Bernier Bro sets fire to a rival brochure. A piece of Erin O’Toole’s campaign literature was burned in a video posted on a Facebook page dedicated to shitposts about Maxime Bernier. A few of Bernier's staffers clicked their approval before the clip was removed. (But it seems like Deepak Obhrai could use Bernier's help when it comes to going viral.)

Sum 41 mom used to party with her son. Deryck Whibley’s recovery from alcoholism has allowed him to resurface on the early-2000s bubblepunk nostalgia circuit. And he’s got full support from his mother, Michelle Gordon, now that Whibley is roughly the age that she was when Sum 41 gained fame. But it turns out that mom was part of the backstage action, too, and she recalls one specific wild flight to Japan:
“We drank the plane dry and kept getting kicked out of first class."

Professional tenant crashes society periodical. James Regan, whose refusal to pay rent led to a series of weird tribunal hearings
(leading to an investigation of his chequered past, followed by charges for assaulting his landlord), gets profiled in The Walrus: “He is at war with law, at war with facts, at war with human nature,” writes Michael Lista. “He’s even at war with gravity—as his cons come crashing down.” Regan wasn’t interviewed for the story—but his bluster at the tribunal and trail of relationships provide colour. (The digital edition can be viewed via the Toronto Public Library.)
