We’ve spoken on the show before about this new search for the Loch Ness monster, where an international research team is testing DNA from the Loch Ness lake to establish once and for all whether the beast really exists.

No matter what the results tell, us there will always be those who TRULY believe in the Loch Ness. So what’s the science and psychology behind that? Why are some so willing to believe in things that really might not be true?

A recent study by the Canadian Men’s Health Foundation has found 72% of Canadian men are considered “unhealthy.”

Nana Chaichanhda (Chi-can-dra) is crediting her pitbull puppy for saving not only her life, but the life of her 7-month old baby when the home they were staying in caught fire.

Ending on a story here that has everything to do with North Korea...and nothing to do with politics. The Chosun Ilbo - one of South Korea’s major daily newspapers - is reporting on Kim Jong-un’s travels to Singapore. They say the leader came with a convoy of three planes...one carrying food and other essentials for Kim including his bullet-proof limo and “a portable toilet that will deny determined sewer divers insights into the supreme leader’s stools.”

Just around an hour ago, Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un finally met in Singapore.

Well it was a wacky weekend of trade, tweets, and threats between Trump and Trudeau in the aftermath of the G7 summit. A comment from Trudeau at the conclusion of the summit where he noted tariffs from the US were “kind of insulting” and that Canada “will not be pushed around” launched a tirade of tweets from the US president calling Trudeau “meek and mild.” But it didn’t stop there...

Starting off with an important story from Ontario, and no it’s not about the provincial election. Ontario Provincial Police announced today and distracted driving has become the number one cause of death on Ontario roads.

And one more quick Trump story...the president is on a pardoning spree, telling reporters before he left for the G7 summit he was considering pardoning some 3000 people who were treated unfairly or given unfairly long sentences.
