Newly elected Kevin Vuong plans to do the job that a downtown Toronto riding voted him in to do, despite the prior Spadina–Fort York MP Adam Vaughan trying to coax a resignation. The denouncement only came after Vuong won despite being dumped by the Liberals, following the revelation of a sexual assault charge that was dropped.

Hudson’s Bay got its best press in a while for putting Zellers signs around some low-end merchandise. The future of the department store may be unclear, but HBC reviving the discount brand for a “pop-up” in Burlington, Ontario, sparked much online nostalgia. But the experience of visiting micro-Zellers didn’t match expectations.


Finally, five long years of JBP

Jordan Peterson is scheduled to visit the University of Cambridge, the British school that rescinded his fellowship in March 2019. This week also marks a full half-decade since JBP became a celebrity via “Professor Against Political Correctness,” a YouTube video now gone from his account. But there’s much evidence of what happened next:
