Canadian Olympic funding is short and the solution being floated is hosting the most expensive sporting event on earth. The Canadian Olympic Committee made the ask public after Milan Cortina. The answer they proposed is a bid, which is either nation-building or the most expensive way to avoid the actual problem, depending on who you…
Mexico travel safety questions are flooding your feed and half of what you’re seeing isn’t real. You saw the neighborhood burning, maybe shared it, and then watched the same account post a correction minutes later: that’s AI, the church is fine, I just saw it. You had no way of knowing. The problem isn’t just…
DIY appliance repair works until the part you bought online doesn’t. You searched, you found the price you wanted, and you ordered it. No rules, no warranty, no customer service. For tool batteries especially, the knockoff market for brands like DeWalt and Milwaukee is deep enough that buying the wrong thing is easy to do…
Mexico cartel violence is flooding your phone right now, and you can’t tell what’s real. The videos of burning neighborhoods, the armed convoys through Puerto Vallarta. Some of it is AI-generated, designed for clicks. Some of it isn’t. Figuring out which is which matters more than your travel insurance will. El Mencho built his criminal…
Reliable information during a crisis doesn’t live where you think it does. Your instinct sends you to Instagram first, but what’s there are burning church photos that may be fake, poolside videos of military operations, and comment sections that say “wow, that’s crazy” before moving to the next thing. That’s not help. That’s a highlight…
Pay-to-play hockey doesn’t look like inequality until you run the numbers. Your kid gets cut from a rep team and drops a tier. The team above plays 54 games this season. Your kid plays 14. That’s not bad luck. That’s the system doing exactly what it was built to do. Lesley sits on her local…
TFSA RRSP investing strategy isn’t a single answer. It’s a different answer depending on when you’re asking it. You’ve got accounts from old jobs you haven’t looked at in years. A TFSA you opened because someone told you to. Maybe an RESP. You’ve been meaning to figure it all out and you haven’t, and that’s…
Attending the Olympics has been on your list for years and you keep talking yourself out of it. Too far, too expensive, too hard to build a trip around real life. You don’t need two weeks or a perfectly mapped itinerary. You need one focused week and a clear idea of what you actually want…
Team Canada Winter Olympics coverage just reframed what gold actually means. You watched the women’s hockey team lose the gold medal game and felt something unexpected: genuine pride in a silver. That hasn’t been the Canadian reaction before, not in hockey, not at the big events. Something shifted this week. Canada was projected to win…
William Shatner heavy metal is a real thing happening right now, and at 94 he described a collaboration with a former Megadeth guitarist as “a doorway.” Not a novelty project. A doorway. He’s covering Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden, and said it made him want to go all in and find the best…
