Back-to-school season is just around the corner, and for many families, that means it's time to get kids back onto a regular sleep schedule after a summer of later bedtimes and sleeping in. But sleep isn't just about feeling rested, it's critical for concentration, memory, decision-making, emotional regulation and overall well-being. So how much sleep do kids actually need, and what's the best way to reset their body clocks before those early school mornings begin? Sleep researcher Dr. Rébecca Robillard from the University of Ottawa, spoke to Ken Connors.

Karl Lohnes is Editor-in-Chief of Style at Home magazine. He joined Ken Connors with back to school decorating ideas on a budget.

If you’ve ever looked at a flock of seagulls at the beach, or a group of penguins huddled on the ice, you’ve probably wondered how they tell each other apart? To the human eye, they look completely identical. But in the animal kingdom, mistaking a stranger for your mate, your chick, or a rival can have disastrous consequences. Dr. Leslie Phillmore, a Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Dalhousie University, spoke to Andrew Carter.

A constitutional challenge could put Quebec’s rules around the oath of allegiance to the King back in the spotlight, just weeks before the provincial election. Quebec made the oath optional for MNAs in 2022, after several Parti Québécois members refused to swear allegiance to King Charles. But constitutional lawyer Lawrence David says this isn't really about personal loyalty to the King, he argues Quebec may have changed a constitutional rule without following the proper process for amending Canada's Constitution. David has filed a lawsuit asking Quebec Superior Court to strike down that law. Lawrence David spoke to Andrew Carter. Photo Credit: THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jacques Boissinot

Rockland Centre, the luxury shopping mall that was purchased for more than $271 million in 2014, was recently sold for just one dollar. The mall is now valued at about $115 million, and the one-dollar sale was actually part of a share sale, which can transfer ownership of a property, along with its debts, leases and other liabilities, without actually selling the building itself for a dollar. Leora Schertzer is the Montreal Gazette reporter who broke down the deal, spoke to Andrew Carter. Photo Credit: THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ryan Remiorz

Remember MySpace? Before Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, it was one of the biggest social-media platforms in the world. Its current owners say they intend to relaunch the platform, although there’s no timeline yet. And the timing is interesting, because we’re also seeing growing fatigue with algorithm-driven feeds, endless scrolling and the pressure to constantly perform online.

If you’ve ever called Quebec’s 811 health line, you may have experienced the frustration of waiting, sometimes for hours, to speak with a nurse or get a callback. The service is supposed to help people figure out whether they need to see a doctor, go to a clinic or head to the emergency room, but a new report from the Montreal Gazette highlights just how difficult it can be to actually get help. Teresa Tucci recently called 811 when her daughter was sick, and says she waited hours for a callback that never came. Teresa spoke to Andrew Carter.

Donald Trump has never exactly been accused of thinking small, and now he appears to be in a race to leave his mark on Washington, quite literally. From grand plans and sweeping changes to the desire to put his name on things, critics say the rush to create a lasting legacy is turning into something of a spectacle. Éric Blais is president of Headspace Marketing in Toronto and the author of "Normal Nation: How Normalcy Could Play in a Third Québec Referendum", spoke to Andrew Carter.
