Quebec City cancels concert of MAGA musician facing backlash in several cities
Social Sharing Quebec City is the latest Canadian city to cancel a scheduled appearance by a controversial Christian rock musician and rising star in the MAGA movement. Sean Feucht was scheduled to play a free concert on Friday at ExpoCité, a site owned and managed by Quebec City. It was part of a series of events scheduled across North America for his "Revive in 25" tour. But the singer has been facing backlash in several cities. Feucht, who unsuccessfully ran for U.S. Congress as a Republican in 2020, is also a missionary and an author who has spoken out against the 2SLGBTQ+ community, abortion rights and critical race theory on his website. His set performance on Wednesday in Halifax changed locations on Tuesday after Parks Canada revoked the organizer's permit to play at the York Redoubt National Historic Site. In a news release, Parks Canada stressed that the event was not being put on by the agency, but rather was being hosted by a permit holder. 'New elements' prompt Quebec City to terminate contract On Wednesday, Quebec City confirmed in a statement that ExpoCité has decided to terminate the contract and therefore cancel the event on its site, following "new elements" that has been brought to its attention. "The presence of a controversial artist was not mentioned in the contract between ExpoCité and the promoter of the concert scheduled to take place on its site this Friday," read the city's statement. The city said the reservation for the artist was made by promoter BURN Canada, a worship ministry. Hours before the city's decision to terminate the contract, news of the Quebec City concert was met with apprehension by some groups and opposition councillors at city hall. Transition Québec's party leader Jackie Smith said she was disappointed that the city was allowing this type of event to take place. "The city should not make its spaces available to propaganda groups that insult our communities and seek to divide us on the basis of our identities," read her statement. "We don't want this hatred in our neighbourhoods." Feucht was scheduled to play in Charlottetown on Thursday, but the city said Wednesday it had revoked his permit. Another concert planned for Moncton, N.B., on Thursday was also scrapped when that city revoked the booking.

Cafe Amberdo Offers a Serene Escape in the Heart of Kitsilano
Tucked away from the daily rush of Kitsilano, there's a café that seems to follow its own quiet rhythm. It doesn't chase trends. It doesn't compete. It simply is unpretentious, calm, filled with soft light streaming through tall windows, and carrying the kind of scent that reminds you of home. At first glance, nothing shouts for attention. Nothing feels artificial. The space is minimal yet warm plain wooden tables, plants thoughtfully arranged by the windows, and a small display case that draws you in more than any billboard ever could. This is a place locals know well. Many start their day here with warm bread, fresh coffee, and a few moments of stillness before the noise begins. Some come back in the afternoon, maybe for a slice of cake, maybe just for the quiet familiarity the place offers. For them, Café Amberdo isn't just a stop, it's part of their daily rhythm. A New Story in the Display Every Morning Each morning, a new story begins behind the glass display. There's no repeat menu here, no day-old pastries. Everything is made fresh, just for that day. And by the day's end, it's all gone. This constant cycle of flavor and freshness is one of the reasons people fall in love with this café. The croissants are served while they're still warm crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Some days the display is bright with a lemon cake; other days it might be a fig tart or an apricot galette. It all depends on the season, and the mood in the kitchen. And the coffee? It's never just coffee. It's selected with care and brewed with patience. There's no rush. No soulless speed. The cup in your hand is a quiet gesture of attention to the taste, to your mood, to the moment you're in. At Café Amberdo, this balance between flavor and feeling has become its signature. A Place That Speaks, Even in Silence In many spaces, we feel the need to perform act formal, act friendly, follow a script. But not here. At Amberdo, you're allowed to just be. If you want solitude, the space offers it. If you want to write, read, or simply watch the world go by, no one intrudes. Tables are spaced just right. The music is always in the background, never the main act. The lighting is soft and natural not staged. Every detail is designed to make you feel comfortable without having to pretend. The staff are the same way. Quiet, attentive, and genuinely present. You don't need to explain things twice. After a visit or two, they'll remember what you like. It's this quiet awareness, this understated hospitality, that makes people stay. Even the small things reflect that spirit. Packaging is fully recyclable. Leftovers aren't thrown out they're donated to local causes. None of it is a marketing trick. It's just how things are done here. At Café Amberdo, respect for people and for the planet is woven into the fabric of the place. A Place That Lasts—Without Needing Ads In a neighborhood like Kitsilano, there are plenty of places to get a coffee or a pastry. But staying in someone's memory takes something more than just taste or design. What brings people back is the quiet sense of trust they feel even on a first visit. No one here tries to sell you anything. People find the place on their own. And those who walk in even just once often come again. Even if all they did was sit in silence for a few minutes. Without flashy ads or seasonal discounts, Café Amberdo has found its way into the hearts of its visitors. Not by copying anyone else. Just by being honest. Just by staying true to a few simple things. And that's what makes it unforgettable. In a world where most places are starting to feel the same, sometimes all it takes is one small, sincere space to remind you what real feels like.

An amateur video of a black bear gulping down a bottle of Brisk Iced Tea at a northwestern Ontario landfill has gone viral, sparking amusement and disbelief online. Black bear - ice tea - drink A blackbear in Fort Hope First Nation is shown chugging a bottle of iced tea in July 2025. (Shayna Kyla/Facebook) The footage, shot by Shayna Kyla at the local dump in Fort Hope First Nation earlier this month, shows the bear struggling with the bottle before managing to drink from it. 'This made me and Peg laugh,' Kyla said in her initial social media post. 'I didn't get to catch the part where he opened the bottle.' At one point in the video, Kyla and another woman can be heard screaming 'Eee!' as the bear chugs the drink before leaving the empty bottle behind. The clip has drawn widespread reactions, with one commenter calling the bear 'pretty smart,' while another said, 'I'm amazed, like 'Wow!' (so) smart.' A third joked that if polar bears have Coca-Cola, black bears can have Brisk or Pepsi. Black bear - ice tea - hold A blackbear in Fort Hope First Nation holds a bottle of iced tea in July 2025.
