Quebec City region received 75 millimetres of rain in less than two hours on Thursday
Quebec City got absolutely drenched on Thursday—think 75 to 84 millimetres of rain in under two hours—turning streets into rivers and forcing people to evacuate. The storms didn’t stop there; high winds in southern Quebec knocked out power and left a trail of damage.
Editor’s Note: Flash floods and storm damage disrupt lives in an instant, and this deluge is a stark reminder of how extreme weather can overwhelm cities. With climate change fueling more intense storms, infrastructure and emergency responses are being tested like never before. For Quebec, it’s another wake-up call to adapt—fast.

Car ploughs into crowd outside LA nightclub, injuring 30
NegativeWorld Affairs
A chaotic and violent scene unfolded outside a Los Angeles nightclub when a car plowed into a crowd, leaving 30 people injured. Witnesses say the driver was pulled from his Nissan Versa by angry bystanders, who then beat and shot him before police arrived.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another hit-and-run—it’s a disturbing example of how quickly a chaotic situation can spiral into mob violence. Beyond the immediate injuries, it raises questions about crowd safety, vigilante justice, and whether tensions in nightlife districts are boiling over. LA’s already on edge with rising crime rates, and incidents like this only fuel public anxiety.
US tech CEO resigns after Coldplay concert embrace goes viral
NegativeWorld Affairs
The CEO of a US tech company stepped down after a video of him getting cozy with someone at a Coldplay concert spread like wildfire online. The company stated he didn’t live up to their standards for behavior and accountability—basically, his off-duty antics didn’t pass the vibe check.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just gossip—it’s a sign of how blurry the line between personal and professional life has become for high-profile execs. Companies are quick to distance themselves from leaders whose actions, even outside work, could damage their reputation. It’s a reminder that CEOs aren’t just bosses; they’re the face of the brand, for better or worse.
France wants to nuke citizens’ holidays to fund a fantasy war with Russia
NegativeWorld Affairs
France’s government, under Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, is reportedly considering cutting paid holidays to redirect funds toward military spending—framed as preparation for a hypothetical conflict with Russia. The proposal has sparked outrage, as vacation time is practically sacred in French culture. Critics see it as a tone-deaf move that prioritizes geopolitical posturing over citizens' well-being.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about budgets—it’s about political priorities clashing with daily life. The French love their holidays (who doesn’t?), and messing with that is a surefire way to fuel public anger. It also raises questions: Is this genuine defense prep or political theater? Either way, it’s a risky gamble for Macron’s team, already struggling with low approval ratings.
Ukraine seeks new round of talks with Russia
NeutralWorld Affairs
Ukraine is pushing to restart peace talks with Russia, despite a recent surge in fighting. The negotiations had stalled back in June, but Kyiv is now signaling a willingness to return to the table—likely hoping to de-escalate tensions or find a diplomatic off-ramp.
Editor’s Note: Talks between Ukraine and Russia have been stop-and-go for months, with little progress. This latest move suggests Ukraine isn’t giving up on diplomacy, even as the war grinds on. Whether Russia will engage—or just use it as a stalling tactic—is the big question. Either way, it’s a reminder that behind the headlines of battles and bombings, there’s still a fragile backchannel trying to find a way out.
