Columbia House, the legendary record club that sent you stacks of albums for a penny, is shutting down forever on September 15th after 71 years — from its 1955 launch to its final days as digital streaming erased its business model. At its peak in 1996, it shipped 16 million units and raked in $1 billion, riding the wave of rock ‘n’ roll and evolving with 8-tracks, cassettes, CDs, even DVDs. But the internet, file sharing, and iTunes doomed it — even after bankruptcy and pivots to Blu-rays, it

A radical new blueprint for an independent Alberta has ignited controversy, proposing an elected president, open-carry gun rights, and a fourth branch of government that can trigger binding referendums with just 3% support. Drafted by the Alberta Prosperity Project — linked to the polarizing “Black Hat Gang” — the 54-page plan includes term limits, a Calgary-based president, and an Edmonton legislature, but experts call it amateurish and dangerously destabilizing.

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney has walked away from trade talks with the U.S., slamming Washington for unreasonable demands on culture, autos, and sovereignty — calling it a “lack of interest in a true economic partnership.” The U.S. pushed for controversial concessions like Canadian subsidies for French media, bilingual labeling, and restrictions on Canada’s trade autonomy — all of which Carney deemed non-starters.

The PWHL’s championship Walter Cup has gone missing—vanished from a shipping container in Lethbridge, Alberta, just days after Montreal Victoire’s Dara Greig was set to hold it. Unlike the NHL’s Stanley Cup, the PWHL doesn’t have a dedicated courier for its trophy, leaving fans and officials scrambling to track it down. This special cup, designed with hockey stick rods and engravings of the league’s original teams, was awarded to Montreal in May as the first Canadian team to win the PWHL title

A Toronto-based golf cart company is facing a crippling $178,000 bill after Canada’s government reclassified its electric carts as “vehicles,” triggering a 100% import tax.
