Perfect Imperfection: Yolanda Estévez on the Beauty of Human Touch
After a decade of working as a designer for a number of European fashion houses, Yolanda Estévez felt everything was moving too fast. To be sure, the innovation, creativity, and the sheer buzz were exhilarating. But the unsettling pace, the trend-chasing production cycle, and the up-to-the-minute design culture were eroding her love of bringing ideas to life.
5 ways to save money when charging your EV
5 Ways To Save Money When Charging Your EV If you drive an electric vehicle, most of your expenses will be spent on "fuel." The advantage is, you're more likely to spend less to charge an electric vehicle than an ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicle. On top of that, you would need to service an electric vehicle occasionally — but it's, on average, 50% cheaper than a gasoline vehicle.
Glasgow sells homes faster than anywhere else in Britain. Why?
Flats are taking a third longer to sell nationally than they did 2 years ago, while houses haven’t slowed at all. In Glasgow, it’s the opposite. Flats are the fastest-moving property type in the country, and they’re still getting faster. So why are homes selling faster in Glasgow, and what can the rest of us learn from it?
Brun de Vian-Tiran: Inside France’s Oldest Textile Mill Weaving Noble Fibres
The Inca emperors forbade anyone but the noblest families to wear them. The empires of both China and Spain controlled their production and export under penalty of death. Napoleon gifted them to his queen—and sparked a continent-wide fashion craze among European aristocrats. Photo by Stéphane Candé, photo courtesy of Brun de Vian-Tiran Today, one need not prove royal lineage to wear silk, cashmere, merino wool, alpaca, or other noble fibres.
Tolaga Bay Cashmere: Creating Garments at the Edge of the Pacific
It’s hard to imagine a more out-of-the-way place than Tolaga Bay, or one more ruggedly beautiful. Located on the windswept eastern shore of New Zealand’s North Island, the area is surrounded by emeraldgreen hills, blanched sandstone cliffs, and a crystalclear view of the vast expanse of the southern Pacific Ocean. Cashmere goats raised among the coastal hills of Tolaga Bay, where nature is woven into every fibre. It’s not exactly the kind of place you’d expect to find a cashmere operation.
Gift from the Steppe: Oyuna Tserendorj on a Sensory Homecoming via Her Design
Soul. That’s the word that comes to mind when you try to describe Oyuna Tserendorj’s approach to her work, her designs, her manufacturing process, and the very threads of the noble fibres she touches and shapes. For the Mongolian-born designer, cashmere is an intensely sensory experience. And also something more: a carrier of emotional energy, cultural connection, and spiritual meaning all at once.
Brun de Vian-Tiran: Inside France’s Oldest Textile Mill Weaving Noble Fibres
Two centuries is a long time to stay in business, especially in fashion. To survive for so long requires something exceptional: an ability to evolve, a farsighted vision, an uncompromising commitment to absolute quality, and a different understanding of what it means to be a luxury brand. Brun de Vian-Tiran checks all these boxes. As the oldest active cloth-weaving factory in France, the maison traces its roots back to Napoleon’s empire.

To the Moon, With Canada
Current Issue — Canada is playing a role in helping NASA build its moon base and helping an entire industry achieve liftoff. It won’t be the first time we’ve stepped on the moon. But this time, the visit will be considerably longer than the couple of hours Armstrong and Aldrin enjoyed on their initial sojourn. Starting in 2029, NASA will begin building the Artemis lunar station—a $20-billion permanent moon base that will serve as a home-very-far-away-from-home for astronauts.
Chevy's 5 Biggest Car Flops Of All Time
Chevy is one of the oldest and biggest automakers in the world. More than 4 million Chevy vehicles are sold in over 100 countries around the world every year (via Chevrolet). Also, Chevrolet is under General Motors' umbrella. Of course, it hasn't always been rainbows and butterflies. From having one of the best-selling cars in United States history (via Motor Trend) to its parent company (General Motors) filing for bankruptcy, Chevy has lived through its best and worst days.
Tesla Body Damage Repairs Cost Way More Than You Might Expect
A Tesla Model 3 - Yauhen_D/Shutterstock Tesla is synonymous with electric vehicles, and most people think it makes the most reliable EVs. It also doesn't spend a dime on advertising, yet it's the most valuable car company in the world. From having the best safety ratings, next-level software, autonomous technology, and cheaper fuel cost, there are a lot of reasons why people love Tesla cars. Of course, they're also zero-emission vehicles, and that counts towards saving the planet.
Pitch Profit: The Business of the FIFA World Cup
Pitch Profit: The Business of the FIFA World Cup Current Issue — How big money has transformed the biggest sports tournament in the world. To its 3.5 billion or so dedicated fans, it will always be the beautiful game. At its highest level, football (or soccer, if you insist) is a sport of grace and panache, one that captures a poetry of motion and purity of spirit in 90-ish minutes of pitch-perfect glory.
