Marika Sila’s family originally thought she would be a professional skier. The Inuk TikTok star, who grew up in Canmore, Alberta and still resides there today, had the skills and guts to make it happen, but during those pivotal teenage years, her true passion bubbled to the surface. When Sila was 17, she traded in her […]
The city of Toronto is facing criticism for what many are calling an excessive use of police force at the clearing of a homeless encampment in a public park on Tuesday. Police barricades and bulldozers were in full effect at a city-enforced eviction of one of Toronto’s larger tent encampments in Trinity Bellwoods Park. While […]
Other fighters merely adopt taekwondo; Skylar Park was born in it, moulded by it. And that’s not even hyperbole. “From the very beginning, I was crawling on the mats… I first put on pads and stepped into the ring for competition at two years old,” the 22-year-old tells Complex. The Winnipeg native was born into […]

The late night comedian hilariously attempted to roast the iconic Canadian grocery chain on The Tonight Show, and No Frills has responded in the best way possible: a diss track calling Fallon out. No Frills generated some online buzz by releasing an album titled Haulin’ State of Mind back in […]
It’s a full-force bright-skies Saturday when I sit to chat with Curtis Waters about his latest project, Plastic World. He is our generation’s answer to the one effortlessly cool scene kid of the early aughts: the self-effacing wuderkind has a penchant for a very self-aware brand of irony, and grew up in Nepalese culture, which […]
Indigenous leaders in Saskatchewan are asking Catholics to stand in solidarity with residential school survivors by skipping Sunday mass. The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations held a press conference Friday morning saying Pope Francis needs to apologize for the church’s role in residential schools. They asked Catholic congregants to help push for an apology by not […]
“I’m a completely different person than I was 3 years ago,” KILLY recently tweeted. Which is fair. A few years ago, Khalil Tatem was a 19-year-old kid from Scarborough who, thanks to the freak overnight success of his entrancing first single, “Killamonjaro,” found himself swept into the trap star-industrial complex. Dude uploaded a track on […]
Justin Bieber opened the 2021 Juno Awards tonight with an energetic performance of his track “Somebody.” The Canadian pop star took to a virtual stage backed by a full band and sporting freshly shorn head.
