Priyanka Chopra says Born Hungry is about the human cause behind ambition

Global star Priyanka Chopra feels that stories like Born Hungry serve as a reminder that ambition and compassion don’t have to be at odds with each other in a world obsessed with speed and success.

It’s unacceptable B.C. has been cut out of pipeline talks, Premier Eby tells Mark Carney

For a project he says “doesn’t actually exist,” there was a lot British Columbia Premier David Eby had to say about a potential pipeline from Alberta to B.C.’s northern coast, in a phone call with Prime Minister Mark Carney on Monday. There should be a ban on public spending on the project, he said. Or a cap. Or, if it goes ahead with taxpayer money, then B.C. should also get a “$50-billion federally funded project.”Eby also said he told Carney “how unacceptable” it was for Alberta and Saskatchewan to talk with the federal government about the proposal without input from his province.“This is not something that would happen to Quebec,” Eby said Monday at an unrelated news conference in Victoria.“This is not something that would happen to other provinces in the federation. I don’t know why ...

Something strange is happening this week: The hottest trend among young people is acting mature. Maybe it's in response to our nation's financial and political leaders abdicating maturity, but Gen Z is adopting business casual attire as a cultural identifier and using a pick-up line in online dating that seems like something out of the 1950s. Even the brain-rot generation is considering moving away from meaninglessness and dropping six-seeeven in favor of memes people can understand. What is a “quarter zip” and what does it mean to wear one?A quarter zip is exactly what it sounds like: a pullover sweater with a zipper that goes a quarter way down the chest, and it's becoming the go-to look for young men, especially Black men.

U.S. senators say tariffs causing ‘cultural break’ in relations with Canada – National

The tariffs imposed on Canada by U.S. President Donald Trump have clearly caused economic pain for Canada, but a U.S. senator from Maine says he’s more worried about how Canadians are reacting on a personal level. “Like any neighbours, there’s always going to be issues back and forth, and we’ve been fighting about softwood lumber for as long as I could remember,” Angus King told an international security conference in Halifax on Saturday.“But the deeper problem is the cultural break; the idea that Canadians don’t think of Americans as their friends and neighbours, but as adversaries.” 1:43 U.S. Ambassador to Canada Hoekstra says a free trade deal was supposed to be announced this week ...
