Edmonton urban farmers relocate 400 trees in anticipation of move
Dustin Bajer has spent the past several years growing trees at the Edmonton Urban Farm, a large-scale community garden that allows hundreds of local green thumbs to produce their own food. Now, he needs to find new homes for 400 trees because the farm's current location is set for redevelopment, and a new site won't be ready until 2026. CBC News caught up with Bajer and other urban farmers as they salvage what they can for the 2025 growing season.

Millennials Are Sharing The Biggest Lies We've Been Told As A Generation, And Now I'm Depressed
Millennials were raised on promises of flying cars, stable careers after college, and the dream of owning a home. But here 2025, none of that feels remotely true. We're drowning in student debt, hustling through a gig-based economy, and watching Gen Z ironically recycle our baggy jeans, along with the rest of the early 2000s trends we wore unironically. While deep-diving through r/Millennials, I came across a post asking millennials to share the biggest lies they were told growing up. From participation trophies to the myth that turning on your car's cabin light at night is illegal, these responses pull back the curtain on just how many tall tales shaped our generation. 1."That millennials created participation trophies. I was 7 in 1988 when my summer baseball team placed second-to-last in league play, and every player was literally awarded a trophy. I PROMISE you, at the age of 7, I did not have the resources to order trophies for myself and all my teammates." –u/sacklunch 2."The food pyramid and the idea that different areas of the tongue taste different flavors." –u/Square-Hedgehog-6714 3."Take out student loans to pay for your degree, and you'll definitely get a job making enough to pay off the loans." –u/the-jish 4."You will write all your papers in college in cursive. Lmao." –u/Briebird44 Related: "That Sentence Sat In My Head For Months": Men Are Revealing The Most Hurtful Things A Woman Can Say To Them, And It's Actually Fascinating 5."If you're a good driver and don't have any claims, your insurance rates will decrease over time." –u/MillwrightWF 6."That our future was going to be so much better than our parents'. We were all going to be high paid white collar workers, and the economy was going to keep growing fast enough to make that a possibility for everyone. Lol, instead our life expectancy is going down while retirement age keeps going up and the economy isn't even keeping up with inflation." "I used to worry more about it, but I'm starting to think it's the boomers that need to panic as they lose control of the vote and the younger generations finally want their pieces of the pie." –u/SoggyGrayDuck 7."Quicksand is a common thing and knowing how to escape it will likely save your life one day." –u/akronguy84 8."Discussing your salary with coworkers is wrong." –u/jgasbarro Related: People Are Sharing How What Happened In Vegas Did NOT Stay In Vegas, And This Should Be A Lesson To Never Go To A Bachelor/Bachelorette Party There 9."Don't talk to strangers on the internet. Don't get in a stranger's car. Today, I use the internet to hail an Uber so I can get into a stranger's car. But really though, stranger danger was really overblown when we were kids and has made society more insular and crappy." –u/clothespinkingpin 10."'Hard work will bring success.' Total bullsh*t. This is literally what you tell exploited workers. They told our parents, and our parents told us, believing them." "From personal experience, it's all about how much you are liked and your ability to convince people to say yes when asking for more. I am at an executive level and manage people with certifications and better marks in school than I have. This wasn't because I was smarter or anything. It's because when I started here five years ago, I decided I was going to play the social angle, and it's surprisingly effective. I dressed like them, talked like them, and walked like them. It wasn't long before they considered me one of them and treated me as such." –u/jmirelesv3 11."That the United States was built on a system of checks and balances and that the President is not a king." –u/Liquid_1998 12."'You'll become more conservative when you're older.' That's bullshit." –u/ANotSoFreshFeeling 13."The Philadelphia Eagles will never win a Super Bowl." –u/Kindly-Leather-688 14."Be loyal to your job and they will stand behind you 100%. Cue the Great Recession early in my career…luckily, it showed me early on that loyalty to a company is BS. I'm loyal while there, but if I get an uneasy feeling at some point, I'm looking out for myself." –u/GeauxFarva 15."'Cellphones and the internet are rotting your brain. We don't allow phones in this classroom.' Fast forward to 2025, when you need a cellphone to order at a restaurant, and the internet to basically make money. Without either, you basically don't exist, but back in the day, you weren't allowed more than 30 minutes on a cellphone, if even." –u/Legal-Baseball9203 16."Turning on the car cabin light while driving at night is illegal." –u/poison-rationality 17."Video games will get you nowhere in life. Now I see teenagers and 20-somethings making six figures or more streaming online. It's wild how you can never really know the future (but act like you do)." –u/sstubbl1 18."That you couldn't eat a vegetable or fruit seed because a plant will grow inside of you (curious to know if this was something in other countries, too)." –u/Admirable_Green_1958 What do you think has been the biggest lie told to millennials as a generation?

