Episode Details

Canada may have had a quiet weekend for breaking news, but there are still plenty of important stories worth digging into. On today's episode, Scott takes a closer look at several issues that deserve more than just a quick headline.

New polling suggests many Canadians aren't confident Prime Minister Mark Carney can negotiate a strong trade deal with the United States. Scott explains what the numbers could mean. He also weighs in on Doug Ford's transportation controversy, arguing Ontario's premier does need fast, reliable travel—but taxpayers may already own the perfect solution. Plus, why Toronto's Billy Bishop Airport expansion appears to be dead, the Gordie Howe International Bridge finally opens to traffic today, and Florida prepares to study whether the inexpensive generic drug Ivermectin has potential as a cancer treatment. Scott explains why promising generic drugs often struggle to attract major clinical trials, and why the economics of drug development can sometimes shape which treatments get studied.
