The recently released holiday rom-com , which stars Mean Girls actress Lacey Chabert and Schitt's Creek alum Dustin Milligan, follows a widow who finds love again after bringing a beautiful snowman to life with a magic scarf. Following its arrival onto the platform on November 13 , viewers can't help but laugh at the absurdity of one particular scene in which Jack Snowman (Milligan) asks love interest Kathy (Chabert) what cancer is. The moment takes place as both characters are sitting Kathy's kitchen while the snowman is preparing some food. 'Can I ask you a question?' he asks, with Kathy instantly replying: 'Of course you can.' Without missing a beat, Jack then says: 'Okay, so earlier today, I was checking the house for vampires and I went downstairs... What's cancer?' Unsure how to respond, Kathy who lost her late husband to the disease, replies: 'Jack, it's um... it's not a nice thing that happens to some people.' Social media users couldn't help but pass comment on the scene, with many stating that it had them in hysterics. A clip from the new Netflix film Hot Frosty has gone viral because it is 'downright insane' The festive romcom stars Mean Girls actress Lacey Chabert (pictured) and Dustin Milligan Taking to X, one user shared a clip of the scene alongside the comment: 'I watched Hot Frosty and it was wonderfully ridiculous but this part was downright insane.' The post garnered much attention, with another adding: 'Watched this with my mom and sister the other day and I screamed at this and they didn't even blink.' 'Went looking for vampires, found cancer. One of life's universal experiences,' a third said. A fourth wrote: 'This scene had me cackling.' 'How did he find cancer in the basement?' a fifth asked. Jack had asked the cancer question shortly after discovering photos and trinkets of Kathy's late husband. Among the treasures that he came across around their home, he also found her spouse's medical notes, which included chemotherapy and ample appointments. Lead star Dustin recently opened up about his love for the script, describing it as having 'depth and heart.' Viewers have been left in floods of laughter over a scene in which Jack Snowman asks Kathy what cancer is Speaking to CBC, he said: 'For a movie that is about a woman who falls in love with a snowman and a snowman who falls in love with this woman — it is, on paper, a very silly premise. 'But I think what I love about the script is that it does have more to it than that. 'There's a bit more depth and heart and it's grounded a little bit more than the premise would suggest, and I think audiences are picking up on that.' He added to the publication: 'I think it's kind of easy to roll your eyes at the genre and to not be as invested. 'And yeah, all of us, we sort of knew the magic that was possible. 'The script was really wonderful, but we knew that there was a little bit more that we could all give in terms of commitment to it. 'I just think as a result, we're very fortunate that it ended up in the final product and ended up kind of resonating with people the way it has.'

Senior members of Canada's cabinet held talks Friday with US President-elect Donald Trump's nominees to lead the departments of commerce and the interior, as Ottawa works to hold off the threat of punishing tariffs. Canada's newly-appointed Finance Minister Dominic Leblanc and Foreign Minister Melanie Joly met with Howard Lutnick, Trump's commerce secretary nominee, who will also lead the country's tariff and trade agenda. Interior secretary nominee Doug Burgum was also at the meeting held at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Leblanc's spokesman Jean-Sebastien Comeau, who confirmed the participants, described the talks as "positive and productive." Trump has vowed to impose crippling 25-percent tariffs on all Canadian imports when he takes office next month. He has said they will remain in place until Canada addresses the flow of undocumented migrants and the drug fentanyl into the United States. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised retaliatory measures should Trump follow through on his pledge, raising fears of a trade war. Leblanc and Joly "outlined the measures in Canada's Border Plan and reiterated the shared commitment to strengthen border security as well as combat the harm caused by fentanyl to save Canadian and American lives," Comeau said in a statement. Canada's Border Plan -- estimated to cost CAN$1 billion ($694 million) -- was crafted as part of Ottawa's response to Trump's concerns. Lutnick and Burgum "agreed to relay information to President Trump," the statement said. Trudeau is facing his worst political crisis since sweeping into office in 2015. Leblanc was named finance minister earlier this month after the surprise resignation of Chrystia Freeland. In a scathing resignation letter, Freeland accused Trudeau of prioritizing handouts to voters instead of preparing Canada's finances for a possible trade war. More than 75 percent of Canadian exports go to the United States and nearly two million Canadian jobs depend on trade. bs/ahaSamsung Galaxy Ring 2 Could Debut During Unpacked 2025: Will It Come With Smarter AI?