The Robot Will See You Now
The Robot Will See You Now Current Issue — While 7.5 million of us live in rural or remote areas, a mere 1,500 of the country's medical specialists are there alongside. Fresh air, clean water, proximity to nature, the complete absence of rush hour—there’s a lot to be said for country living. Unfortunately, access to acute and specialist medical care doesn’t often make the list of benefits.

A Pilgrimage to El Califa de Léon
A Pilgrimage to El Califa de Léon Current Issue — Mexico City is home to the world's most celebrated taco stand. Admit it: you love tacos. The crispy batter of Baja-style fish; the deep umami of slow-braised barbacoa; the smoky sweet char of spit-roasted al pastor; even the satisfying crunch of a Tex-Mex hard shell on a busy Tuesday night. You’re certainly not alone. Over the past several years, tacos have become one of the most celebrated of all Mexican exports.
Canadian Researchers Are Leading Efforts to Protect the World’s Wines From Climate Change
Canadian Researchers Are Leading Efforts to Protect the World’s Wines From Climate Change Current Issue — Even the most casual wine drinker has at least one story of a special bottle enjoyed in a special place with special company tucked away in their memory. That’s the thing about wine: no matter how memorable the flavour, the experience is often what one remembers. Strange to think such memories were almost erased.
‘The Wizard of Oz at Sphere’ Made $290 Million in 2025
The AI-powered version of “The Wizard of Oz” presented at the Sphere in Las Vegas made $290 million in ticket revenue in 2025, Sphere Entertainment announced in its earnings call on Thursday. Sphere CEO James Dolan also revealed that his company is in talks to bring other new presentations to the unique Vegas venue and will develop an “enhanced” version of the “Oz” film that is tentatively scheduled to roll out in late 2026.
Finland Makes a Name for Itself in the Production of Hydrogen
Finland Makes a Name for Itself in the Production of Hydrogen Current Issue — Lapland, Finland Outside the occasional visit to the sauna or tuning in to a year-end international hockey tournament, you probably haven’t thought too much about Finland lately. Perhaps it’s time to reconsider that lack of consideration. The well-known, yet often overlooked, northern nation is trying to make a name for itself in a well-known, yet often overlooked, future technology: hydrogen.
Canada’s Helium Boom: How the Country Is Emerging as a Global Supply Powerhouse
Canada’s Helium Boom: How the Country Is Emerging as a Global Supply Powerhouse Current Issue — With new reserves, government backing, and rising global demand, the Great White North is positioning itself as one of the world’s most reliable helium suppliers. If you’ve been to a kids’ party, you know the fun you can have with helium. Turns out you can make a lot of money with it too.

Woman’s Brain Health Initiative Wants Us to Rethink About Aging
Woman’s Brain Health Initiative Wants Us to Rethink About Aging Current Issue — The Toronto-based organization aims to keep women healthy, body and mind. All together now: one, two, three. That’s the amount of time it will take for someone, somewhere in the world, to become newly afflicted with dementia—about one every three seconds, about 10 million every year. Almost two-thirds of those will be women. All told, a pretty good rationale for why we need the Woman’s Brain Health Initiative.

Rooms With a Boo
Current Issue — The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver offers guests a supernatural experience. The grand staircase at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, 1939. Recipe for a ghost story: a dramatic setting. A tragic passing. A moody aesthetic. A history of uncanny events, unexplained happenings, and unsettling experiences. The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver certainly checks all the boxes.
Faircraft Leather Is Trying to Make Leather a Little Less Tough to Make
Faircraft Leather Is Trying to Make Leather a Little Less Tough to Make Current Issue — It takes 10,000 hours to get good at something, we’re told. What about 7,000 years? That’s about how long humans have been tanning, stretching, crafting, and stitching leather into all manner of things. And it’s easy to see why: leather is tough, durable, abundant, and infinitely variable—anything from car seats to “too-cool-for-you” jackets to fist-hardened punching bags can be made out of the stuff.
Rolling With the Punches
Current Issue — Michele Romanow embraces failure on the way to business success. Michele Romanow freely admits she’s been beaten up a bit in her business career. Not literally, of course. But when you’re one of the country’s most successful (and most visible) serial entrepreneurs, putting up with a bit of pain is part of the job description. “There is a level of masochism and just plain pain tolerance—like chewing glass—that is involved in building a company,” Romanow declares.

What Happens When AI Comes for Popular Music?
