With better handling and efficiency than the CR-V, the Honda Accord hybrid is a great reminder of a time when sedans ruled
A once venerable breed, the sensible mid-size sedan is dwindling toward extinction. American brands have stopped making sedans in favour of crossovers and SUVs sold to consumers as more convenient and flexible for busy families. The choice of SUV over sedan becomes even easier with the added security of all-wheel drive and a higher seating position. SUVs are more profitable for car companies because they can make them bigger and stuff them full of options you would likely never need such as off-road packages and big wheels. In the U.S and Canada, there's a loophole in the regulations that cuts SUVs slack when it comes to fuel efficiency. Still, there are sedans that have survived, such as the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord, considered the benchmark of the segment. For decades, these sedan brands have been the most trusted by consumers, earning the No. 1 and 2 spots for mid-size sedan sales in Canada and the U.S. Personally, I find the Honda more enjoyable to drive. It has better steering and body control and a more comfortable ride. The Accord added some new trims for 2025 but didn't change anything else. All Accords bound for Canada are currently assembled in Marysville, Ohio, which would make them subject to tariffs, but the prices aren't currently affected. Base models have a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but the rest of the lineup is outfitted with Honda's fourth-generation hybrid system, which mates an efficient four-cylinder engine to two electric motors. One of the motors drives the wheels directly, while the other is connected to the gas engine, working as a generator to charge the battery or supply power to the propulsion motor. The gas engine only powers the wheels during steady-state cruising at more than 100 kilometres an hour, but in most situations, the electric motor does the heavy lifting of moving the car. The biggest advantage of this hybrid system from the driver's seat is the refinement. When the gas engine fires up, it's quiet and doesn't stay running for long. If you need full power to pass someone, both the engine and motor can team up to provide pleasingly linear acceleration and a combined 247 lb-ft of torque – and it sounds good. It's a better experience for the driver compared to the hybrid system in the Toyota Camry, which is just as efficient but lacks Honda's smoothness and responsiveness. You can get the same powertrain in the Honda CR-V, but the efficiency takes a noticeable hit. According to Natural Resources Canada the Accord hybrid will consume an average of 5.3 litres of gasoline every 100 kilometres, while the CR-V will burn an extra litre or more to cover the same distance. In a year, that would amount to $341 saved at the pump at $1.55 per litre when driven 20,000 kilometres a year. That's not a small amount and is attributed to the Accord's lower weight and more aerodynamic profile. I'm no stranger to the perceived convenience of an SUV. I bought my first one recently, a 10-year-old Honda CR-V. It replaced a sedan that I drove for 13 years. I figured the CR-V's extra space would be useful, but so far I haven't needed it. I like the extra height because it makes getting food from a drive-thru easier and my seven-year-old son, who sits in the back, gets a bit more leg room. Our groceries usually go on the floor behind my seat because it's easier than opening the tailgate. I find myself looking for reasons to use the 1,000-plus litres of cargo space, but so far, I haven't had any. And commuting in an SUV, which is usually done alone, is like going for a walk with an empty hiking backpack when a wallet is all you need. The Accord is also a better handling vehicle. It's not as if the CR-V isn't well-mannered, but there's a big difference between it and the CR-V. The Accord has better steering, road feel and stability over bumps. Raising the suspension on a vehicle, and therefore its centre of gravity, hurts driving dynamics. SUVs typically have a poorer ride and tend to jiggle and shudder over uneven roads. It seems like a bad deal to have to live with a vehicle that's fundamentally worse for the few times a year when you go on a camping trip or to Ikea. The Accord is a wonderfully refined vehicle with fantastic fuel mileage in the hybrid trim, back seats that are just as spacious as the CR-V's and a trunk big enough for any Costco run. It also has a great interior with comfortable seats, nice soft-touch materials on the dash and a good infotainment system. It's simple to use, has Google Maps built-In and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Two knocks against the Accord are its price and the absence of all-wheel drive, which you can get in a Camry. A base CR-V also starts about $2,000 less than the base Accord – a deal that's hard for most consumers to pass up. But for those who are looking for sensible and efficient transportation, the Accord has been providing it since 1977. The new one continues that tradition proudly, while also reminding drivers of a time when sedans ruled the road. 2025 Honda Accord Touring Hybrid Shopping for a new car?

