Some people learned to bake sourdough; Alessia Cara wrote and recorded a new album. Not everyone fared well during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially those initial months of uncertainty—the isolation, the rolling lockdowns, the hoarding of toilet paper. The Grammy-winning Cara wasn’t spared from feeling those dark days either, and as COVID pressed on and forced […]
Here’s something bound to fix students’ attention spans: Drake and The Weeknd will be the subjects of their very own media couse at X University (a.k.a. the soon-to-be-rebranded Ryerson).

Two of Toronto’s fastest-rising artists, Road Runner and anders, have joined forces for a weighty new track, “Made It Happen.” Over a contemplative, gently simmering beat, they both share stories of the paranoia and losses that have accompanied their respective come-ups. “How does it feel when nobody around you just feels how you wanna make them feel?/I lost my […]
Justin Trudeau is going viral again this week for the way he answered a question asked by a representative of Canadian right-wing website Rebel News. The prime minister essentially called out the organization—which recently won a federal court case granting them access to the leaders’ debates—for spreading misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines and other issues.

The next Denis Villeneuve could be among this year’s class of emerging Canadian filmmakers. Any good festival thrives on the thrill of discovery, and while Dune might offer […]
Drake’s long-awaited sixth studio album, Certified Lover Boy, is finally here. And given that The Boy is as patriotic as they come, showing love to his homebase every chance he gets (see: the “What’s Next” music video, the Views album cover, and his role as the Raptors’ unofficial coach), it’s only natural that his new LP is rife […]
