Rogers Media outlets were marshalled to cover the controversy around the family of the company chair after Suzanne Rogers posted a statement about her shared photo with Donald Trump.

Terry DiMonte is signing off from CHOM-FM. The morning radio host in his native Montreal since 1984 announced May 28 will be his exit date. DiMonte took a detour to Calgary for a few years amidst ownership changes at CHOM. He explained that hopes of staying until this end of this year were scuttled by recent cutbacks at Bell Media.


Finally, daddy’s daycare dunk

Adonis Graham continues to be an Instagram asset for parents whose initial secrecy about his birth fuelled a major rap feud. Concurrent with his mother, Sophie Brussaux, having Adonis endorse her artwork, Drake has been showing their three-year-old son on the home basketball court, even if it’s possible the child is bored:
