Trump Slams Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show as “Un-American”

                                                       Bad Bunny and Donald Trump  Former President Donald Trump sharply criticized Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance, calling it “a slap in the face” to the United States. In a post-game reaction, Trump argued that the Spanish-language performance failed to represent American culture and claimed it was inappropriate for a national event watched by millions of families. His comments quickly ignited debate, with supporters echoing concerns about cultural representation and critics accusing him of dismissing the diversity that defines modern American entertainment. Bad Bunny, one of the world’s most streamed artists, has not publicly responded, but the conversation around the show continues to dominate post–Super Bowl chatter.

Toronto Transit Workers Face Friday Strike Deadline

 

Toronto transit workers are on the brink of a strike unless negotiations see significant changes on key contract issues. The looming deadline, set for Friday just past midnight, could trigger the first TTC strike since 2008.

Core Issues and Impasse

ATU Local 113 president Marvin Alfred stated that negotiations have reached an “impasse.” The union’s nearly 12,000 members are moving toward a strike unless core issues—such as wages, benefits, and job security—are addressed. The union seeks protections against outsourcing jobs to third parties and cross-boundary service transfers to other Greater Toronto Area transit operators.

Optimism and Challenges

TTC spokesperson Stuart Green remains optimistic that a deal can be worked out before the deadline. Negotiations are likely to go down to the wire, balancing the challenging work of union members with affordability for the City of Toronto. TTC chair Jamaal Myers echoes this optimism, emphasizing the need for contingency plans.

Impact on Commuters

A strike could disrupt travel plans for tens of thousands of commuters who rely on TTC subways, streetcars, and buses. While both sides continue bargaining, it’s essential for commuters to have a backup plan in place.
