• Trump threatens Canada again, Knocking down provincial trade barriers, Invictus games and more
    Feb 9 2025

    In an exclusive Fox News interview, U.S President Donald Trump once again reiterated his threat of making Canada the 51st state. He also made a surprise announcement on Air Force One - saying he'll impose new tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports as early as Monday.


    Also: More and more Canadians say they want to "buy Canadian" and trade with each other - reigniting a movement to break down trade barriers between the provinces. It's also making some Canadians second-guess travel down south.


    And: Athletes from around the world are in B.C. for the 2025 Invictus Games. Prince Harry launched the event 11 years ago to honour injured military and service personnel. But this year, it's also about bridging political divides.


    Plus: Super Bowl Sunday, an investigation into Alberta's health authority, more Palestinians return to northern Gaza, and more.

  • AI 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 AI 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.

  • Gaza shockwaves, Trump Effect in Canada, decoupling the auto industry, and more
    Feb 5 2025

    Donald Trump’s abrupt announcement about taking over Gaza has sent shockwaves across the Middle East and around the world. The White House says his reasons are humanitarian. Palestinians, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt have rejected the idea, and are worried about what it would mean for the West Bank. The far right in Israel is celebrating, but many people on the street think it is unlikely to ever happen.


    And: Trump’s tariff threats are driving the issues for political races here in Canada – pushing Liberal leadership candidates to focus on how to handle them. And the leader of the opposition, Pierre Poilievre, is also pivoting his message – from carbon tax to crime.


    Also: As Canada looks to protect its economy from potential tariffs… one of the industries that could be hardest hit is auto manufacturing. Alexandre Silberman looks at whether there is any way to decouple a deeply integrated industry.


    Plus: Drug trafficking in Canada, Elon Musk’s slashing agenda, Emilia Pérez controversy, and more.

  • French elections, Democrats weigh their options, The Spanish ship coming to Canada
    Jul 7 2024

    A coalition of leftist parties is projected to win the most seats in France's snap election - a surprise turnaround from the predicted surge of the far-right National Rally party. Also: The calls are slowly growing louder - for Joe Biden to drop out of the U.S. presidential race. And so -- some Democrats are talking about the possibility of passing the torch. Plus: A Spanish Galleon ship that sank in Labrador in the 16th century is being recreated - with plans to set sail once again.

  • Canada regroups on tariffs, President Trump says Gazans should resettle elsewhere, how to improve interprovincial trade, and more
    Feb 4 2025

    Pause for effect – Canada is figuring out what to do while the tariff threat from the U.S. is on hold. It’s still a full-court press of lobbying the Trump administration to remove the threat entirely. One of the things Canada is doing – naming a so-called fentanyl czar to combat drug trafficking. Less than one per cent of fentanyl that gets into the U.S. comes from Canada. But the cost of combatting it pales in comparison to the potential economic harm of tariffs.


    And: U.S. president Donald Trump says reconstruction of Gaza will take years, and Palestinians will need to find somewhere else to live and call home. Trump’s comments are on the same day he met with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.


    Also: Another way to mitigate the damage - better interprovincial trade. That could reduce reliance on the U.S. market. It could eventually boost Canada’s GDP by $200 billion. But it won’t be easy – one Nova Scotia medical equipment maker points out it is currently easier to sell products overseas, than to customers in other provinces.


    Plus: China retaliates against U.S. tariffs, ten dead in mass shooting in Sweden, ebola outbreak, and more.
