Good times start at the THC stop sign. Health Canada released its proposed new symbol for legal marijuana products, and the aim seems to be to make everything as unexciting as possible. The boring packaging will likely mean more producers signing up newsworthy influencers like straight-edge buffoon Gene Simmons. But then, the government graphic showing what micro-cultivators can legally grow utilizes a clearly Canadian comparison:

You won’t be run over by a self-driving Uber just yet. The death of a woman struck by an autonomous car in Tempe, Arizona led Uber to suspend testing of the vehicles in four cities, including Toronto. The first sighting of the AVs was last August, as they conducted mapping tasks with humans behind the wheel.

Nancy Dubuc, who just replaced Shane Smith as Vice's CEO, is the woman who steered the A&E channel into the lowbrow reality-show business with Duck Dynasty. Her new role may involve making Viceland less sophomoric. Still, there’s no denying that certain optics remain at play:

Downtown North York seems destined to be driven past forever. City council will soon consider a committee recommendation to reject “Re-Imagining Yonge,” a proposal to make the section of the street between Sheppard and Finch friendlier to cyclists and pedestrians. Meanwhile, efforts to spruce up the Sheppard Centre are about to spell the end for its Brutalist aesthetic from 1976:

Drake’s confession of vegetarianism gets PETA on his case. “I don’t eat meat anymore,” the rapper recently said. “But I enjoy pineapple on pizza though.” In response, a new petition urges Drake to stop working with Canada Goose. PETA, echoing his song “Marvin’s Room,” says: "You could do better.”
