"I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide competitive process," Trudeau stated to reporters in Ottawa. "Last night, I asked the president of the Liberal Party to begin that process." With the Liberals trailing the opposition Conservative Party in surveys and internal disputes blazing over his treatment of President-elect Donald Trump, the troubled prime minister's exit ...

Super Bowl-winning coach Doug Pederson was fired by the Jacksonville Jaguars in what is probably the first of many "Black Monday" firings in professional football.

Shortly after finishing their 4-13 season, the Patriots made a snap decision by firing rookie head coach Mayo on Sunday. Pederson went 9-8 in 2022 and 2023 before finishing his three-year stint at Jacksonville with a terrible 4-13 campaign. Once the brilliant field general who guided the Philadelphia Eagles to the 2018 Super Bowl championship, Pederson has had a lengthy decline in popularity.

The subject of whether fluoride in drinking water is associated with lower IQ scores in youngsters is once again brought up by a recent study. The study reviewed 74 other studies that looked into the potential effects of the mineral on children's IQ scores and was published in JAMA Pediatrics Monday.

It was not possible to interview Taylor. According to Taylor, children's IQs ...

In a move that could set the stage for a challenge to succeed him as prime minister, Justin Trudeau announced Monday that he will step down as leader of Canada's ruling Liberal Party.
