Today marks the start of the 2025 tax filing season and one tax specialist says there's reason for you to be excited.

There's a verdict in a landmark trial about the addictiveness of social media. A jury in Los Angeles found that Meta – which owns Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp – as well as Google, intentionally built addictive social media platforms. Canadian investigators are now on the ground at LaGuardia Airport in New York. The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) says three investigators are supporting their American counterparts, the NTSB, in determining what went wrong in the Sunday crash of an Air Canada flight that killed the two Canadian pilots. And, Prime Minister Mark Carney says he's very disappointed Air Canada’s CEO chose to only speak English in a video statement he gave after the two Canadian pilots died in the fatal Sunday collision. Carney is not alone, though. There is a growing backlash, especially in Quebec. The flight originated in Montreal, and one of the dead pilots is from Quebec. Over in Iran, state broadcasters say Tehran has rejected Washington's new 15-point peace plan aimed at ending the war started by the U.S. and Israel four weeks ago. Instead, Iran says it will end the war when it decides to – first demanding war damages and reparations.
