You thought AI was a cool technological development, but ... have you heard about heating up sand?
The world's largest sand battery just went live in Finland
Finland has inaugurated an industrial-scale sand battery this week in the southern town of Pornainen, where it'll take over heating duties from an old woodchip power plant for the municipality. It's s...

Relax everyone, those AI-looking synthetic non-consensual re-renderings of some of the biggest creators' videos by YouTube are not GEN-AI. They are MACHINE SCHOOL BOY LITTLE BABY LEARN AND GROW INNOCENT BABY LEARNING.

Covering Canada's national teams is a privilege.

However, Canada Soccer's decision to partner with an American network feels like a huge missed opportunity to directly support & elevate talented, dedicated Canadian independent media who consistently cover & champion the beautiful game here at home.

Glad I’ll now be able to tell which products at Loblaws are overpriced due to tariffs, and which ones are overpriced due to everyday price-gouging by Loblaws.

Cops, I've been told, prevent crime.

At around 7p, the RCMP got a report of a drunk driver in a civic.

At around 11p, a driver and passenger and a few others are dead after a civic traveling the wrong way on the highway crashes.
Crash that killed 5 in Nova Scotia involved car going wrong direction on highway - Halifax | Globalnews.ca
RCMP were already investigating a "possible impaired driver" involving a Honda Civic when it collided with another vehicle while travelling in the wrong direction.

New: "It's embarrassing to lose 3-0 at home, for sure," says Thomas Meilleur-Giguère following @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social's first loss of the season.

A look at Halifax's first real challenge and what is says about them after defying expectations.

Between their Canadian Championship exit and a 3-0 loss to Cavalry FC, the Wanderers now face their first real challenge this season
It's unfair to say the Halifax Wanderers were bereft of expectations. There were certainly internal expectations starting this campaign: that of ownership, the coaching staff and players. Fans — be i...

Why is every news cycle around Alphonso Davies always so bloody exhausting.

He's a 24 year old millionaire with free will who needs to stop having everyone else fight his public battles for him & speak, he's GROWN.

And not the 1st player on the planet to suddenly tear an ACL.

Alessandro Biello, one of Canada’s top youth prospects, needs minutes. RDS analyst Olivier Brett says CF Montréal prioritized loaning him to a club that wanted the young midfielder; it remains to be seen where @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social will use him in a deep midfield. #CanPL
The Wanderers have acquired Alessandro Biello on loan. But what can fans expect of the CF Montréal midfielder?
The plot — or their midfield, in this case — continues to thicken for the Halifax Wanderers as they added one of Canada’s top prospects this week, signing 18-year old CF Montréal player Aless…
