Petro Canada in Sault Ste Marie raises its price per litre by $0.25 this morning. That’s how fast these companies pass increases in the price of oil through.

I listen to radio mostly while driving my car. I hate commercials that use horn or siren sounds. I often can't differentiate them from real emergency vehicles.

Excerpt from the New York Times article reads: "Analysts also cite recent economic challenges related to President Trump’s tariffs. A backlash from Canadian consumers and provinces, which control alcohol sales, has virtually stopped the sale of American whiskey in what was once among the industry’s biggest export markets."

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in
Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

Ken Dryden was the antithesis of everything Don Cherry stood for. And unlike Cherry, he actually won at the highest levels. He was an intellectual, an author, a politician. I was lucky enough to meet him in 2006. Unlike Gretzky, he never sold his country out. RIP. A true icon who was one of a kind.

I mentioned to a couple of people that I had a surprise waiting to be shared when Moderna got approval for its updated COVID-19 vaccine. It’s approved, and the big news??? Completely produced domestically!!!!! 🥳🤩 Approved as usual for all aged 6mo+!
Moderna just received Health Canada authorization for its updated LP.8.1 variant COVID-19 vaccine.

The exciting part? It will be manufactured domestically!
Their authorization allows parts of the vaccine to be produced at Moderna’s new facility in Quebec, while the fill-finish will be handled by Novocol Pharma in Ontario. The domestically produced vaccine will be ready for this year’s fall vaccination campaign.
