- In September, the University of Toronto learned that OpenAI agents had gone rogue on a tool the school uses to shorten web links.
The agents were using the tool to communicate with one another, according to researchers and a university spokesperson.
It's one of many recent examples of unexpected behaviour by AI agents that have rankled researchers and led to calls for a slowdown in the technology's development.

- Hockey Night in Canada is considered a Canadian cultural institution. For almost 75 years, it was broadcast on the CBC, accessible to any Canadian who wanted to tune in. But earlier this year, CBC and Sportsnet, which owns the rights to air NHL games in Canada, ended their partnership.
Now, the CBC is trying to rebuild a new version of the show without the NHL, and people are left wondering what is lost for Canadians when only people who can afford a Sportsnet subscription can access Saturday night NHL games.
Simon Houpt covers sports media and the business of sport for The Globe. He is on the show to explain the big business of broadcasting NHL games in Canada, and what this means for Canadian identity.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lit up pad 40 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla., and then ascended rapidly into cloudy skies. About eight minutes later, the rocket's reusable booster reappeared over the launch area to make its planned descent.
Col. Kutryk is making his first trip to orbit. Once he arrives at the station for his six-month mission, he is set to become the fourth Canadian astronaut to undertake a long-duration mission on the orbiting laboratory.

- A proposed pipeline from Alberta to the West Coast has been designated a project of national interest, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday, citing the conduit’s economic benefits and how it can boost Canada’s share of global energy markets.
This is the first time that the government has made an official designation of a project of national interest under the Building Canada Act. The legislation is a marquee part of Mr. Carney’s economic agenda.
The next step for the pipeline – now called Pacific Link – is a federal review process, including consultations with stakeholders about the project’s ownership, as well as Indigenous rights and environmental protections.
Ottawa’s Major Projects Office will lead that process with support from the Canada Energy Regulator, federal officials said Thursday. The MPO aims to finalize conditions of the project by Sept. 1, 2027, so the pipeline can be operational by 2032. Its expected price tag is...

- In the trade war between the U.S. and Canada, alcohol has been a bargaining chip on both sides of the border. Early in 2025, Canadian premiers pulled U.S. booze off of Canadian shelves. Then, last month, the Trump administration slapped a 50-per-cent duty on hundreds of Canadian goods including beer, wine, cider and most spirits. Notably, the U.S. cited the provincial shelf bans as justification for their tariffs. And now, the U.S. has implemented an outright ban on that same list of alcohol products.
Jennifer Robson, an associate professor of political management at Carleton University, will explain why booze has become a focal point amid continuing trade tensions.

- Canada has had a system of equalization payments for decades, where money collected by federal income taxes gets distributed to provinces worse off financially than others. It has proven to be controversial in some areas, like Alberta where Premier Danielle Smith has claimed that equalization is a ‘gravy train’ for the rest of Canada through these payments. Members of the Alberta separatist movement have also used this as a reason to push for separation.
But there are a lot of misconceptions about this complicated program. So today, we speak with Patrick Brethour, the Globe’s Editorials editor and former tax and fiscal policy reporter. He’ll demystify the equalization program by explaining how it works, why it’s so controversial, and what he thinks would make it better.

- Albertans will head to the polls in just over a month, on Oct. 19, to vote in a referendum. There are 10 questions, but the one that’s garnering the most attention is the question about separation: do they want to remain in Canada, or hold another referendum on whether to separate? Polling suggests 70 to 75 per cent of Albertans want to stay in Canada, but the federalists are having trouble raising enough money to get the message out.
We’re talking to Marieke Walsh, a senior political reporter for The Globe, and Matthew Scace, a Globe reporter based in Calgary. They’ll break down why the ‘Remain’ side, which has an overwhelming amount of public support, is struggling to translate that into campaign contributions, and what a disorganized campaign could mean for the outcome of the referendum.

- Canada is opening up its four largest airports to private investment, Prime Minister Mark Carney told a gathering of global investors on Tuesday.
Under the airport plan, Carney said the government will retain ownership of the underlying land and assets, but seek private investment through long-term concessions that will bring in new capital and expertise for airport operations and growth.
Canada’s four largest airports are in Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Toronto.
Carney said the capital raised will be invested in infrastructure, including regional airports, and will lead to an improved passenger experience.
Mr. Carney said the money will also help finance new projects, including “a sovereign broadband backbone” that would provide greater domestic control of internet services.
The model being proposed by Carney appears similar to that in Australia, where the government maintains ownership of major airports but si...

- Taylor Lorenz on the dark money buying your social feed

- In early August, OpenAI hosted dozens of lifestyle creators at an upstate New York resort for a weekend they called Summer Club. There was beekeeping. There were farm-to-table dinners. And in between, there were sessions on how to use ChatGPT. The ensuing backlash was swift, especially against the female influencers.
But the money pouring into AI marketing goes far beyond a luxury brand trip. Tech billionaires and super PACs are spending millions to quietly flood your social media feeds. Some have paid influencers for undisclosed deals pushing AI-positive and anti-China messaging. Others have gone so far as to fund radical anti-AI meme accounts that threaten their own CEOs – all to make their critics look unhinged.
Tech and culture journalist Taylor Lorenz has spent more than a decade reporting on online creators. She’s been following the dark money behind these co-ordinated campaigns to buy up digital influence and shift the public debate around AI.

- Canada is seeking a "unique alliance" with the European Union but is not looking to become a member, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Sunday.
Mr. Carney is set to address the European Parliament on Thursday in Strasbourg, France, and pitch Canada as a viable EU partner, as Ottawa attempts to reduce the country’s overwhelming dependence on the United States for everything from manufacturing supply chains to defence products.
Talks are still at the exploratory stages but, without sacrificing autonomy, the outcome could be linking Canada more closely with the EU than any other country, a senior government official told The Globe.
The source said talks include labour and student mobility, plus strengthening academic and research collaboration. The Globe and Mail is not identifying the source because they were not authorized to discuss the progress of the ongoing talks.
On Sunday The Wall Street Journal reported that Mr. Carney had sug...
