By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Toronto, ON - The electric vehicle revolution in Canada took a big step forward today as Samantha Mesrobian, one of the first Toronto customers, received the highly anticipated Bolt EV. Trading her Land Rover LR2 SUV for one of the first three Chevrolet Bolt EVs to be made available to Canada, Mesrobian cited a need to try something different 

"I drive five or six kilometers a day to the GO Train station, but my mother lives outside of Guelph and my son in in school in Ottawa," Mesrobian said when asked what her commute is like.

Samsung Galaxy S8 might get teased at MWC 2017, sports new home button location

Rumours have been swirling for a while now that Samsung planned to nix the home button for its upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S8. That seems to be partially true—at least according to leaks of the smartphone. It’s being reported that while Samsung won’t launch the phone at MWC 2017 this month, they will preview the device ahead of its official launch.

And a new render of the device shows that the phone will sport a home button but it won’t be where you once saw it. Taking cues from LG, the Samsung Galaxy S8 will supposedly have the home button at the rear of the device but instead of under the camera sensor, it’ll be located to the right of the device. The reason is this is supposedly a natural position for the right index finger to reach. However, it seems they didn’t take into account left-handed users. Well, we don’t have to wait too long to get a first look at the actual phone. What do you think about this rumoured design decision?
