A surprising number of Canadians nearing retirement—about 29%—expect to still be paying off their mortgages once they stop working. The article dives into how this could impact their golden years and offers practical tips for managing finances to avoid unnecessary stress.

Editor’s Note: Retirement is supposed to be about relaxation, not financial strain. With nearly a third of soon-to-be retirees facing mortgage payments, this story highlights a growing reality—many Canadians aren’t entering retirement debt-free. It’s a wake-up call for younger homeowners to plan ahead and for older ones to rethink their financial strategies before it’s too late.

South Africa is taking a big step toward addressing unresolved wounds from the Apartheid era by appointing judges to lead a commission. Their job? To figure out why prosecutions for crimes committed during white minority rule have dragged on for decades—and finally push for accountability.

Editor’s Note: Apartheid ended 30 years ago, but many victims and families are still waiting for justice. This move signals that the government hasn’t forgotten—though skepticism remains about whether it’ll lead to real action. For a country still grappling with inequality and racial tensions, confronting the past isn’t just about legal closure; it’s about healing (or at least trying to).

A young male southern elephant seal caused a stir when it unexpectedly wandered through the streets of a coastal town near Cape Town. After a brief adventure in human territory, the seal safely returned to the sea—captured in videos and photos that show its unusual detour.

Editor’s Note: It’s not every day you see a massive elephant seal strolling through town! While it’s a reminder of how wildlife sometimes crosses paths with urban areas, the happy ending—and the seal’s safe return—makes this a heartwarming story. It also highlights the importance of coexistence and quick, humane responses when animals venture where they don’t usually belong.

The BJP is taking shots at Rahul Gandhi after senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid backed the government’s tough stance on Jammu & Kashmir, including the scrapping of Article 370 and the controversial Operation Sindoor. The BJP claims Gandhi is parroting Pakistan’s talking points, turning this into yet another political slugfest over national security and loyalty.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about policy—it’s about optics. With elections never far off in India, the BJP is keen to paint the Congress as soft on Pakistan, while the Congress is caught between supporting its own leaders and distancing itself from anything that might look like dissent. The real story here? The relentless politicization of national security, where every statement becomes ammunition.

RJ Mahvash, a radio jockey recently rumored to be involved with cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, stirred up fresh speculation after attending an IPL match in Punjab Kings' colors—Chahal's ex-wife's team. She posted a cryptic Instagram story seemingly addressing the dating rumors, then disabled comments, adding fuel to the gossip. Both Mahvash and Chahal have repeatedly denied being more than friends, but the public’s curiosity isn’t fading anytime soon.

Editor’s Note: Celebrity relationships always grab attention, especially when there’s drama involved. With Chahal’s recent divorce and Mahvash’s vague posts, fans are reading between the lines—even if there’s nothing confirmed. It’s a classic case of social media fueling speculation, showing how public figures navigate privacy (or lack thereof) in the spotlight.
