The former high school teacher and the eldest son of Pierre Trudeau,
one of Canada’s best-known prime ministers, became Liberal leader in
2013 when the party was also faring badly, and his leadership was seen
abroad as an example of stable, progressive power.

Federal law requires an election be held by October 2025 but with all
opposition parties saying publicly they no longer have confidence in
the governing Liberals, an election is certain when parliament returns
in late March.

Nearly 10 years and one drawn-out resignation later, the picture that
had emerged was far more nuanced, she said. "His legacy, like his
tenure, will likely be seen as a balance of progressive wins,
alongside unfulfilled potential."

Intel unveils Arrow Lake AI chips for gaming laptops at CES 2025

Intel didn't have many other details to share on these chips, other
than the fact that we can expect to see systems featuring them
sometime in the first quarter. That's also when desktops powered by
the Core Ultra 200S chips start shipping. But hey, it's CES, and AMD
almost certainly has its own chip refresh in tow. Intel had to
announce something, otherwise all we'd be talking about is how much
trouble the company is in following the ouster of former CEO Pat
Gelsinger.

The MV7i was made for me. I'm getting ready to launch a podcast in a

setup. With this device, I can plug in the MV7+ to the MV7i via XLR
and do all of the levels and settings in an app. And when I need to
record remotely, all I need to pack up is two microphones and two
cables.

Brisk It's latest AI-infused smart grill only costs $399

Like most smart pellet grills, the Zelos 450 has Wi-Fi connectivity
that allows you to control the grill and monitor progress from
anywhere via your phone. The grill also can smoke as low at 180
degrees Fahrenheit and sear at 500 degrees, or anything in between
like baking and roasting. The Zelos 450 has a simpler design than
Brisk It's Origin series, with a more basic onboard controller and
display than those first two models. This makes sense given the much
lower price tag.

GoPro released the Hero13 in September and it offered a few upgrades.
It comes with a 10 percent bigger battery than its predecessor, which
allows it to capture an hour and a half of 4K video at 30fps. It
should also run longer in extreme temperatures. The action cam offers
a max resolution of 5.3K at 120fps and supports Hybrid Log Gamma.
Plus, it's Bluetooth compatible with AirPods and other wireless
headphones.

The X2S is also compatible with Resideo’s First Alert app, which you

optimization when no one’s home. It’ll also provide readings on
humidity levels inside the home, and offer reminders for when you need
to change air filters. The Honeywell Home X2S Smart Thermostat will be
released this spring in the US and Canada for $80, and you’ll be
able to find it at retail stores like Lowes, Home Depot, Target and

HDMI version 2.2 adds support for bandwidth of up to 96Gbps

That said, while HDMI 2.2 looks like a very useful upgrade to support
higher quality audio and video, don’t try to run out and upgrade all
your gear right away. The HDMI Forums says the official spec will be
released to all HDMI 2.x adopters in the first half 2025, so it will
take some additional time after that for compatible devices to begin

We already know that the company's 2025 OLED evo TV line will pair 4K
resolution with gaming-friendly 165Hz refresh rate. Meanwhile, the new
PF600U packs an HD projector, Bluetooth speaker and LED mood lamp into
something that looks like an old-school oscillating floor fan. On the
audio front, Engadget's Billy Steele already likes the "punchy highs"
he heard during a quick demo of the compact S20A soundbar. And the
newest LG Signature microwave includes a built-in 27-inch touchscreen
display on its door, so your kitchen will never be without a screen.
