In this episode, we dive into a wide range of global and local headlines—from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war that rages on despite the largest prisoner exchange to date, to Canada’s tourism industry experiencing a significant year-over-year decline. We touch on President Donald Trump’s escalating conflict with Harvard and his renewed push for tariffs on the EU and smartphone imports, including Apple. Meanwhile, Canada might play a role in the U.S.’s ambitious Golden Globe satellite defence program. We also explore the generational shift away from hustle culture, as younger people prioritize work-life balance. In business news, American startup Slate is making waves as a potential Tesla rival with their “anti-Cybertruck” pitch. Back home, Toronto considers implementing protest “bubble zones” to protect vulnerable areas.

In sports, we celebrate NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, analyze Tyrese Haliburton’s early celebration, highlight Gretzky’s locker room visit with the Dallas Stars, and speculate on the Toronto Maple Leafs’ future.

Wrapping things up, the off-topic segment covers everything from Chris Brown and DJ Khaled to the rise of Labubu Dolls and Kris Jenner’s latest new look. Don’t miss our questions segment at the end.
