  • Canadian hockey heroics, Trump loses tariff ruling, Alberta’s looming referendum, and more
    Feb 20 2026

    The U.S. Supreme Court delivers the President a major blow, ruling he overstepped his authority by using emergency presidential powers to impose sweeping tariffs last year. Today, he replied angrily at the court decision taking swipes at Justices, the plaintiffs in the case, and Canada, while announcing a new 10 per cent global tariff using a different piece of legislation.


    Also: Alberta Premier Danielle Smith lays out plans for a referendum on a series of questions. One is mainly focused on immigration. Smith claims Ottawa’s immigration policies are jeopardizing her province’s finances.


    And: Canada’s hockey men deliver an Olympic semi-final thriller, setting up a potential gold-medal classic with our American rivals.


    Plus: What today’s SCOTUS ruling means for Canada, India’s AI Summit, from catching footballs to pushing bobsleds, and more.

  • Former Prince Andrew arrested, Canadian hockey women win silver, skimo debut, and more
    Feb 19 2026

    He’s gone from prince to prison… at least temporarily. Police arrested the king’s brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for misconduct in public office. They are investigating whether he shared confidential material with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.


    Also: Canada’s women’s hockey team wins silver at the Winter Olympics in a close game. The team went into the final game as underdogs, but were first to score, and held on to the lead for most of regulation time. Then the U.S. managed to tie the game, and scored again in the sudden death overtime, earning them the gold.


    And: It looks unusual… a bit of skiing, a bit of mountain climbing… and it’s a brand new sport for the Olympics. We look at skimo.


    Plus: The first meeting of the Board of Peace, NDP leadership debate, money to fight extortion, and more.

  • MP crosses floor, veterans benefits' outrage, measles & March Break, and more
    Feb 18 2026

    Matt Jeneroux is now a Liberal. The ex-Conservative MP switched sides in a surprise move that puts the Carney government closer to a majority. Jeneroux said last year he was quitting politics to spend more time with family. He’s now a special adviser on economic and security partnerships. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre called Jeneroux’s flip a betrayal to his Edmonton Riverbend voters.


    Also: Canadian military veterans are furious over a proposed federal bill that would retroactively change the way their benefits are calculated. The government’s measure would effectively kill lawsuits alleging it has been underpaying and overcharging vets for decades, saving the federal government millions of dollars. Ottawa argues it can retroactively change laws at any time.


    And: How measles may put a damper on your upcoming March Break plans.


    Plus: Addressing Canada’s labour gaps, Norway’s Olympic golden boy, Bobsledders ‘drag’ their hockey counterparts, and more.
