How do you recommend a porn theater? Steve Koltai, owner of Montreal's historic Cinéma L'Amour, might start by telling you to watch it on your phone. "You want to watch the newest movie out there? Watch it on your cell phone. That's not my business anymore," he told IndieWire. "My business is giving you social interaction, fulfilling a fantasy. "That makes suggesting Koltai's establishment for a movie outing a bit more complicated than your typical midnight flick. Pitch a little trip to Cinéma L'Amour, and there's instantly a question of intent. Are you appreciating its crimson interior and risky atmosphere from afar — or suggesting an immersive experience that warrants more discussion with a… partner? (Priest?) Hell, even an overeager endorsement of its gift shop can invite some very private questions around the city. "I'd say a majority of the people that buy our merchandise have never been here," a Cinéma L'Amour tour guide told IndieWire this past summer, amid the 30th annual Fantasia International Film Festival. "But they love the fashion part. " Dakota Johnson has been photographed rocking the porn theater's merchandise.

Class Action in Rough Halifax Plane Landing Certified in Supreme Court - VOCM

The Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador has certified a class action on behalf of passengers on board Air Canada Flight AC 2259 which landed hard at Halifax in December of 2025 after the plane’s landing gear collapsed. The flight had taken off from St. John’s International earlier that evening, and officials at YYT later confirmed that debris was found on one of its runways after the flight took off. They wouldn’t say at the time whether the discovery was related to the incident at Halifax. The class action names Air Canada, Provincial Aerospace Ltd, St. John’s International Airport Authority and the Halifax International Airport Authority, all of whom have consented to certification. Stephen Barnes of Bob Buckingham Law says they want to understand what went wrong that night and make sure that passengers have an opportunity to be fairly compensated for what they went through. The case will examine whether the defendants met their responsibilities for aircraft safety, runway safety and emergency response, and whether any failures caused injury or loss to passengers.
