Some stories set the world on fire. And these ones are the most popular online stories from the past seven days, clicked on by Sun readers like you.
Here are our top stories:
GoFundMe for Burger King employee with perfect attendance soars past $160K
It’s nice to see hard work paying off.
And that’s putting it mildly for Burger King employee Kevin Ford, who received a mediocre goodie bag for 27 solid years of service, never missing a day of work, and instead, was properly rewarded by the Internet.
The GoFundMe campaign for Ford has raised more than $288,000.
The 60-year-old may want to think about retiring early. But considering what a hard worker he is, it wouldn’t be surprising if he rode it out for 27 more years.
WWE’s first female ref claims Vince McMahon raped her
Rita Chatterton, the first female referee in the WWE, claims she was raped by Vince McMahon in the 80s, Brad Hunter reported.
He promised her money and fame and what she allegedly got instead was McMahon taking his junk out in the back of a limo, then allegedly assaulting her.

This comes in the midst of another scandal earlier this month, when McMahon dished out millions to a WWE employee with whom he allegedly had an affair.
GUNTER: The latest attempt to cancel Canada Day? Renaming it ‘New Day’
What if by July 1, 2023, Canada Day will have been changed to New Day in every province?
Well, that’s how those in the Forks in Winnipeg, have celebrated the last two Canada, er, New Days where instead of fireworks it was a day devoted to reflection, inclusion and “fun for everyone,” following the discovery of unmarked graves on the grounds of former residential schools.
The family of Nicole Chan, a former Vancouver cop who took her own life in 2019 after intimate relationships with senior officers, is suing the city, the B.C. government, the Vancouver Police Department, board and union, and the officers.
Chan’s sister, Jenn Chan, told Postmedia’s Joseph Ruttle that her sister complained to the police chief in 2017 about inappropriate relationships with the two senior officers.

She was put on stress leave, and an internal investigation into the two other officers was launched.
Jenn Chan said she believed both officers played a role in her sister’s deteriorating mental state, sense of self and self-worth, which ultimately led to her taking her own life.
Tamara Lich was arrested this past week in Medicine Hat, Alta., for violating her bail conditions.
That follows her February arrest in which she was charged with mischief, obstructing police, counselling others to commit mischief and intimidation.
What was her latest infraction?
According to Brian Lilley, it depends on who you ask. Police have either arrested her for being critical of the government – not something that should get anyone arrested – or for being photographed at an event in Toronto with another convoy organizer.
Either way, Lich continues to be a victim of a government intent on making justice political. But, sure, continue to release hardened criminals and violent repeat offenders on bail.