Popeyes accused of using ‘unsafe' chicken allegedly stored in residential garages in Ontario
A lawsuit filed against Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is accusing the fried chicken chain of buying 'unsafe' meat from an unauthorized seller that was allegedly storing and packaging raw chicken in residential garages in Ontario. The lawsuit was filed at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on May 26 by ADP, a former raw chicken supplier to Popeyes. The company alleges they lost their contract with Popeyes after bringing forward its concerns about the 'unsafe supply' of products. Popeyes, Restaurant Brands International (RBI)—the Toronto-based company that owns the fast-food chain—and Restaurant Services Canada Inc. (RSCI), the supply chain manager, are all named in the lawsuit. Popeyes, for its part, said in a statement to CTV News that the claims from ADP Direct Poultry Ltd. are unfounded and that it found 'no evidence' to support them following an investigation. The lawsuit also names another company as the unauthorized supplier that allegedly provided, at times, 'rotten or expired' chicken deemed 'unfit for human consumption' to various franchisees across Ontario. The documents continue to say this chicken created a public health risk because it was delivered in vehicles that did not have the proper refrigeration to prevent it from spoiling. The statement of claim alleges that these tainted products were bought by various franchisees—both known to ADP and not, all named in the suit—due to their lower prices. The lawsuit also alleges the franchisees continued to sell the chicken to customers, even after ADP brought forward its concerns that the products did not adhere to food health and safety standards. The allegations have not been tested in court. As laid out in the documents, Popeyes had a system of authorized suppliers and distributors who adhered to the company's specifications and standards, meaning franchisees were required to purchase from within their approved list of vendors. Any restaurant looking to purchase ingredients outside of the company's list of vendors had to write a formal request, after which the supplier in question would have to submit to an inspection to ensure it meets the requirements as well as health and safety standards. ADP claims the chicken sold by the unauthorized company was not inspected by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) or any other inspector. CTV News Toronto contacted the CFIA for comment. The supplier claims RSCI, meanwhile, did not investigate the unsafe supply of chicken as they promised and instead conspired to 'manufacture a rationale for removing ADP' from their authorized vendors list. In turn, the filings further allege franchisees were 'upset about the reporting of the unsafe supply' and worked with the RSCI to lodge 'false or misleading' complaints about the quality of their products. CTV News has reached out to Restaurant Services Inc., parent company to RSCI, for comment but has not yet heard back. 'We believe this former supplier is lashing out after losing our business for a variety of legitimate reasons,' Emily Ciantra, Popeye's director communications, told CTV News Toronto in a statement. 'We have always been committed to rigorous safety standards, including regular inspections by third party auditors who verify our strict standards are being followed.' ADP seeks $35 million in damages from Popeyes, RBI and RSCI, citing breach of contract and breaches of the Competition Act. The documents state that $30 million is to cover ADP's loss of profits after their contract—which was expected to continue until 2027—was prematurely terminated. An additional $5 million is to cover the costs the supplier incurred after boosting its production facilities to meet Popeyes' increased production demand, the documents state. ADP also seeks $1 million in punitive damages. The supplier adds it also lost out on business opportunities, such as providing products to other fast-food chains like Wendy's. Additionally, the raw chicken supplier is seeking at least $10 million in damages from the unauthorized company, who it deems liable for 'unlawfully interfering' with ADP's economic relationship with Popeyes, as well as $500,000 in aggravated damages. ADP also seeks $150,000 from each franchisee and an account detailing the quantity of 'unsafe supply' they bought from the company as well as how much they profited from the unauthorized products. 'The defendants' conduct was malicious, high handed, intended to cause harm to ADP, endangered the public, and warrants aggravated and punitive damages,' the filings state.
