Newsroom Ready: Chinese pop music's Canadian ties shine in exhibit
A new exhibit at Vancouver's Chinese Canadian Museum pays tribute to Canada's many links to Cantopop and Mandopop music. Museum CEO and curator Melissa Karmen Lee says while the exhibit is about Chinese-language pop music, its story is "deeply local" and uniquely Canadian. (May 28, 2025)

Glencore restructures coal assets under single Australian unit
LONDON (Reuters) -Glencore said on Thursday it had restructured its coal business by moving its recently acquired Canadian mines into a single unit run out of Australia, making it easy to manage. The Swiss-based miner and trader bought Canadian miner Teck Resources' steelmaking coal assets for $6.9 billion and initially outlined a plan to spin off all its coal assets, which was later abandoned. "Combined with the acquisition of EVR we commenced a process to restructure the coal business and align it with the management structure given the coal industrial assets are managed out of Australia," a Glencore spokesperson said. Glencore also owns coal mines in South Africa and is one of the largest producers and exporters of thermal coal, mining 99.6 million metric tons in 2024, down from 106.1 million in 2023. Glencore last year walked back on plans to spin off coal assets after securing backing from a majority of its investors who still anticipate lucrative earnings from the fossil fuel. Glencore said because this process was already underway when it completed the acquisition of Teck's assets, a decision was made to continue with the restructuring and have the coal business under a single unit in Australia. "We chose to complete the restructure despite the shareholder engagement resulting in a decision not to proceed with the spin-off," the spokesperson said. Sign in to access your portfolio

Jackie Chan blames ‘too much money' for critical mauling of ‘Rush Hour 3'
Jackie Chan says 'too much money' was to blame for the lukewarm critical reception to 'Rush Hour 3'. The 71-year-old actor made the admission as he reflected on his career ahead of the release of 'Karate Kid: Legends', in which he reprises his role from the 2010 remake of 'The Karate Kid'. Asked to rank the three films in the Rush Hour trilogy – in which he starred opposite 52-year-old comedian and actor Chris Tucker – Jackie initially hesitated before sharing his thoughts on why each performed the way the film did. He then told BuzzFeed: 'I don't know. You know what, the first one: little money, little time. 'We shot it like, 'Go, go, go, go!' The second one: a lot of money, a lot of time. 'The third one: too much money, too much time.' He added: 'Too much money is no good.' The first 'Rush Hour' film was a box office success and became one of the most popular releases of 1998. It followed Chris as Los Angeles detective James Carter and Jackie as Hong Kong inspector Lee, who team up to investigate the kidnapping of a Chinese diplomat's daughter. The film received positive reviews from both audiences and critics, and helped cement the pair's on-screen chemistry. But its two sequels were less well received. And 'Rush Hour 3', released in 2007, earned only a 17 percent critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. In the film, Jackie and Chris's characters travel to Paris to confront organised crime, but critics noted a decline in originality and energy. Despite the mixed reception to the later films, Jackie has expressed ongoing interest in continuing the franchise. During an appearance at the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia in December 2022, he said he was 'talking about part 4' with the series' director, according to Deadline. No further details have been confirmed. In April 2019 Jackie's management denied reports a fourth instalment was in active development, calling them 'false information' in a statement on his official website.

And Just Like That Premiere: Carrie and Aidan's Long-Distance Romance Hits an Embarrassing Snag (Plus, Grade It!)
Summer is here, and And Just Like That… is back for Season 3 — but Carrie and Aidan's romance isn't exactly turning up the heat. As Thursday's Season 3 premiere opens, Carrie and her beau are still separated, with him moving back to Virginia to take care of his sons, but they're keeping in touch by exchanging postcards… with nothing written on them. (She's sending him photos of old New York, and Miranda quips: 'To remind him you're old in New York?') Carrie insists that she and Aidan have been together a long time, and they know how they feel about each other. But that doesn't change the fact that Carrie is all alone in that big Gramercy Park house, and when she takes a spill and has to call Miranda for help, she realizes just how alone she is. More from TVLine Law & Order: Organized Crime Makes Us Fear That [Spoiler] Is a Goner, Then Hints at the Death of a Different Stabler - Read Recap Was Destination X Too Confusing to Follow? Grade the NBC Competition Hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan Hacks Renewed for Season 5 at Max When Anthony asks about Aidan, Carrie only tells him that he's 'out of town,' but Anthony can't believe she's in that big house all by herself: 'Who are you, freaking Rapunzel?' (Anthony later apologizes, but c'mon, we were all thinking it.) Aidan is missing Carrie, too: He calls her that night and tells her, 'I ache for you.' ('Can men ache?' Carrie asks.) He even gives phone sex a try, but he's drunk, and her cat is staring at her, so she just fakes it while he finishes. She wants a do-over, so she calls him another night and starts talking dirty — but this time, he's in bed with his son after a rough night. This latest failure leads Carrie to open her laptop and start writing for the first time in weeks, penning a line of thinly veiled fiction: 'The woman wondered what she had gotten herself into.' Elsewhere in the Season 3 premiere: * Miranda was back on the prowl at a gay bar, but suffered a humiliating rejection when she approached a girl — who turned out to be Brady's old babysitter. Miranda hung around until closing time, when she was approached by a Canadian tourist named Mary. (Hi, Rosie O'Donnell!) They ended up hooking up at Mary's hotel room, where Mary confessed it was her first time… with anyone. She's a nun! Soon, Miranda realized she had a Stage 5 clinger on her hands, with Mary texting her at all hours. Ghosting a nun would definitely be a sin, though, so Miranda met her in person and let her down easy. At least Mary got to see Wicked while she was in town. * Charlotte came to her dog Richard Burton's defense when a fellow dog owner accused Richard of shattering her dog Peanut's vertebrae. Charlotte was strongly in denial, first blaming her dog walker before learning that her precious pup is more vicious than she thought. It was all a misunderstanding, though: The accuser mistook Charlotte's dog for another bulldog in the neighborhood. Richard Burton, you are acquitted! * Like Carrie, Seema was having long-distance miscommunications this week: She's still with that big-time movie director Ravi, but when she tried to FaceTime him for some intimate time, he sent his assistant to say he's busy on set. Ravi flew to New York to apologize, but then he made her tag along all day as he scouted locations for his movie. When they missed their dinner reservation, Ravi admitted, 'I lost track of time' — and Seema replied: 'You also lost track of me.' She dumped him on the spot, and dove right back into the New York City dating pool. * Lisa was still pitching her PBS docuseries about unsung Black women, but the executives wanted her to add some star power by swapping in Michelle Obama for one of the subjects. Great, Lisa said… now all she needs is an interview with Michelle Obama. Meanwhile, her husband Herbert was desperately trying to up his cool quotient as he runs for comptroller, with urging from his campaign manager Chauncey. But Lisa's ears perked up when Chauncey mentioned he used to work at the White House. Maybe he can help deliver the Big O. (And no faking this time.) Are Carrie and Aidan fooling themselves, or do you still have faith in them? Give the premiere a grade in our poll, and then give us your thoughts on Carrie and company in a comment below.
