From bug funerals in Japan to workplace ghosting laws in Canada, and a post-holiday reset led by women in Ireland, on What's Trending today, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh, and Alexandra Parada start with a bizarre-but-thought-provoking story out of Japan, where an insecticide company has held memorial services for the bugs it’s killed for over 40 years. Then, we zoom into the job hunt, where Ontario has cracked down on employer ghosting, legally forcing companies to respond to interviewees. And finally, we lighten things up with Nollaig na mBan, or Women’s Christmas, an Irish tradition gaining global traction that encourages women to rest, recharge and reclaim some calm after the festive chaos.
