Curious to see if this just kills StubHub and SeatGeek and Ticketmaster's own re-selling site with its extra fees that add to the price of tickets?

FIRST LOOK: Val Kilmer has been resurrected via AI to star in the new movie "As Deep as the Grave." Kilmer was cast in the movie in 2020, five years before his death. But he was too sick amid his throat cancer battle to ever make it to set. Now an AI version of the actor is appearing in the film, with the full blessing of his daughter, Mercedes: "He always looked at emerging technologies with optimism as a tool to expand the possibilities of storytelling. This spirit is something that we are all honoring within this specific film, of which he was an integral part.” “He was the actor I wanted to play this role,” says writer-director Coerte Voorhees. “It was very much designed around him. It drew on his Native American heritage and his ties to and love of the Southwest... His family kept saying how important they thought the movie was and that Val really wanted to be a part of this. He really thought it was important story that he wanted his name on. It was that support that gave me the confidence to say, okay let’s do this. Despite the fact some people might call it controversial, this is what Val wanted.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lH1PI

"89 per cent resent businesses that prompt for tips they feel are unwarranted.
89 per cent believe tip percentages have become too high."
My favourite is delivery apps that when you try to enter your own tip % they change it from a % to a dollar figure to make you math :\

I don't know if this is an economic alert per se, it's not good, but it's also at a time when passenger car prices averaged about $63,000 in 2025, compared to $23,000 in 1999. (Before you ask, median Canadian household wages went up only about $20,000 in that period)

🚨BREAKING ECONOMIC ALERT🚨 JAN. CANADIAN PASSENGER CARS SALES (IN $ AND UNITS) FALL TO THEIR LOWEST LEVEL IN AT LEAST 26 YEARS The $548,714,000 and 12,238 units sold in Jan 2026 marks the single worst month available in Stats Canada records.

🧵Doug Ford's former chief of staff traded in his old phone without properly backing it up, losing months of texts from a key period in 2023, including around the Greenbelt fallout.
How do we know? An FOI request which wouldn't be allowed under the new rules. #OnPoli

@JohnPasalis Is this a new-build price maybe? There was a moment when pre-con prices in the 905 touched 1 million.

Just what the province had in mind when they created strong mayors I am sure:
🏭🏘🏢Sean Galbraith🗻❄️🥏@PlannerSean
Markham’s mayor for the first time has used his strong mayor powers… to block city-wide 4plexes that council approved. Presumably this puts in jeopardy the federal housing money the city has already agreed to, as this was a condition of those funds. markham.ca/sites/default/…

Exclusive: Canada's banking regulator warns major lenders about appraisal practices as condo prices crash

Ben Rabidoux@BenRabidoux
1/ Maybe @OSFICanada can comment on the emerging practice of "blanket appraisals" by big banks on new condos. I've heard this from many in the industry and verified it myself via land registry data on some new builds. @SteveSaretsky discusses it here youtu.be/j0MLXpEvAu8?t=…
English
Ben's been way ahead on this. The real scandal has always been that this lets the banks take construction loans off their books and transfer that risk to hundreds (thousands by now!) of individual buyers who now have a loan the exceeds the value of their property. Disaster.
Ben Rabidoux@BenRabidoux
I've been all over the blanket appraisal story and wondered how @OSFICanada could allow loans clearly in violation of the Bank Act. Seem they're getting nervous--> Banking regulator warned major lenders about blanket appraisals amid condo market crash theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…

It looks like we are in the worst real drawdown on record for Canadian residential real estate prices.

@ShaziGoalie Yep. Because they don't want people to know, easily anyway, that they sold for a loss. You can still find out as a realtor with MLS access and also if you check land registry. Just making it harder for accurate market info to get out.
