  • A.I. summit in Paris, trading minerals for military support in Ukraine, charging drug dealers with deaths and more
    Feb 8 2025

    Officials from nearly one-hundred countries are meeting in Paris to discuss Artificial Intelligence, including Canada's Prime Minister. The risks associated with A.I. are top of mind -- but so are the opportunities.


    Also: U.S. President Donald Trump is proposing a trade to Ukraine - military support for rare earth resources. We'll look at why Trump wants these resources so badly, and the other countries he's eyeing to get them.


    And: Toxic drugs have killed tens of thousands of Canadians, but drug dealers are rarely charged directly in those deaths. Now there is a push to hand down tough punishments on drug dealers whose customers die from overdoses.


    Plus: Court challenges to Donald Trump's executive orders, Canadian doctors scrutinize the Lucy Letby case, and more.

  • Trudeau on 51st state, Congo atrocities, money laundering in Canada, and more
    Feb 7 2025

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says U.S. President Donald Trump is serious about making Canada the 51st state. Trudeau was speaking to business leaders at the Canada-U.S. Economic Summit. Cabinet minister Steven MacKinnon says the country is united by one thing: pride in being Canadian. The problem – it’s hard to predict what Trump might do next.


    And: The United Nations Human Rights Council is investigating what’s going on in Congo. Rebels have seized the city of Goma and there are reports of spiralling violence, rape and sexual slavery.


    Also: Canada’s promise to take action on illegal fentanyl played a role in getting a month-long reprieve from the tariffs. But a complete crackdown would have to change how Canada deals with money laundering.


    Plus: Kanye West’s hate, Super Bowl security, pipelines and more.

  • Shipping tax, online gambling, whale songs and more
    Feb 6 2025

    The tariffs have been paused, but changes to U.S. import rules are already wreaking havoc with small businesses in Canada. The U.S. will stop allowing goods below a certain amount to be sent duty-free. We talk to companies who say their livelihoods will be dramatically hurt.


    And: Sports fans are expected to wager a record amount on this Sunday's Super Bowl.

    But that parlay could parlay itself into a public health risk. And experts want governments to do more to mitigate the health harms from gambling.


    Also: Scientists have long known that whales have their own language. Researchers now say it is structured very much like human language – and the way they learn it is a lot like how a toddler learns to speak.


    Plus: Gaza fallout, India deportations, H5N1 in cattle and more.

Canadian take on the world.

I just like the news from a place that is not my home. A different perspective is refreshing.
