The Strait of Hormuz is thirty kilometres wide and it has held the world hostage before. Not since 1979. Since 1901, when a foreign company was handed three quarters of Iran’s land and told to take whatever oil it could…
Wrongful conviction in Canada is still new information to most people who hear it, even after documentaries, headlines, and high-profile cases. Kelly Lauzon has been teaching it for over a decade and says it never stops being the first time…
Public displays of affection have an unspoken line that nobody can define until someone crosses it in front of them. Handholding is fine. One good airport kiss is fine. What happened at the Montreal airport was apparently not fine and…
A Canadian majority government was already taking shape before anyone voted tonight. John Moore from Newstalk 1010 is one of the people who has been watching it happen in real time and he is not surprised by any of it.…
Spring home maintenance has a way of starting small and getting expensive fast. Handy Andy Baryer went up to clean his parents’ gutters and came back down with news nobody wanted: the roof is soft, a roofer is coming, and…

A Liberal majority government is arriving tonight and the question nobody is answering clearly is what it actually believes. Jimmy Zoubris is in Montreal. Lesley Kelly is in Saskatchewan. They are watching the same result from completely different distances and…
