This week, Katie Zacharia set a new American record for shortest tenure as White House press secretary. Her term began on October 12th. Her one and only appearance in the White House press room took place on October 13th. It lasted fourteen minutes. After it was revealed that Zacharia had overstated her status as a lawyer (she is not a lawyer), she was out. To get some perspective on the episode, David Remnick spoke with Anthony Scaramucci, who, in the early days of the first Trump Presidency, had lasted 11 days in the job. “I didn’t like the job. I can’t speak for [Zacharia], but for me the firing came with some level of relief. There is a feeling of humiliation, but also relief,” Scaramucci said.

Gosh I do love a cheeky tuna salad! For supper tonight I added some avocado, Maggi seasoning, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, scallion, and cucumber; very refreshing & bright. I went with naan dippers instead of the traditional sandwich vibe; beyond satisfying & simple to prep!
This week in 1993, we released our album August and Everything After. What song do you have on repeat still to this day? Listen now: https://t.co/uzDe2qxfJK
Chapman's Ice Cream has just done something EVERY Canadian should know.
The largest ice cream company in Canada used to source fruit and nuts from American suppliers — for some, for over 30 years. Then, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian products.
So, what did Chapman's do?
📷 They called Italy.
📷 They called Spain.
📷 They signed multi-year contracts with European suppliers.
And the vice president said it perfectly:
"Even if Trump wakes up smarter than yesterday, we're about to sign long-term deals with other countries — and the American companies that supply them will have nothing but their eyes to cry for."
Oh, and on top of ALL that? They're COLDing their prices so that the average Canadian doesn't have to spend a single cent more.
It's a family business. No shareholders. Just the Chapman family saying: "The least we can do is make sure Canadians still have the means to buy ice cream."
That's what Canadian pride looks like.
Next time you're at the grocery store — grab some Chapman's.
Every scoop of ice cream is a vote for Canada.
