8:30 –Yesterday, Pope Francis delivered a formal apology for how the Catholic Church was involved in the residential school system. He said “I am sorry.

11:00 –The tipping trend has been growing, as some businesses such as grocery stores, fast food places, and even auto body shops are pressing individuals to leave a tip. In an article by Josh Freed in the Montreal Gazette, he says “when you grab your own sandwich from a cooler and bus your own table, you shouldn’t be pressured to tip %15 per cent or more.” Freed calls this the “tip creep” which presumably started during the pandemic when restaurants were only able to serve takeout. What do you think? Should we get rid of the tipping option for certain businesses? Who deserves a tip these days? Call/text us at 1-877-332-8255!

12:00 – New research from the University of Saskatchewan dives into the evolution of dog diets in a new study. Dr. Robert Losey, a professor from the University of Alberta said that “dogs evolved from wolves somewhere in Europe and Asia during the ice age.” According to this study, it was assumed that dogs evolved to eat grain-rich diets due to genetic adaptation.
