Obama’s ‘aliens’ comment went viral when he said “they’re real, but I haven’t seen them” on a podcast rapid fire round. You saw the clip. Everyone did. And it looked like disclosure, like a former president finally confirming what conspiracy theorists have been saying for decades. Except there are always two questions about aliens: do…
Shopping your mortgage at renewal could be the most valuable hour you spend this year. Your bank sends a number, and it looks reasonable. But the broker you call has access to lenders and specials that never show up at the branch, and half the people renewing this year intend to shop around. The question…
Smart glasses privacy isn’t a future concern. Someone wearing Oakley Metas across from you at a coffee shop could already be running facial recognition on your face, pulling your name, your employer, your new city, and your recent posts, and walking over to greet you like an old friend. You posted all of it. The…
Good News Tuesday lands differently when the headliner is a famous Italian love arch collapsing on Valentine’s Day. You’re tuning in for the bright stuff and instead you get canned chili, an Olympic condom shortage, and a natural rock formation that chose the most romantic night of the year to become rubble.

Canadian military spending is finally moving, and defense analyst Matt Gurney has been waiting 20 years for this moment. You’d think that would feel like a win.

Second passport options for Canadians start at 250,000 euros in Portugal, which is roughly what you’d put down on a Toronto house. You’re sitting on home equity that could buy your kids access to 27 European Union countries for education, work, and healthcare, but you’re treating it like it only unlocks Canadian real estate. The…
Running away from corporate life and moving towards a chateau lifestyle look identical from the outside. You’re leaving Canada either way. You’re selling your house either way. The difference is invisible until something goes wrong, and then it determines whether you survive the bureaucracy, the visa delays, and the moment when you’ve sold everything but…
Digital sovereignty in Canada isn’t a policy debate happening somewhere above you. You opened Gmail this morning, took a Zoom call after that, and wrote everything up in Microsoft Office, and every bit of it is sitting on an American server right now. The Department of Homeland Security is already using administrative subpoenas to pull…
Curling controversy just turned a gentleman’s sport into something else entirely. You’re watching players touch stones after releasing them, caught on video by fans in the stands, and officials are issuing statements instead of penalties.
