The lore behind East of Eden is insane Elia Kazan directed the iconic 1955 East of Eden movie with James Dean and basically cut Cathy out because 1950s Hollywood couldn't handle her. 70 years later, his granddaughter Zoe Kazan created this show specifically to put Florence Pugh in the center of the story.

#EastOfEden review: Florence Pugh and Hoon Lee's performances, combined with a lush production, make a case for bringing Steinbeck’s enduring tale of free will, original sin and cyclical tragedy into the 21st century. variety.com/2026/tv/reviews/…

After laying off 350 people at Stelco, the CEO of the parent company says: “I bought Stelco based on the premise that Canada and the United States are friends. They were friends, when I closed the deal (in 2024) … they are no longer friends.” #onpoli

NEW: Sources with knowledge of the high-level discussions between Stelco and Ottawa said the federal government “tried everything” to delay the layoffs, including short-term bridge financing, longer-term loans, retrofitting and access to new markets in Canada. “He quite literally said “nope”, we don’t want your help unless it’s a blank cheque to the tune of billions with no conditions,” the source said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive talks. globalnews.ca/news/12082768/… #onpoli #cdnpoli

NEW: In an exclusive interview with Global News, Lourenco Goncalves, the chairman and CEO of Cleveland-Cliffs, said the company’s decision was purely market-driven and that financial incentives could not fix the fundamental issues. “I’m not shutting down, I’m not dismantling,” Goncalves said during a 10-minute phone call. “There’s no market in Canada for the amount of galvanized steel we produce in Canada. We need to export… to the United States.” globalnews.ca/news/12082768/… #onpoli

The front. This is where independence is won. And the path to peace runs through these very labyrinths, these very corridors. And when we say, “Ukraine is holding on,” this resilience begins right here at the front, in command posts like this and at every one of our positions – where Ukraine is – because Ukraine has defenders. Our warriors. I thank you – everyone who is defending our life, our values, Ukraine’s right to exist, and the future of our entire state. I thank everyone who wears a patch on their shoulder, and on whose shoulders rests our independence. With gratitude and respect to all our defenders, we say today: Glory to you! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!
