Even though Halloween is still basically three months away, there’s already some scary news out there—and not the fun, spooky kind. Hershey’s CEO has announced that they’re bracing for a candy shortage! With a number of ingredients getting more expensive, we could see this issue spreading to other candy companies as well. There have been […]

While I’ve never lived the most exciting or crazy lifestyle, it sure could have gone better yesterday. I had to wait for a prescription at the pharmacy, and let me tell you, there may not be a more boring place to kill 15 minutes. There’s just nothing to see or do, and you can only […]

The world of science is back with a groundbreaking revelation this week as scientists at Purdue University have developed the whitest paint ever. Exciting stuff, I know. But this paint isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s supposed to help keep homes cooler by reflecting the sun’s rays. But how white could something possibly be, you ask? […]

While Canadians are heavily stereotyped as being very polite people, there’s at least one area where that might not be true… According to a new survey, nearly 80% of Canadians say they’ve witnessed road rage in the last year. Meanwhile, only 51% admit to doing it themselves. Apparently, there’s an issue with lying in this […]

Just like when you’re a kid, I’ve been re-learning that life lessons suck and are usually boring. Lately, I’ve gotten really into a new hobby: making my house a little nicer by investing in my lawn. Not sure why, but now my day-to-day happiness doesn’t rely on what I’m doing after work, who I’m hanging […]

With all the buzz about Amazon Prime Days this week, I tried to support local businesses at least once yesterday. Specifically, I planned to stop by a lemonade stand near my house. It was another scorcher of a day, and I had a loonie in my wallet, so why not, right? The harm was that […]

Remember when every iPhone update was eagerly awaited because it meant new emojis? Ah, those were the days! We’d all gather around and marvel at the latest additions, wondering how we survived so long without a hockey stick, a dinosaur, or the ever-essential middle finger emoji. Fast forward to now, and it seems like Apple […]

You know what’s great about the sweltering heat? The kind that makes it impossible to sleep, leaves you with no energy, and forces you to sit in front of a fan all day? I don’t actually know, I was hoping someone could tell me. For the next week, we’re only expected to see daytime highs […]

We’ve always known it, but a little extra vindication never hurts—Canadians are generous, possibly to a fault. We’re tied for first in the world when it comes to tipping. On average, we tip anywhere from 15-20% on anything from food to haircuts and even oil changes! No wonder so many of us are trying to […]

Wouldn’t you know, the sun still came out today… well, mostly. It was a bit cloudy earlier. The point is, despite the Edmonton Oilers losing the Stanley Cup last night, the world didn’t end—though some fans felt like it might as well have. I get it. It’s tough spending over two months on an emotional […]
