The cost of keeping your kids occupied after school Public schools are free, but after-school activities can be serious financial burdens. An op-ed by Sarah Sahagian.

From soccer to violin, extracurriculars enrich kids’ lives but for some parents, the price tag means debt. In 2017, families spent an average of $1,160 a year on extracurriculars. Inflation means it’s likely much more today. @sarahsahagian.bsky.social

Move over Trad wives, meet the ‘Everything Wife’ Like the Trad Wife, the Everything Wife is expected to manage the home, but also is expected to maintain a full-time career as well.

From influencer fantasies to 4 a.m. vacuuming, Sarah Sahagian argues the Trad Wife trend says more about bad husbands than about conservative values. @sarahsahagian.bsky.social

Studies on social media addiction, ghosting, and loneliness to be presented at Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences - rabble.ca Some of the studies at the upcoming Congress of the Humanities will look at how we interact with each other in a digital world.

Awesome to see some health organizations sharing the latest episode of Elbows Up. This one is a topic I think most of us have wondered about since this began. We’ve lost a lot of doctors to America over the years. Can we flip that script?

Ex-boyfriends come in two varieties:

1. We don’t work out but I’m grateful for this experience and how I grew as a result of knowing you.
2. I will sue you if you so much as tell someone we once kissed.

Conservatives need to start acting responsibly and get off the MAGA pathway Poilievre lost the election, whether not he or the Conservatives learned any lessons remains to be seen.

Is Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative movement mimicking MAGA politics? From anti-trans policies to conspiracy endorsements, Paul Kahnert says it’s time for a course correction. #cdnpoli

Including Evan Solomon in your cabinet and kicking out Nate Erskine-Smith is…a choice. And it’s a choice that doesn’t make me super optimistic about Mark Carney’s Canada…#CanPoli

Canada needs a new bereavement policy Three days of paid bereavement leave ignores the reality of grief – a lifelong process that is messy and unpredictable.

How can we expect workers to "bounce back" from a personal loss in just 3 days?
Shreya Kalra argues Canada’s bereavement policies are out of step with the realities of grief — and calls for change.
