Starmer Equates Trump and Putin in National Security Rant
The United Kingdom has surrendered its ability to ensure its own security, leaving it at the mercy of global events beyond its control, and the nation’s Prime Minister impotently raging against U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin — who he equates — in a rant about energy security.
Deportation hearing for Indian extortion suspect halted when officials can’t find him
The deportation of a Bishnoi extortion gang member was put off on Thursday after federal officials could not find the suspect.
Just minutes into Abjeet Kingra’s deportation hearing, the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) said it had lost track of the Indian citizen.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), which is attempting to deport Kingra, also said it no longer knew his whereabouts.
