Good News Tuesday rounds up the stuff worth knowing about, starting with a real shift for anyone who has ever sat in a passport office watching a number that never seems to move. Online renewals are expanding this year, though not without some very Canadian bureaucratic catches along the way.

 

From there it covers an air conditioner that has been running strong since 1974, a partial solar eclipse visible from Montreal, and the birth of an endangered pygmy hippo at the Toronto Zoo. If you need a reason to believe the week is going fine, this is a solid five minutes of it.
