2. Sir John A. Macdonald statue at Queen's Park to be uncovered after 5 years: What does the decision to uncover the Sir John A. Macdonald statue at Queen's Park reveal about Ontario's approach to reconciling its colonial past, and how can public monuments serve as tools for healing or division in a multicultural society? In what ways can public monuments, such as the Sir John A. Macdonald statue, be recontextualized to educate the public about historical injustices without erasing uncomfortable truths?

3. Hudson’s Bay will terminate more than 8,000 employees, close stores by Sunday: Should companies facing bankruptcy be legally obligated to prioritize severance and benefits for frontline workers over executive bonuses, and what does the current situation at Hudson’s Bay reveal about the future of retail?
