- For the last year and a half, the talk of construction sites and Bay Street was about a string of violent incidents targeting GFL, the waste management giant, and GIP, its sister construction company. There was suspected arson, vandalism, and executives’ homes were targeted in shootings in both 2024 and this past March. Earlier this month, police made an arrest in connection with the 2024 shootings: Ilan Philosophe, the founder of a competing company, Astro Excavating Inc.
The Globe’s Robyn Doolittle and Tim Kiladze spent the last year and a half reporting on this, including hours speaking with Philosophe before his arrest. Today, they bring us the full story about the shootings, menacing and hostile text messages, and fights over lucrative construction contracts.

- Earlier this year, a report on domestic box office data for 2025 revealed that Canadian films brought in $13.9 million last year. Compared to $23.5-million in 2024, the report painted a distressing picture. But in the last three months, five homegrown films have been breaking box office records. After a sluggish year, Canadian movies are finally having a moment.
Barry Hertz is the Globe’s deputy arts editor and film editor. He joins us today to talk about what filmmakers and distributors are doing to capitalize on a time when Canadians – and even Americans – have more of an appetite for Canadian film, and how this moment could serve as the genesis of a Canadian cinematic renaissance.

Monday’s federal by-elections – a clean sweep for Liberal candidates – plus a steady flow of floor crossings ensure Mark Carney’s government now has a slim majority with 174 seats in the House of Commons.
But how will Carney and the Liberals now use this power? And how will the dynamics in Parliament change?

- Liberal MPs were enthused arriving on Parliament Hill on Tuesday morning, predicting that majority status would help the government move its agenda through the House of Commons.
“It’s a great day to be a Liberal,” Liberal MP Sean Casey said as he arrived at the Commons. “Now we don’t have to put up with the obstruction that comes with a minority.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney predicted the tone of debate in House of Commons committees will improve.
“We’ve had a variety of issues over the course of the parliament where things have taken longer than they necessarily would, where debates have been more performative than actual,” he said.
In terms of government priorities, Mr. Carney said advancing major projects will be a focus. He also said talks with Alberta about options for expanding oil and gas exports are progressing well. #cdnpoli #canada

- Description
- Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a tax break on gas and diesel Tuesday. The move comes the day after he secured a majority in the House of Commons.
The temporary tax break will begin April 20 and remain in place until Sept. 7. The government said it is expected to shave 10 cents per litre from the cost of regular gasoline and reduce the price of diesel by four cents per litre.
The measure is being presented as a response to rising energy prices caused by the conflict in the Middle East, which has dramatically reduced oil exports from the Strait of Hormuz.
Higher energy prices mean higher tax revenue for the federal government. The temporary tax break is expected to cost about $2.4-billion, which the Prime Minister said will be covered by the increased tax revenues. #cdnpoli #gas #canada

The sources are all veteran Liberal organizers, and two are directly involved in reaching out to potential recruits. The Globe is not identifying them as they were not authorized to disclose internal party operations.
MP Marilyn Gladu's decision to leave the Conservatives for the Liberals last week gave the Liberals 171 of 343 seats in the House of Commons, one shy of a majority. Three of the 343 seats are vacant, and the results of Monday's by-elections could tip the Liberals over the edge. #cdnpoli #canada

- The four astronauts aboard Artemis II, including Canadian Jeremy Hansen, have officially returned home.
Their Orion capsule splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego just after 8 p.m. ET on Friday, completing the Artemis II crew’s nearly 1.2-million-kilometre journey.
Getting safely back to Earth was a big milestone to overcome.
While hurtling toward the planet at more than 38,000 kilometres an hour, the spacecraft, named Integrity, had to endure a 13-minute high-speed descent through Earth’s atmosphere.
At about 120,000 metres above the Earth’s surface, the capsule was travelling at approximately 33 times the speed of sound. The crew was expected to experience up to 3.9 Gs in the planned entry profile.
At around 1,800 metres above water, three main parachutes deployed, reducing Integrity’s speed to less than 218 km/h.
The capsule landed at an estimated speed of 27 km/h. #artemisii...

Despite an 11th-hour ceasefire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday, Israel attacked Beirut on Wednesday in a renewed effort to strike at the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group.
Those blasts killed at least 203 people and wounded hundreds more in the deadliest day of the war in Lebanon since the latest conflict began on Feb. 28.
Carney was among the world leaders who signed a statement issued Wednesday calling on all sides to implement a ceasefire, including in Lebanon. That statement was reissued Thursday, with more than 10 additional world leaders adding their names to the statement.

He takes the reins of a political party still reeling from losses in last year’s federal election, which cost them official party status and left them with only seven seats. Another blow came earlier this month, when Nunavut MP Lori Idlout defected to the Liberals. Without a seat in Parliament and overseeing a party with minimal resources, how Lewis will rebuild the party and what it will look like remain big questions.
So today, we’re convening a panel with Campbell Clark, The Globe’s chief political writer, and Robyn Urback, a current affairs columnist for The Globe. They join the show to talk about where Lewis might steer the NDP and what it all means for the party’s future.

- Drake seemingly ended his Junos boycott on Sunday when he made a video appearance for a Nelly Furtado tribute.
The Canadian rapper hasn’t attended the show since he hosted the 2011 ceremony in Toronto. He lost all six of the awards he was nominated for that year.
Drake took a moment in his tribute to rehash how Canadian rapper Shad had won all those awards back in 2011.
“To the Junos, because you are honouring one of my dearest friends tonight, I will spare you,” he said, in what seemed more like self-deprecating humour than true grudge. “Tonight we’ll let it go... This is about Nelly.” #junos #music #drake #canada

- Prediction trading is exploding in popularity, with the industry set to rake in about US$2 billion in revenue this year alone. Companies like Kalshi and Polymarket have popularized the practice, which lets you bet on nearly anything – from Taylor Swift’s marriage status to election outcomes. This past week, Canadian company Wealthsimple cleared hurdles to offer Canadians something similar, but the rules will be different here and a fragmented system makes regulation tricky.
The Globe’s retirement and financial planning reporter Meera Raman broke the Wealthsimple news. She joins us to explain what the market may look like in Canada and the challenges regulators face in protecting investors.

- Can the NDP's new leader turn the tide for Canada's left?

- Description
- The NDP currently holds just six seats after winning a record-low share of the popular vote in the 2025 election and losing Nunavut MP Lori Idlout, who crossed over to the Liberals earlier this month. The party remains far from achieving official status in the House of Commons.
But in his first speech as leader, Avi Lewis, who does not hold a seat in Ottawa, sought to revive hopes for the party, pledging to bring it back to what he referred to as the NDP’s glory days. The Globe’s Stephanie Levitz looks at whether Lewis could revive the NDP’s slumping fortunes. #ndp #NewDemocrat #cdnpoli #canada