What Happens When AI Comes for Popular Music? Current Issue — It was only a matter of time before AI-literate producers found a way to turn artificial music into real profits. The press shots were the first clue that something was off: the skin too polished, the lighting too staged, the expressions of both joy and earnestness too forced and too plastic. The band’s name was another giveaway. It was too close to that famous art-rock outfit to be a coincidence.
UBC’s New Building for Biomedical Engineering May Spark an Entirely New Industry
UBC’s New Building for Biomedical Engineering May Spark an Entirely New Industry Current Issue — Photo by Philip Chin Much has been written about how big ideas happen; much less about where. But it matters: by congregating innovators, researchers, and entrepreneurs in a centralized location—Bangalore, Shenzhen, and of course, Silicon Valley—ideas blossom, innovations multiply, and a culture of what if? thinking becomes part of the culture. That’s the idea behind the new Gordon B.
A Quebec Company Is Redesigning the Tools and the Traditions of Baseball
A Quebec Company Is Redesigning the Tools and the Traditions of Baseball Current Issue — There are certainly faster sports (hockey). Fiercer (football). More difficult (golf). And more quirky (cheese rolling). But when it comes to the most traditional, it’s hard to beat baseball.
Pickleball Joins the Big Leagues
Pickleball Joins the Big Leagues Current Issue — What is all the racket about? A plastic whiffle ball, a forgiving set of rules, a nonsensical name—it should be obvious that nothing that happens on a pickleball court was ever intended to be taken too seriously.
The Canadian Startup Conquering Missed Concussion Diagnoses, One Spit Test at a Time
The Canadian Startup Conquering Missed Concussion Diagnoses, One Spit Test at a Time Current Issue — Even without the hip checks, slapshots, and occasional sticks to the face, it takes a certain degree of courage to chase a disc of superchilled rubber around a sheet of ice at high speed. But what might happen to the body is only the most visible kind of risk on offer at the good ol’ hockey game. What might happen to the brain? That’s in a different league altogether.
Northern Lights: A New Generation of Airships Could Soon Be Flying in Canada’s Arctic
Northern Lights: A New Generation of Airships Could Soon Be Flying in Canada’s Arctic Current Issue — Canada's Inuit-owned airline Canadian North has plans for Look up—way up. You might see something unusual in the sky: Canada’s newest airline, one that may not be an airline at all. It may, in fact, be a fleet of lighter-than-air blimps.
Documentary: Blackwater Draw Doc | Backstage
Director's Bio Dugan Bridges is a filmmaker whose work includes multi-national brands, distribution by Amazon & TimeWarner and features in the NYTimes & USA Today. During his career, Dugan has had 5 projects reach distribution while winning 45 awards and garnering hundreds of millions of social media views.
Artificial Intelligence Poses a Solution to Subjective Sports Scores
Pity the poor figure-skating judge. Unlike the person in charge of the stopwatch at the track, the job of judge is highly technical (was that jump a lutz, a salchow, a loop, or an axel?) and subjective (was it worth a 7.6 or a 7.7?) at the same time. This sounds like a job for AI.
Are Classroom Cellphone Bans Actually Working?
Are Classroom Cellphone Bans Actually Working? Current Issue — The world has learned a few things since the advent of the iPhone back in 2007—first among them that it’s tough to learn anything when one’s close at hand. Ask any grade school teacher: multiplication tables can’t hold a candle to Call of Duty, Spotify, Instagram, TikTok—or in many cases, all of the above, all at the same time.
Scientists Are Working to Make the Ocean a Quieter Place
Scientists Are Working to Make the Ocean a Quieter Place Current Issue — The louder things get underwater, the harder it becomes for whales, dolphins, fish, and other species to navigate and communicate with their kind. Ask anyone living in any city: ours is a cacophonous world. But if you want to really give your ears a workout, try living undersea.
Family Fortune
Current Issue — The Great Wealth Transfer will change Canada's economy. And maybe Canada itself. Imagine you uncovered a chest of pirate treasure in the backyard, a long-lost Picasso in the attic, the winning 6-49 ticket stuffed in the back of the kitchen junk drawer.
Alberta’s Fight Against Rats Holds a Big Lesson for Us All
Alberta’s Fight Against Rats Holds a Big Lesson for Us All Current Issue — Why are there no Rattus norvegicus in Alberta? Plentiful hydrocarbons. Low taxes. High-performing hockey players. Over the years, much ink has been spilled about the so-called “Alberta Advantage,” that special something that makes Canada’s “get-er-done” province stand out from the other nine. Let us add one more to the list: the near-complete absence of Rattus norvegicus—the Norway (or brown) rat.
