When Maja Terzic brought her sick cat to the vet, she agreed to a few hundred dollars in blood work to hopefully find out what was wrong with him. Guppy was then whisked away to a back room.
“I was just kind of in the dark, I didn’t know what was happening,” Terzic said.
An hour later, she was handed a $1,100 bill, full of tests and treatments she says she never agreed to.
It’s getting expensive to own a pet.
Meghan Markle is reportedly “in a bad place” following the release of a damning Vanity Fair exposé last week.
The scathing piece, published Jan. 17, delves into the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s struggling business ventures, painting a tragic picture of their attempts at maintaining relevance after quitting royal life in 2020.
Numerous former colleagues and associates spoke to the publication for the article, many of whom have slammed the “Suits” alum’s character.
At least 45 firearms have been stolen from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police since 2014, including 33 handguns, seven rifles, four shotguns and a grenade launcher.
The data, which was obtained through an access to information request, shows that nearly half of these firearms were reported stolen from the RCMP in 2016, when the grenade launcher plus 18 handguns, two shotguns and a rifle were taken. Four Mountie handguns were also reported stolen last year in 2024.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid and her Wednesday guest, National President of the American Federation of Government Employees Everett Kelley, think you are stupid. On The ReidOut, the duo reacted to President Donald Trump ordering the end of DEI offices across the federal government by claiming such moves represent an attack on “disabled veterans.”
“Continental energy security” was the watchword of both governments and industry for much of the past quarter century in North America: the idea that by linking the U.S. and Canada in a tight web of pipelines and refineries, both countries would protect themselves from threats and hostile trade actions that — it was assumed — would come from outside North America.
The website of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers is still littered with references to the now-obsolete notion that increasing interdependence with the U.S. would make Canada safer: “Over the past decade, Canada has strengthened its continental energy security by reducing reliance on overseas oil and increasing the share of imports from the United States.”
“Continental energy security” remains the right approach.
We’ve been giving regular updates on the progress of Trump’s deportation plan, and numbers are already promising. Hundreds of illegal immigrant criminals have been arrested, and the White House reports they are being flown out of the country.
Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault says he’s been “forced to recognize” the carbon tax has become “very unpopular.”
“Of course, I would like for the consumer component of pricing to continue moving forward, but the reality is that it’s not supported by the NDP. Even some environmental organizations are telling me, ‘listen minister, it’s too unpopular and we have other tools,‘” Guilbeault told Vassy Kapelos in an interview on CTV’s Power Play Wednesday.
When asked by Kapelos why he’s turning away from a policy he’s defended for years, Guilbeault added his government’s climate plan doesn’t rest on one single measure.
Dr. Anthony Fauci had his taxpayer-funded security detail pulled, President Trump confirmed during a press conference Friday.
“I think when you work for government, at some point your security detail comes off, and you know, you can’t have them forever,” Trump told a reporter at a hurricane response briefing in Asheville, NC

OTTAWA — Liberal leadership contenders have put down the first $50,000 of their entry fees, and continue lining up caucus endorsements and organizers as they push through a rushed timeline in their bids to become party leader.
Former finance minister Chrystia Freeland, former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney and former government House leader Karina Gould have all paid their $50,000 deposits, but the pressure to raise cash doesn’t stop there, with another $50,000 due Monday and the balance of their $350,000 entry fees due in a matter of weeks.
Within moments of returning to the Oval Office on Monday, President Donald Trump got to work signing a flurry of executive orders. One of them is focused on “protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and other national security and public safety threats.”

TORONTO — The weeks since Liam Mooney and Emma Cochrane dreamt up a viral hat meant to fend off any notion that Canada will be taken over by the U.S. has been more of a crash course in manufacturing than in politics.
The pair of Ottawa-based marketers behind the “Canada is not for sale” hats made famous by Ontario Premier Doug Ford last week say they’ve realized how difficult it is to produce a ball cap fully made in Canada.
“Imagine you’re a snake and you’re trying to consume a giant bowling ball. That’s what we’ve been experiencing here,” said Mooney, co-founder of business consultancy Jackpine Dynamic Branding.
The hit that Canada’s garment industry took was called “Free Trade”.
President Trump’s long-promised ICE raids continued on Thursday — as the total number of illegal migrants nabbed by federal authorities reached 538, including new arrests of pedophiles, gang members, and a suspected terrorist in New York.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are scouring cities and states, trying to round up illegal aliens who are either wanted for crimes in their home country or who have committed crimes during their time in the US.
A source told The Post that many of the migrants rounded up by agents were convicted in “some very heinous cases.”
She knew. Chrystia Freeland knew.
That’s what she told Canadians last year about increasing capital-gains taxes. It meant tax fairness for every generation, she said.
“And we know that right now, Canada needs to make investments,” Ms. Freeland, then the finance minister, told a CTV News interviewer in June.

As soldiers fighting for Ukraine try to hold onto the hundreds of square kilometres they seized in Russia’s Kursk region in August, some describe facing relentless waves of determined North Korean troops, Russian units with improved tactics, and Ukraine’s own struggles with exhaustion and sinking morale.
“I honestly don’t think we’re going to be able to hold it for much longer,” said Chapi, a foreign fighter who spoke to CBC in the Sumy region in northeastern Ukraine, about 15 km from the Russian border.
Odd coming from the CBC.
