Chris Saccoccia’s arrest at Moncton Airport, days after he was charged with breaking quarantine rules in Toronto, meant he couldn’t bring his anti-masker message to a protest rally within the Atlantic bubble.


Hudson’s Bay has fallen behind on the rent. The department store was technically evicted from three Quebec malls, while also facing lawsuits over arrears elsewhere.

Adonis Graham started life as Drake’s secret son, yet photos from his third birthday shows two parents enthusiastic to have him grow up in public. While recent Instagram posts left it unclear if mom Sophie Brussaux was bringing him to school in Toronto, that’s where the party seemed to be, as the exes revelled in their biological collaboration:
