The last fight of the Dionne Quintuplets. The two still-living sisters—who, along with their deceased identical siblings, were put display in North Bay 83 years ago—gave a rare New York Times
interview to speak out against a plan to move their log house across town. The city is no longer up for maintaining the former Quintland site as a tourist attraction—and no groups answered a request to maintain it. “I think the museum staying in North Bay will help to block making foolish choices, like what they did to us, you know,” says Annette. “And it will never to be repeated again.” (But her sister Cécile isn’t so sure.)

Pharmaceutical billionaire's cousins are claiming a fiduciary duty. Fifty years after Barry Sherman and some associates paid $450,000 for a laboratory, which they later sold off for proceeds that seeded pharma giant Apotex, the orphaned sons of the initial founder are still seeking the financial equivalent of 20 per cent of the family fortune. Sherman claims the entire lawsuit is an abuse of process and wants it thrown out. (Some of Sherman's wealth has helped underwrite a different dream: the show business career of Frank D'Angelo.)

Wife's farting deemed potential dealbreaker. The Toronto Star’s advice columnist responds to a man who was rarely intimate with the woman he married 10 months ago—only to learn she’s excessively flatulent and strives to laugh it all off. Ellie's response advocates seeking medical insights, or at least researching home remedies—but she implies that if none of this works it might be time to say goodbye.
