Kanye West was hanging out at Drake’s house, then delivered a dove emoji to signal peace orchestrated by a hip-hop mogul. J. Prince announced the pair will perform at a concert to free Larry Hoover from 48 years of imprisonment. Also at the mansion meetup was Dave Chappelle, who screened his documentary a night earlier in Toronto.

Edward Rogers got his way Tuesday night.

That’s how deep an observer had to dig into a sworn affidavit by Edward Rogers to find the presentation he delivered to the previous generation of the board at Rogers Communications Inc. as he attempted to orchestrate a change at the top of the company in September…

Joe Natale is gone from Rogers as Tony Staffieri steps in as interim president and CEO, fulfilling the ambitions of Edward Rogers that were interrupted by a butt-dial and subsequent boardroom drama. Martha Rogers responded by duly noting her brother promised to retain Natale two weeks ago.


Denise Batters has been kicked out of the Conservative caucus. The senator who launched a petition to oust Erin O’Toole as leader was shown who’s in charge of the party.

Thousands forced from their homes, farmers on sea-doos herding cows through floods, one person dead—mere months after B.C. grappled with a horrid heat wave and wildfire season. Try telling me climate change isn't real. Just try.

Canada’s biggest board game legacy has landed in the hands of LeVar Burton. Trivial Pursuit is in development as a TV show helmed by the most online-popular guest host Jeopardy passed on. Hasbro has owned the rights since 2008, when it paid $80 million for the brand, an invention whose journalist origins became the stuff of legend.


Finally, cinema gets a ghosting

Ghostbusters: Afterlife is scoring a 66% approval from critics, but the Globe and Mail declared it dead on arrival. Nonetheless, an opening delayed three times is about to happen—and Dan Aykroyd shouted out Kingston in the promotion process. The family behind the franchise also now boast a Lower Manhattan theatre to call their own:
