Your province, done properly. Local news now follows the province you chose at setup, and the browse screen shows topics rather than places - your own region's stories are already in your feed. Notifications that land where they should. Tapping a story opens that story's card, not a half-open brief. Also fixed: the Territories are named correctly in both languages, category counts match what the feed will actually show you, and the share button matches the bookmark.