Search for 4 missing people after air ambulance crash resumes on Quebec's North Shore
Quebec provincial police say they're searching Watshishou Lake, on the North Shore, for four people who went missing after their helicopter crashed Friday night. Divers with the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) are joining a search party involving the Canadian Armed Forces Sunday. The search for the missing people aboard the helicopter had to be paused overnight. The SQ was alerted to the crash around 10:30 p.m. Friday. The Airmedic helicopter carrying four crew members and one passenger, was in the process of a medical evacuation when it crashed into a lake shortly after takeoff, according to Canada's Transportation Safety Board (TSB). One of the crew members managed to escape, confirmed Airmedic, in circumstances that are still unclear. The person was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, the SQ said on Saturday. The Royal Canadian Air Force is also participating in the search, said Lieutenant-Commander Len Hickey, senior public affairs officer for Joint Task Force Headquarters. The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax has dispatched a CC-130 Hercules and a CH-149 Cormorant helicopter to assist, the officer said. The TSB has opened an investigation into the crash. Quebec's workplace safety board (CNESST) has also gotten involved. Airmedic called the incident a tragedy that has deeply shaken its team, it wrote in an emailed statement. "Due to this, management has temporarily suspended operations in order to prioritize the well-being of our teams and provide them with all the necessary support," the company wrote. Watshishou Lake is about 50 kilometres north from the shore of the Jacques Cartier Strait and just under 900 kilometres northeast from Quebec City.

Will an egg cooker change your life? Amazon reviewers swear by this $29 'seriously' life-changing gadget
If you're looking for ways to make your morning routine easier, you might want to check out the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker from Amazon Canada. This egg-cellent gadget, which boasts nearly 90,000 five-star reviews, promises to simplify the task of making breakfast or lunch, whether you like your eggs soft-boiled, hard-boiled, poached, scrambled or in omelette form. Plus, it's shockingly tiny, so you won't have to worry about losing precious counter or shelf space. This handy kitchen gadget makes perfectly cooked eggs every time with "little to no effort." Designed to save time and take the guesswork out of making eggs, this electric tool boils, poaches and scrambles. It can even make small omelettes. Simply choose from the three included trays: boiling (for up to six eggs), poaching (for up to two eggs) or omelette. Then add your eggs and the correct amount of water with the included measuring cup, close the contraption and set the timer based on the firmness you want. The power light will illuminate when your eggs are cooking, and thanks to the clear lid, you can watch it all happen. When the eggs are ready to eat, a musical chime will play and the machine will automatically shut off to prevent overcooking. Weighing in at just one pound, the cooker is astonishingly small: just 19.1 centimetres tall, 19.1 centimetres wide and 15.2 centimetres high (7.5 x 7.5 x 6 inches). ⭐️ 4.5/5 stars 💬 123,000+ reviews 🔎 'One of my favourite kitchen gadgets." It "sounds silly to say an egg cooker changed my life," says one reviewer, "but seriously." This handy little device really does make egg prep so much easier. Shoppers love that they can "set it and walk away" rather than keep an eye on a boiling pot. When the eggs are ready, a "cute bell noise" sounds and it's "loud enough to hear from another room." The hard-boiled egg setting seems to be the favourite and is just about foolproof. For other types of eggs, it may take a bit more finessing. The gadget only cooks "one small omelette at a time," for example, and it's not especially quick. One perk is that the machine is delightfully compact. You'll "be shocked at how small it is," says one shopper. There's even "less cleanup" than traditional cooking methods. Several customers note that boiled eggs are "much easier to peel" than if they'd been cooked in a pot. But one reviewer says that you shouldn't run them under cold water first because "that makes the peeling more difficult." Other reviewers note that the amount of water you choose is really important, "so pay attention" to the measuring cup markings. However, one customer says the lines are "very difficult to read" so she marked them more clearly with a red Sharpie. According to thousands of reviewers, the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker is a total game-changer. Whether you like boiled or poached eggs, this tiny device will make them to perfection and you won't need to watch over a boiling pot. It's also super easy to clean. But if boiling or poaching isn't for you and you prefer scrambled eggs and omelettes, you're probably better off sticking with a frying pan.
