- The cost of drag is, well, a drag. Elaborate looks, tariffs and fewer tips are making it harder to pull off being a queen. Social media and shows such as RuPaul’s Drag Race have raised the bar for what audiences expect, forcing many queens to spend even more to keep up. Sheldon McIntosh, better known as Toronto drag star Tynomi Banks, breaks down the cost of the towering wigs, glittering heels and custom-made outfits.

- Canada has become a big player in the illegal wildlife trade. The trade is funding organized crime here and beyond our borders, an investigation by The Globe and the Pulitzer Center has found. But the issue is flying under the radar – propped up by vast wilderness, patrol blind spots and penalties so weak that for some traffickers, breaking the law is cheaper than compliance.

- The British Columbia government has hired lawyers in both B.C. and California to pursue legal action against OpenAI.
It wants to hold the company accountable for the role it played in the shooting that left eight victims dead in the northern community of Tumbler Ridge in February.
Attorney General Niki Sharma said Tuesday that no company or corporate leader should escape accountability when public safety is at stake.
An 18-year-old shooter killed her mother and brother in their family home, then moved on to the local secondary school and killed five students and an educational assistant before turning the weapon on herself.
The teen’s use of ChatGPT before the murders is now the subject of multiple lawsuits filed by families of the victims and community members against the chatbot’s creator, OpenAI, and company founder Sam Altman.

- “AI for All.” That’s what Canada’s federal government is calling its national AI strategy. It makes the case for building AI with confidence: a homegrown supercomputer by 2031, 60 per cent adoption by 2034. But the new strategy offers little about how it will govern the technology.
Ottawa attempted to answer those concerns with two landmark bills: the Safe Social Media Act, which regulates social media platforms and AI chatbots, and the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act, which brings Canada’s privacy laws into the AI era. Together, these bills give the country something it’s never had: a single digital regulator with power to hold companies responsible.
It’s the most ambitious tech policy move this country has seen. And it’s drawing fire from every direction. Critics say a superregulator gives too much power to the government, that privacy and data should be treated separately, and that this is part of a wider government effort to cont...

Prime Minister Mark Carney has launched a competition to pick a Canadian company to renovate the prime minister’s official residence.
It’s been closed since 2015 because of its poor state.
The winning company will handle the design of the renovation and the execution. Carney declined to get into specifics about the budget, saying the cost will hinge on the ideas brought forward.
Carney said Friday that it’s time to act to save the residence. He said it was left to languish, allowing damage to spread and repair costs to increase.
First built in 1868, the 35-room residence became the home for prime ministers in 1951 and served in that role through to 2015.

But for as long as we’ve been playing games of chance, we’ve worried about what they might be doing to us. For thousands of years, everyone from Aristotle to George Washington condemned gambling, an ancient anxiety that ran so deep it became something like a moral consensus.
And then that consensus evaporated. In the span of a decade, both Canada and the US legalized sports betting. Now anyone with a smartphone and a credit card can wager on basketball, hockey, or American cornhole.
But it turned out that was just the beginning. A few years later came “prediction markets” like Kalshi and Polymarket that let you bet on, well, just about anything: whether the US will invade Cuba, the odds of James Comey being sent to prison, and whether Jesus Christ will return before 2027.

The company says the restaurant owners are responsible for their business struggles and, in one case, for spending “lavishly” on investment properties and helicopters rather than investing in the operations.
The Quebec franchisees first filed their lawsuit against Tim Hortons in 2024.
They argued that their costs for supplies had risen, while the hikes to menu prices had not sufficiently offset those costs – squeezing their profit margins, eroding their restaurants’ value and harming them financially since 2019.
Some plaintiffs have been added to the lawsuit since then, and it now represents 15 franchisees operating 41 restaurants in the province.
But Tim Hortons rejects the assertion that menu prices were not raised enough to offset some of these rising costs.
