- First, beef prices went sky-high. Now, the price of chicken is getting more expensive — and Canadian chicken production is struggling to keep up with demand. Between a protein craze driving up demand and a supply crunch affecting producers, the wholesale price of chicken has shot up 12 per cent since May, 2025.
Kate Helmore is The Globe’s agriculture and food policy reporter. She joins us to explain what’s contributing to chicken’s dramatic rise, and when prices might start to level out.

- For decades, Taiwan knew it could count on U.S. support if China were to make good on its vow to unify the self-governed island of 23 million with the mainland.
But under President Donald Trump, that security guarantee is no longer a certainty.
Taiwan’s small, but growing, civilian vanguard does not expect to stop an invasion. Instead, the movement is focused on what it would take for the island to survive the first days of a war, blockade or emergency that disables the systems it depends on.

- When’s the last time going to see a movie was a cultural event? Director Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has people flocking to theatres for its star-studded cast and action-packed storytelling — but also because of the way it was made. The Odyssey is the first full-length feature shot entirely with IMAX film and getting a ticket to see it in ‘the best format’ has sent some Canadians on odysseys of their own.
Today, the Globe’s Deputy Arts Editor and Film Editor, Barry Hertz, is here. He’ll explain how this movie has become such a box-office phenomenon, what IMAX and its Canadian roots has to do with it, and why he thinks it’s the future of filmgoing.

- Canada celebrated the opening of the Gordie Howe bridge on Friday – without the United States.
A Canadian premier, ambassador and a federal minister attended the ceremony, but no U.S. representatives were present. They were disinvited after U.S. President Donald Trump announced 50-per-cent tariffs against Canada.
The ceremony marked the official opening of a bridge between Windsor and Detroit that has been 25 years in the making. It was originally supposed to open in June, but the Trump administration blocked it over a toll-revenue dispute.
The first vehicle will cross the bridge on Monday. Its competitor – the Ambassador Bridge – has been the only bridge to service the intertwined communities for more than 100 years.
The Globe’s Kate Helmore explains the bridge’s stalled opening and the tension it reflects between the two countries.

- Booking a campsite at Canada's provincial and federal parks can feel like the Hunger Games.
You’re ready to book a spot and, poof, within seconds it’s gone.
For years, frustrated campers have speculated on social media about bots snatching coveted sites at popular parks. But evidence of the issue remained scant.
Now, AI could change that.
The Globe’s Erica Alini built an AI bot that can make scheduled, unsupervised reservations for a single user. It would likely beat out most, if not all, fast-clicking humans competing for the same site. And park authorities seem unprepared.
The solution, experts say, may be to move away from a first-come, first-serve system in favour of random draws.

- Protests have rocked Ukraine for days over President Volodymr Zelensky’s wartime leadership reshuffle.
Zelensky fired his former defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov on July 15, triggering mass protests calling for his reinstatement. Fedorov was seen as key to modernizing Ukraine’s military efforts, including using drones.
The president said relations between his defence minister and his top general, Oleksandr Syrskyi, had deteriorated to the point where he was forced to choose between them. Syrskyi has gained notoriety for his adherence to old-fashioned military tactics, including a willingness to sacrifice his soldiers’ lives.
Zelensky eventually bowed to days of public protests by replacing Syrskyi — and offered Fedorov another role in government — but it remains unclear whether that will be enough to end the crisis. #ukraine #zelensky

- Nearly 900 wildfires are burning across Canada, and early estimates suggest Ontario is experiencing its worst wildfire season on record. In Northwest Ontario, more than a dozen communities – most of which are First Nations – have been evacuated, with some people taken to places as far away as Niagara Falls. As fire seasons get worse, Indigenous people are disproportionately affected, but their historical practices of forest management – practices that could improve conditions – had historically been suppressed in much of Canada.
Riley Yesno is an Anishinaabe scholar, writer, and commentator from Eabametoong First Nation, and is a distinguished fellow with the Yellowhead Institute. She joins us to talk about how Indigenous fire practices keep forests healthy, and what happens when the people with the most experience in facing wildfires are also the people who have historically been disempowered from managing them.

- Prime Minister Mark Carney says he and Donald Trump have agreed to intensify trade talks, a day after the U.S. President announced new tariffs for Canada that will be imposed beginning Aug. 19.
Carney told reporters he spoke with Trump on Tuesday.
The 50-per-cent tariffs will not include an exemption for goods trading under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
They will cover US$20-billion worth of products, according to the Office of the United States Trade Representative, roughly 5 per cent of Canadian exports to the U.S.
The purpose is to punish Canada for retaliating against Trump’s previous tariffs on the country, including hefty levies on autos, steel and aluminum.
Trump signalled that more tariffs could be on the way in response to smoke from Canadian wildfires that has entered the U.S., and Ontario Premier Doug Ford urged Carney to hit the U.S. with “dollar-for-dollar” retaliatory tariffs.

The proliferation of AI chatbots added urgency to his new file. Ignored in previous policy cycles, AI chatbots are now embedded in the lives of millions of Canadians. And in the wake of the tragedy at Tumbler Ridge, the risks of these unrelated systems are no longer theoretical.

- British Columbia is "sitting it out" when it comes to Canada's economic growth, says former premier Christy Clark.
Speaking at The Globe's Intersect conference in Vancouver, Clark argued the province has gone from helping drive the national economy to watching from the sidelines in the nearly decade since she left office.

- Description
- Former B.C. premier Christy Clark, who led the province between 2011 and 2017, championed the liquefied natural gas sector during her time in office.
She argued that exporting B.C.’s natural gas to Asian markets would boost the province’s economy and create vital jobs.
But her vision took more than a decade to materialize: B.C.’s first large-scale LNG export facility in Kitimat, B.C., shipped its first cargo in 2025, years after Clark left office.
Speaking at The Globe’s Intersect conference in Vancouver, Clark said she feels vindicated as Canada expands its LNG industry. #lng #britishcolumbia #bcpolitics #cdnpoli

- Dating can be rough, but it seems to be especially bad right now. According to Statistics Canada, in the 1980s, 68 per cent of Canadians aged 25 to 29 were in a relationship. In 2021, that number was 39 per cent.
The Globe’s healthy living reporter – and unintended Carrie Bradshaw – Graham Isador points to a few reasons why dating sucks right now: app fatigue, distrust of technology, and affordability.

- Canadian businesses don’t have an innovation problem – they have a growth funding problem. Small- and medium-sized businesses often find themselves in what’s known as the ‘valley of death’ – the crucial time when a business is ready to grow, but can’t access the funding they need to get to the next level.
Jameson Berkow reports on capital markets for the Globe. He joins the show to talk about why it’s so hard for Canadian startups to access funding they need to grow, and with a Senate report expected soon, what solutions are being considered.

- Canada fell short, even with a valiant performance. After a scoreless first half full of action, Switzerland burst ahead 2-0 in the early going of the second half. But Canada’s Promise David, in the 76th minute, responded.
The Canadians pressed over and over but couldn’t get the goal they needed, up until the last second.
Final score: 2-1 Switzerland.
Wednesday’s loss means Canada advances to the round of 32 as the runner-up in Group B. Instead of playing at home July 2 in Vancouver, the team plays in Los Angeles on Sunday against the second-place finisher in Group A. #fifa #worldcup #vancouver
