Why King Charles III is delivering a rare speech in Canada

King Charles III is coming to Canada to deliver a message: Canada is a sovereign nation distinct from the United States.

U.S. President Donald Trump's repeated suggestion that the U.S. annex its northern neighbor prompted new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to invite Charles to give the speech from the throne on Tuesday where he will lay out the Canadian government's agenda when Parliament reopens.

'Lilo & Stitch,' a sweet but unnecessary live-action remake

The six-legged alien Stitch from "Lilo & Stitch" doesn't choose to be bad. He's just genetically programed that way. Kind of like the way Disney is apparently programmed these days to strip mine its old animated stories to make poor live-action remakes.
