For more than a decade, 24 Sussex Drive, the official residence of Canada's prime minister, has sat empty, falling into disrepair. It's been plagued by everything from outdated infrastructure to mould and even rodents, leaving prime ministers to live elsewhere. Prime Minister Mark Carney says it's finally time to do something about it. Should Canada spend money fixing the prime minister's official residence when so many Canadians are struggling to afford housing? Or is this about preserving an important piece of our national identity? Mohammed Adam, who discusses this in a recent column in the Montreal Gazette, spoke to Ken Connors.

If you've ever driven through Saint-Lazare, you've probably noticed horses grazing peacefully behind fences. It's a beautiful part of living in that community, and for many people, the temptation is to walk over and offer them a carrot or an apple. But horse owners are warning that this well-meaning gesture can actually be dangerous. A Facebook post from one local horse owner has been getting a lot of attention after she reminded residents that feeding horses without permission can lead to serious health problems and in some cases, even be life-threatening. Lindsay Louise Ward Hernandez, a lifelong horse enthusiast and horse owner in Saint-Lazare spoke to Ken Connors.

Prime Minister Mark Carney appears to be succeeding where previous governments struggled, and one reason may be that he's reading the room. New polling shows a majority of Canadians now support building new oil pipelines. So what's behind this shift, and what does it tell us about Canadians' priorities? National political columnist Tasha Kheiriddin, whose latest column in the Montreal Gazette argues this is one of the reasons Carney is finding political success, spoke to Ken Connors.

If you’ve taken an Uber from Montreal-Trudeau Airport recently, you may have noticed a big change. The rideshare pickup area has been moved from the terminal curbside to the Leigh-Capreol zone, meaning passengers now have to walk several minutes after arriving before they can get picked up. The airport says the move is meant to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow, but some travellers say the new system is confusing, poorly explained, and especially frustrating after a long flight.Christopher Chang works in the aerospace industry and was at Trudeau Airport earlier this week; he spoke to Ken Connors.

A freight train derailment in Repentigny over the weekend sent dozens of railcars off the tracks and left many residents shaken.

Video games are more popular than ever, with millions of people spending hours a week immersed in virtual worlds.

Emojis have become part of the way many of us communicate. But what about using them at work? Does adding a smiley face to an email or Teams message actually help, or could it make you seem less professional? A new study from the University of Ottawa looked at how people perceive emojis in workplace messages. Erin Courtice, lead author of the study and a postdoctoral researcher at Toronto Metropolitan University, spoke to Andrew Carter.