S&P/TSX composite down more than 100 points Tuesday, U.S. stock markets also lowerRuben Amorim was NOT anywhere near Man United's first choice and his team looks lost: IAN LADYMAN on how the new manager has talked the talk... but still has a team looking very badLONDON (AP) — A woman who claimed mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor “brutally raped and battered” her in a Dublin hotel penthouse was awarded nearly 250,000 Euros ($257,000) on Friday by a civil court jury in Ireland. Nikita Hand said the Dec. 9, 2018, assault after a night of partying left her heavily bruised and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. McGregor testified that he never forced the woman to do anything against her will and said she fabricated the allegations after the two had consensual sex. His lawyer had called Hand a gold digger. The fighter, once the face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship but now past his prime, shook his head as the jury of eight women and four men found him liable for assault after deliberating about six hours in the High Court in Dublin. He was mobbed by cameras as he left court but did not comment. He later said on the social platform X that he would appeal the verdict and the “modest award.” Hand’s voice cracked and her hands trembled as she read a statement outside the courthouse, saying she would never forget what happened to her but would now be able to move on with her life. She thanked her family, partner, friends, jurors, the judge and all the supporters that had reached out to her online, but particularly her daughter. “She has given me so much strength and courage over the last six years throughout this nightmare to keep on pushing forward for justice,” she said. “I want to show (her) and every other girl and boy that you can stand up for yourself if something happens to you, no matter who the person is, and justice will be served.” The Associated Press generally does not name alleged victims of sexual violence unless they come forward publicly, as Hand has done. Under Irish law, she did not have the anonymity she would have been granted in a criminal proceeding and was named publicly throughout the trial. Her lawyer told jurors that McGregor was angry about a fight he had lost in Las Vegas two months earlier and took it out on his client. “He’s not a man, he’s a coward,” attorney John Gordon said in his closing speech. “A devious coward and you should treat him for what he is.” Gordon said his client never pretended to be a saint and was only looking to have fun when she sent McGregor a message through Instagram after attending a Christmas party. He said Hand knew McGregor socially and that they had grown up in the same area. She said he picked her and a friend up in a car and shared cocaine with them, which McGregor admitted in court, on the way to the Beacon Hotel. Hand said she told McGregor she didn’t want to have sex with him and that she was menstruating. She said she told him “no” as he started kissing her but he eventually pinned her to a bed and she couldn’t move. McGregor put her in a chokehold and later told her, “now you know how I felt in the octagon where I tapped out three times,” referring to a UFC match when he had to admit defeat, she said. Hand had to take several breaks in emotional testimony over three days. She said McGregor threatened to kill her during the encounter and she feared she would never see her young daughter again. Eventually, he let go of her. “I remember saying I was sorry, as I felt that I did something wrong and I wanted to reassure him that I wouldn’t tell anyone so he wouldn’t hurt me again,” she testified. She said she then let him do what he wanted and he had sex with her. A paramedic who examined Hand the next day testified that she had never before seen someone with that intensity of bruising. A doctor told jurors Hand had multiple injuries. Hand said the trauma of the attack had left her unable to work as a hairdresser, she fell behind on her mortgage and had to move out of her house. Police investigated the woman’s complaint but prosecutors declined to bring charges, saying there was insufficient evidence and a conviction was unlikely. McGregor, in his post on X, said he was disappointed jurors didn’t see all the evidence prosecutors had reviewed. He testified that the two had athletic and vigorous sex, but that it was not rough. He said “she never said ‘no’ or stopped” and testified that everything she said was a lie. “It is a full blown lie among many lies,” he said when asked about the chokehold allegation. “How anyone could believe that me, as a prideful person, would highlight my shortcomings.” McGregor’s lawyer told jurors they had to set aside their animus toward the fighter. “You may have an active dislike of him, some of you may even loathe him – there is no point pretending that the situation might be otherwise,” attorney Remy Farrell said. “I’m not asking you to invite him to Sunday brunch.” The defense said the woman never told investigators McGregor threatened her life. They also showed surveillance video in court that they said appeared to show the woman kiss McGregor’s arm and hug him after they left the hotel room. Farrell said she looked “happy, happy, happy.” McGregor said he was “beyond petrified” when first questioned by police and read them a prepared statement. On the advice of his lawyer, he refused to answer more than 100 follow-up questions. The jury ruled against Hand in a case she brought against one of McGregor’s friends, James Lawrence, whom she accused of having sex with her in the hotel without consent.

