How to Choose the Best VPN in 2025 – Advice from The VPN Advisor

Online privacy and security are no longer optional. Whether you browse on public Wi-Fi, stream shows abroad, or just want to stop advertisers tracking you, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) has become an essential tool. But with hundreds of services out there, how do you choose the right one? That's where The VPN Advisor helps. As a dedicated VPN comparison site, it cuts through the noise and shows which providers truly deliver. In 2025, VPNs remain vital for: Privacy – Encryption makes it harder for ISPs, hackers, or advertisers to monitor you. Access – Unlock region-restricted content from global news to streaming platforms. Security – Stay protected on café, airport, or hotel Wi-Fi. Not all VPNs are equal. Look at: Speed – A VPN should handle streaming and video calls smoothly. Server coverage – More locations mean more flexibility. Privacy policy – Strong no-logs rules and audits matter. Device support – Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, routers, and more. Value – Balance features with price; the cheapest isn't always best. The challenge is separating marketing hype from real performance. The VPN Advisor provides side-by-side reviews of major services, showing their strengths and weaknesses clearly. That means you can pick the VPN that suits your needs, whether you want speed for streaming, the best value, or maximum security. A good VPN is as important as antivirus software. Before you commit to a subscription, compare the market. Visit The VPN Advisor for clear comparisons, honest reviews, and advice to help you find the right service. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Movie theatre business grew in 2024, but still short of pre-pandemic highs: StatCan

OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says movie theatre business grew in 2024 but still hadn't reached its pre-pandemic peaks. Every two years, the agency releases a look at the state of movie theatres. Its report for 2024 showed operating revenues hit $1.6 billion last year, up 12 per cent from 2022. Statistics Canada says that marked a rebound from COVID-era restrictions, but still fell 13.1 per cent below the record of $1.9 billion seen in 2018. Theatre attendance was also stagnating, the agency says, at roughly two-thirds the levels seen six years earlier. Statistics Canada says the average ticket price rose to $12.54 in 2024, up 5.5 per cent from 2022 and 31.9 per cent from 2020. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 19, 2025.

2 Dirt-Cheap Stocks to Buy With $1,000 Right Now

Written by Rajiv Nanjapla at The Motley Fool Canada Amid the expectation of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve due to easing inflation and solid second-quarter earnings, the S&P/TSX Composite Index has continued its uptrend, rising 12.9% year to date. However, the following two Canadian stocks have failed to impress investors and have lost a substantial percentage of their stock values this year. Given their discounted stock prices and healthy growth prospects, I expect these stocks to outperform over the next three years. Lightspeed Commerce Lightspeed Commerce (TSX:LSPD), which offers omnichannel commerce solutions to businesses worldwide, has been under pressure this year, with the company losing 22% of its stock value. Meanwhile, the company posted a healthy first-quarter performance of fiscal 2026 last month, beating its guidance. Its top line of $304.9 million was higher than its guidance of $285-$290 million. Year over year, its revenue grew 14.6% amid the expansion of customer locations and increased ARPU (average revenue per user). Increased software prices and growing adoption of its payments have increased its ARPU. Meanwhile, the company's net losses rose from $35 million to $49.6 million. Higher direct, general and administrative, research and development, sales and marketing, interest, and tax expenses led to an increase in its net losses. However, its adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) increased by 55.9% to $15.9 million. Further, it ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $447.6 million and is well-equipped to fund its growth initiatives. Amid the expanding e-commerce market, enterprises are adopting an omnichannel selling model, thereby expanding Lightspeed's addressable market. Also, the company is developing and introducing new innovative products and artificial intelligence-powered features to strengthen its position. Moreover, the company's management has reiterated its three-year guidance, with its gross profit and adjusted EBITDA projected to grow at an annualized rate of 15-18% and 35%, respectively. Therefore, the Montreal-based company's growth prospects look healthy. Further, the recent pullback in Lightspeed's stock price has dragged its NTM (next-12-month) price-to-sales multiple down to an attractive 1.4, making it an excellent buy. WELL Health Technologies Another cheap Canadian stock that I am bullish on is WELL Health Technologies (TSX:WELL), which has lost 30.3% of its stock value this year. The ongoing investigation into Circle Medical's billing practices appears to have made investors nervous, dragging its stock price down. However, it reported an excellent second-quarter performance last week with record revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income. Its revenue grew 57% to $356.7 million amid organic growth, acquisitions, and $40.5 million contributions from HEALWELL AI. It had over 1.7 million patient visits during the quarter, with around one million coming from Canada. The tech-enabled healthcare company's adjusted EBITDA rose 231% to $49.7 million during the quarter, while its adjusted EPS (earnings per share) came in at $0.10, representing a significant improvement from $0.02 in its previous year's quarter. Meanwhile, the growing adoption of virtual healthcare services and the digitization of clinical procedures have expanded the addressable market for WELL Health. Meanwhile, the company is developing and launching artificial intelligence-powered products to expand its customer base and strengthen its position. Additionally, the company is continuing with its inorganic expansions and has completed 14 acquisitions year to date. It has signed 15 letters of intent that can contribute $134 million to its annualized revenue. Considering its organic and inorganic growth initiatives, I believe its growth prospects look healthy. Additionally, the company currently trades at 11.3 times analysts' projected earnings for the next four quarters, which looks cheap considering its healthy growth prospects. Considering all these factors, I expect WELL Health to deliver oversized returns over the next three years.
