The Sum 41 ride comes to an end this week. They will be missed – National

It’s a Sunday morning and Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley is sitting on the couch in my Las Vegas Airbnb. As usual, he’s dressed in his punk/metal gear: leather jacket, band shirt, spikey hair and a chain or two hanging from his jeans. He’d driven over from his new place a few minutes away. “I had to get out of L.A.,” he said. “It’s just gotten too crazy. You’d be surprised at how many people — including musicians — have moved to Vegas to get away from what L.A. has become.”Whibley isn’t a big guy, standing about five feet six inches tall and in situations like this, soft-spoken. But as Sum 41 fans know, give him a guitar and put him onstage and he’s a different beast entirely.But that onstage beast is on notice. On this day in early 2023, the conversation turns to how he’s ready to wind things do...

U.S. trade deal possible but ‘tariffs are real’ before then: Ontario envoy

Ontario’s representative to the U.S. is confident there’s a deal to be made on growing the Canada-U.S. economic relationship in a way that resolves U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade concerns, but says Canada will feel “a lot of pain” before that is achieved. David Paterson says he’s had positive conversations with Republican lawmakers in Washington who understand America’s dependance on Canadian goods, particularly critical minerals like nickel from Ontario, and the need for a North American alliance against China and Russia.He says underscoring those needs and finding ways to strengthen and expand them has been a key focus as Trump’s threatened tariffs on Canadian goods inches closer.“You just can’t unscramble the eggs,” he told Mercedes Stephenson in an interview that aired Sunday on T...

Canada must take ‘responsibility’ for its sovereignty, defence chief says – National

Canada’s chief of the defence staff says the next prime minister needs to “pay attention to our defence” and take responsibility for Canada’s territorial integrity, pointing to other countries whose “sovereignties have been breached these past few years.” U.S. President Donald Trump’s complaints about Canada’s military spending and capabilities have underscored the need for Ottawa to prioritize defence, though Gen. Jennie Carignan says work was already underway to speed up investments and procurement before Trump took office last week.As the Liberal Party chooses a new leader to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — and with a general election widely expected this spring — Carignan says whoever leads the country next needs to ensure that work continues.“I think we need to pay attention t...

The Torridon review: the chic Highlands hotel where you can live out your The Traitors fantasy

While little ones are welcomed with toy Highland cows, shortbread and kids menus in the Torridon’s on-site pub, this is a grown-up hotel of civilised, carpeted breakfast rooms, antiques and tasting menus rounded off with rare whiskies. That being said, the hotel rolled out the red carpet for our brood: chocolates, cots, speedy bedtime milk deliveries and assisting the Highland Cows with lunchtime. Though I didn’t sense it was a muscle they flexed regularly. The dizzying culinary standards, romantic setting and genteel, traditional rooms are geared towards couples, older families, outdoorsy types, Caledonian-inclined Americans and whisky-pilgrims. Those after a kid’s club or an extensive programme of sprog activities should consider Gleneagles or the Fife Arms. Source link
