It can be stressful hiring new workers, especially for a big company. But you’d expect that Disney, a family friendly company, would dig a little deeper when making new hires! It turns out, they accidentally hired somebody from a profession that definitely isn't for all ages. https://nationalpost.com/entertainment/movies/disney-accidentally-hired-adult-film-star-in-the-little-mermaid-Logan Schwartz

There, Vivek Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur and investor who is also seeking the Republican presidential nomination, challenged his fellow candidates to commit to pardoning Donald Trump of the federal charges if they win the election. Ramaswamy wore a white hat bearing the word “Truth,” perhaps nodding to the hard reality that Trump’s legal misery is dominating the public conversation and winning him lots of sympathy among Republican voters. And the only way for the other Republican contenders to get attention is by positioning themselves in the shadow of an alleged criminal. And by the time he was arraigned in Miami, Trump’s lead had risen to nearly 54 per cent compared to less than 22 per cent for DeSantis. “What is being done to President Trump should terrify all citizens of this country.

Sea ice can be a draw for tourists, but it's keeping away cruise ships headed for Corner BrookCruise ships haven't been able to make it to Corner Brook this year due to sea ice, which has led to four cancelled trips early in the tourism season. Essentially, it means there's too much sea ice around the island for cruise ships to safely travel. Jennifer Hartley, business development manager for the Port of Corner Brook, says the amount of ice is causing trouble for arriving ships. She sells Indigenous crafts and clothing pieces on the Corner Brook dock when cruise ships arrive. The Navigator is still booked to make its first — and final — entry into the Port of Corner Brook on June 30.

OTTAWA—Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are pulling further ahead of the governing Liberal party in national voting intentions amid a widespread desire for change across the country, a new poll suggests. The online survey from Abacus Data found the federal Conservatives have climbed to a seven-percentage-point lead over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, up from three points one month ago. The NDP had 21 per cent in the latest Abacus poll, up three percentage points, while the far-right People’s Party and Greens each had four per cent. What’s more, barely 20 per cent of survey respondents said Trudeau and the Liberals “deserve to be re-elected,” while more than 80 per cent said it is “time for a change in government.”How do Canadians feel about Poilievre? But Coletto also noted that 31 per cent of respondents said they don’t see a good option for the change in government they want.

What will it take for conservative politicians and big oil bosses to actually acknowledge that the wildfires ravaging our forests are fanned by the carbon emissions that have torqued up the world’s climate? In his deeply researched and compelling book, “Fire Weather: The Making of a Beast,” Vancouver-based journalist and author, John Vaillant, makes it clear that these are no ordinary forest fires. Kenney didn’t mention global warming that day either. And yet, the Conservative party has yet to tell us how it would slow the carbon emissions that cause global warming. But for these politicians and captains of the oil industry even the word “transition” has become toxic, never mind actually planning for it.

Faced with rising costs and falling income, Canadian news media are restructuring and experimenting with new content and business models. Podcast initiatives were developed and promoted through media partnerships, such as a true crime series by Postmedia with Antica Productions; a Toronto Star entrepreneurship podcast made available on Air Canada flights; and podcasts jointly commissioned by the BBC and CBC/Radio-Canada. Hebdos Québec, a group of 75 independent publications, acquired Réseau Sélect, an advertising network serving French-language weeklies. It says it will stop making news content available on any of its platforms in Canada if the act passes in its current form. The future of public broadcaster CBC/Radio-Canada became more polarised following the election of a new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, Pierre Poilievre.

Facility still missing some equipment, like lack of bar to hold onto in showersOver two years after the facility had its official opening, residents of Fort Good Hope, N.W.T. But after a series of delays lasting 28 months, the seniors only began moving in last week. Grandjambe, herself from Fort Good Hope, said the necessary additions to the showers are something that Sahtú MLA Paulie Chinna is aware of. Angela Grandjambe, manager of the Rádeyı̨lı̨kóé Housing Association responsible for coordinating the tenants, said she’s heard the seniors are so far enjoying their new home. That’s because the association is working with the seniors to complete paperwork on checking out of their current residence, starting a new lease and transferring power to the new unit.
