Google Just Launched an AI-Powered Duolingo Alternative

Thanks to some smart (and aggressive) marketing, Duolingo has cemented itself as one of the most popular language learning apps in the world. That said, it isn't without competition: There are plenty of alternatives to consider, and if you're peeved about Duolingo's plans to phase out its contract workers in favor of using AI, you might be looking into them. There's now a new competitor for Duo's crown, but it certainly isn't a replacement for the AI-averse. It's also far from an underdog, considering the service comes from none other than Google. Yesterday, the company announced a new AI-powered language learning experience it calls Little Language Lessons. It isn't an app, rather an experiment in Google Labs that offers small doses of lessons and immersion for a handful of different lang...

Diana Fox Carney: Hockey player, economist — and the prime minister’s wife – National

With Mark Carney fresh off an election win that keeps him in the Prime Minister’s Office, there’s a woman Canadians will likely come to recognize at his side: Diana Fox Carney, an economist, environmental advocate and hockey player. The 37-day federal election campaign saw Carney travelling across Canada with Fox Carney by his side — a presence that continued on election night when she not only stood beside him during his victory speech, but also introduced him to the crowd.“He has a great mind for trivia, a wicked sense of humour and a wonderful smile. He’s been that way since our very first date when we were young grad students,” she said during the speech.“As his partner, I could not be more proud of him. And as a Canadian, I’m so thankful that the man I met more than 30 years ago has h...

Green Party co-leader Jonathan Pedneault resigns after Canada election loss – National

Jonathan Pedneault has resigned as co-leader of the Green Party after acknowledging the “disappointing” outcome for the party in Monday’s election. In a statement posted online Wednesday morning, Pedneault wrote that while he was proud of the party’s platform and the values it brought to the campaign, he took responsibility for the result — which saw him finish fifth in his own riding as the party lost incumbent MP Mike Morrice and decreased its share of the popular vote.“Twice now, I have failed to convince my fellow citizens to send me to Ottawa,” Pedneault posted to X.“I failed to secure the re-election of my colleague Mike Morrice, along with many other competent and good-hearted individuals who placed their trust in us.” ...

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he believes a “great relationship” with Canada will be possible under Prime Minister Mark Carney, who is now tasked with seeking a new economic and security agreement with the United States.

Poilievre’s Conservatives must do ‘soul-searching’ after election loss: N.S. premier

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston says the Conservative Party of Canada should do some “soul-searching” just days after Pierre Poilievre’s defeat at the polls. In contrast, Houston told reporters Wednesday that he’s “optimistic about what’s possible” and looks forward to working with the newly elected Liberal government led by Prime Minister Mark Carney.The words highlight tensions between the premier and Poilievre, who lost his own riding of Carleton after facing stiff competition for a seat he had held for 20 years.“Look, I think there are many shades of blue, and it can be a big tent and it can be an effective big tent,” said Houston, leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia.“I think that after four consecutive losses to the Liberal party, I think it’s time for them to ...