Alberta’s Alison Cristiciello Reads the Story of Climate in 30,000-Year-Old Ice
Alison Criscitiello is used to being cold. As a high-altitude mountaineer and glaciologist, she’s spent the better part of both her working life and her leisure time in some of the coldest places in the world: at the summit of some of Earth’s highest peaks; in a tent on Antarctica’s ice shelf; peering through microscopes in a state-of-the-art lab that resembles an industrial-sized meat locker. “I like doing hard things, both physically and otherwise,” she says with a wry smile.
Artificial Intelligence Is Putting Ever-Increasing Demands on Our Resources
Artificial Intelligence Is Putting Ever-Increasing Demands on Our Resources Current Issue — That important email to your boss. That snippet of code for your website. That screenplay you’ve had in your head for years. All that work you’re doing with artificial intelligence is creating a very real problem: it’s consuming an astounding amount of electricity.
One of the World’s Most Sustainable Materials May Break Our Addiction to Everything Unsustainable
One of the World’s Most Sustainable Materials May Break Our Addiction to Everything Unsustainable Current Issue — You, dear reader, have a problem with plastics. If you’re anything like the average Canadian, you throw out more than 75 kilograms of it every year. Most of that will end up in landfills, oceans, and waterways. And even the little you do recycle might not always be sorted, cleaned, and processed effectively enough to be used again.
Saving the Earth Starts With Building a Better Battery
Saving the Earth Starts With Building a Better Battery Current Issue — All the effort to “electrify” our carbon-addicted world—billions poured into solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal pipes; millions of kilometres of new copper wire laid down to upgrade aging power grids; political capital spent fighting over carbon taxes and decarbonization incentives—whether any of it works will come down to a technology most of us take for granted: the humble battery.
A New Treatment Cures an Old Disease-and Possibly Many Others
A New Treatment Cures an Old Disease—and Possibly Many Others Current Issue — Casgevy is the world’s first government-approved, effective gene-edited cell therapy to treat sickle-cell disease. For some professionals—advertising executives, sports broadcasters, cult leaders—the word “miracle” comes with the territory. But when a doctor or a researcher uses it, you know something big is going on.

Peter Pennoyer Architects Excel with New Jersey Manor Home
Tradition provides a boundless source of aesthetic inspiration for crafting works of enduring value, particularly when the designer possesses the acumen to masterfully blend heritage with personal creativity. Such a celebration of tradition and innovation is stunningly exemplified in the New Jersey manor home designed by Peter Pennoyer Architects. At a casual glance, the classical stone façade of the home appears to be that of a quintessential manor.
What Is a Tesla Vinyl Wrap, and Should You Get One?
Tesla now offers vinyl wraps for its Model 3 and Model Y, providing a unique look and paint protection against scratches and chips. The vinyl wrap is available in seven colors and costs $7,500 to $8,000, including installation. A clear wrap option is available for $5,000. While the vinyl wrap may be expensive, it can help your Tesla stand out and potentially increase its resale value. The EV tax credit can help offset the cost for eligible customers.
How Often Has Elon Musk Been Sued? The Twitter Lawsuit and More Explained
Since purchasing Twitter and renaming it X, Elon Musk has faced multiple lawsuits, including trademark infringement and class action suits. Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink, all companies led by Musk, have also been involved in various lawsuits, including deceptive advertising and alleged discrimination. Some individuals and organizations have also been sued by Musk, including a non-profit accused of doctoring data and a law firm involved in the Twitter acquisition.
8 Common EV Charging Problems That Need To Be Solved
EV charging station availability is a major issue, with 20.8% of US EV owners encountering out-of-order public chargers, but Tesla's Supercharger network is more reliable. Compatibility issues between charging standards (CCS and Tesla's NACS) pose a challenge, but the market is leaning towards adopting Tesla's standard by 2025. Short charging cables and slow charging speeds are common issues. Different charging port locations and weather conditions can affect the charging experience.
High-Tech Wood Skyrises Might Help Heal the Planet
High-Tech Wood Skyrises Might Help Heal the Planet Current Issue — Pushing the limits on timber to avoid climate disaster. As building materials go, wood has a lot going for it. It’s strong. It’s easy to work with. It’s a renewable resource. Making it doesn’t pump tonnes of CO2 into the sky. Perhaps most important, wood can act as a carbon sink. In fact, pretty much the only limit has been how high you can build with it. Not anymore.
The Pioneering Study Solving Jet Lag
The Pioneering Study Solving Jet Lag Current Issue — New research aims to make the skies a bit friendlier for travellers. Of all the displeasures reserved for the long-distance traveller—bumped flights, lost luggage, dyspeptic toddlers, ever-shrinking bags of cocktail peanuts—jet lag ranks among the worst. You know the feeling: sandpaper in your eyes, a frog in your throat, a jackhammer going off in your head. You’re ready to turn in, but it’s 2:38 in the afternoon.