S&P/TSX composite down more than 100 points Tuesday, U.S. stock markets also lowerEDMONTON — Leaders of the Prairie provinces are urging Canada to act on American concerns over illegal cross-border traffic of people and drugs to stave off the looming threat of 25 per cent tariffs. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, and Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said Tuesday that Canada must do better to address the concerns of its largest trading partner. Incoming U.S. president Donald Trump promised Monday to impose the tariffs on his first day in office in January. He said he would keep the tariffs in place until Canada and Mexico stop illegal border crossings and prevent drugs such as fentanyl from entering the U.S. Kinew said 25 per cent tariffs would mean a recession for his province and that Canada needs to show the new U.S. administration it's serious about security and tackling the drug crisis. He said it begins with Canada’s pledge to NATO allies to spend two per cent of its gross domestic product on defence by 2032. "First and foremost, (it’s about) hitting that target of two per cent spending on defence,” said Kinew. “That gets us in the game just to be taken seriously as a security partner with the U.S. If we don't do it, it's going to become a trade problem." In a video posted to social media, Alberta's premier said Canada needs to reach its pledged commitment on defence. "If their trade partners are looking to be free riders on American security interests, that's also going to harm the relationship," Smith said, adding, "You also have to take seriously the asylum seekers." Smith added in another post that the incoming Trump administration has "valid concerns related to illegal activities" at the border. The U.S. is Alberta’s largest trading partner, with $188 billion in bilateral trade in 2023. Last year, energy products accounted for more than 80 per cent of that trade, or about $134 billion. Smith said the vast majority of Alberta's energy exports to the U.S. are "delivered through secure and safe pipelines," which "do not in any way contribute to these illegal activities." In Saskatchewan, Moe said he understands Trump’s position on border security. “As Canadians, we can all benefit from additional border security stopping the flow of illegal drugs and migrants across our borders,” he said in a social media post. He said his province plans to use all levers at its disposal to stop the tariffs and will approach the U.S. directly. Moe added the proposed tariffs would hurt Saskatchewan’s export-based economy and drive up prices on both sides of the border. Speaking to CTV early Tuesday, Moe said his government would represent Saskatchewan interests alongside the federal government, fellow premiers "and on our own when necessary." "We have a strong relationship with a number of the administration that President Trump has appointed," Moe said. In 2023, Saskatchewan’s exports to the U.S. amounted to almost $27 billion after hitting a record high of $29 billion in 2022. Its top exports include crude oil, potash and canola. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has convened an emergency meeting for Wednesday with the country's premiers to discuss the tariffs.

In 1925, Anatol Josepho invented the automated photo booth in New York City, originally calling it a photomaton. Nearly a century later, historians say only 200 working analog photo booths are left. One of them has made its way to downtown Manhattan. After having traveled to Paris and seen street-accessible analog photo booths, Zoë Lazerson, 27, and Brandon Minton, 25, questioned why there are so few booths available in their home city, New York. “It is the earliest selfie,” Lazerson said. Determined to share their love of analog, the couple bought a photo booth from an owner in St. Louis. After some research, they committed to a 30-hour round-trip drive to transport it back to the Lower East Side. The investment proved to be worth it. Their photo booth, dubbed “ Old Friend ,” has been a success, getting support from a younger generation eager to be captured in the moment by the century-old technology. “I think there’s something about having a physical photo in your hand,” said Marlon, a customer at the booth on a sunny winter day. On average, the booth goes through 400 to 700 photo strips a day. Each session costs $8. “We’ve had the line up to an hour and a half,” Lazerson said. While the analog booth has proven successful as a business venture, keeping it running poses unique challenges. Analog photo booths require regular maintenance, and often the technology required to keep them functioning involves pieces that are no longer manufactured. Meags Fitzgerald, 37, a photo booth historian, is an active member of a tightly knit 50-person community of booth technicians, owners, collectors and enthusiasts. “It’s a 70-year-old technology in most cases, in some cases older, and the parts are brittle and can break,” she said. When digital technology came about, Fitzgerald said, many companies no longer saw the use in putting up with the hassle of keeping analog booths alive, ultimately replacing analog chemistry tanks with instant digital printouts. “In the early digital era, kind of very late ’90s or early 2000s, these major photo booth companies were jumping at the gun to switch out these analog machines and replace them with digital ones,” she said. Some booths were effectively zombified, maintaining their retro look on the exterior but with replaced digital parts inside. Others were trashed entirely and ended up in landfills. “With that, a lot of knowledge of how to service the photo booths died,” Fitzgerald said. Bre Conley, 41, understands the complicated nature of photo booths well. Conley, a former wedding photographer, owns about 50 photo booths, 20 of which operate across seven states while she works to restore and place the rest. “My whole goal was really to get as many booths as I could and put them in places where anybody could use them,” she said. Conley and other enthusiasts have compiled a list of every operating analog photo booth in existence — a tally of about 200. Much like Lazerson and Minton, Conley has run into challenges. Her most unexpected one: finding the right paper. The specific type of paper required for analog photo booths is made in Russia. And when the Russia-Ukraine war began, booth owners weren’t sure how they’d continue to operate. “No shipments from Russia were allowed into the U.S., and so we were cut off from the supply, and a lot of photo booth technicians went under,” Conley said. She wasn’t willing to let the booths go down without a fight. Conley wrote to film labs and scoured the globe for someone willing to make the right paper. After having tested various types, she found a brand that would work but required hand cutting. With a surge in demand for booths and paper, the company now provides precut rolls of its paper. “It’s definitely an endless battle,” she said. But the fight to maintain the old machines is worth it, analog photo booth enthusiasts and owners agree, if only for the unique physical keepsake. “Photo booths capture time and a memory that they can cherish and keep forever,” Conley said. Said Lazerson, “You have a private moment with yourself where you go in with friends or family, and it’s that connectedness that I think people are seeking.”
