Hotpot chain compensates diners after teenagers urinate in soup

China’s biggest hotpot chain Haidilao has offered to compensate more than 4,000 diners who visited one of its Shanghai branches, where two teens urinated into their hotpot broth.

A video of the boys peeing into their broth pot while dining in a private room was widely shared online last month. It is not clear who might have filmed the incident.

Police said the 17-year-olds, who were drunk at the time, were detained soon after the incident.

There’s too much vibrant diversity in food services to warrant the risk in the GTA.

The ability of the US to flip a switch that would render them inoperable has long been the subject of speculation, but until now, it has not been proven.

Sarah Wynn-Williams – a former global public policy director – says in return for gaining access to the Chinese market of hundreds of millions of users, Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, considered agreeing to hiding posts that were going viral, until they could be checked by the Chinese authorities.

Ontario suspending U.S. electricity charge, Ford says while securing Lutnick meeting

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his government is suspending its 25 per cent surcharge on electricity exports to three U.S. states after securing a meeting in Washington with the commerce secretary.

In a day filled with escalation between Ford and U.S. President Donald Trump, the premier announced the meeting with Howard Lutnick in the afternoon — hours after Trump said he would impose a 50 per cent tariff on Canadian aluminum and steel imports.
