Back in the ‘80s, before I became an entertainment journalist, I worked my way through university at a video distributor, that is, a company that sold movies, mostly on VHS tapes, to video stores around the province.

Inspired by a La Presse experiment, I learned the cost of convenience. It's not just the expected fees that add to the hefty totals for groceries ordered via food delivery apps, though. Overall, ordering from Sobeys’ Uber Eats storefront was 45 per cent more expensive than shopping IRL.

For a guy who likened the 2003 invasion of Iraq to “throwing a big fat brick into a hornet’s nest,” U.S. President Donald Trump was surprisingly quick to bomb Iran, targeting the country’s nuclear weapons program for destruction. Then again, he’s just the latest in a long line of presidents who criticize the bellicosity of predecessors before embracing it themselves — usually without seeking congressional permission. It’s too early to know whether the atomic dreams of Iran’s leaders have been laid to rest, but the tentative ceasefire between Iran and Israel, and Trump’s positive reception at the NATO summit, suggest he pulled off a win — for now — and polished his international image.

Two years ago, Canada lost one of the best minds on its top court. Russell Brown, Supreme Court justice of eight years, resigned in 2023 after becoming the living embodiment of “the punishment is the procedure.” Subjected to a frivolous conduct complaint, then a frivolous possibly-forced leave of absence and frivolous investigation by the Canadian Judicial Council, he took matters into his own hands and retired from the bench — to the grief of the profession.
