We kick off this episode in Washington, where Federal Maritime Commission Chairman Laura DiBella discusses how the agency's priorities have shifted to address a wave of transformational global crises. As detailed in our coverage of how the U.S. is adapting its maritime focus, geopolitical challenges recently led the regulatory body to reject emergency fuel surcharges from ocean carriers to ensure better financial accountability. Next, we head north to examine the massive labor dispute that drove Canada Post to its largest recorded pre-tax loss in history. After strike activity caused a staggering 87% widening of its annual deficit, the government-owned operator is navigating a comprehensive turnaround strategy that includes phasing out residential delivery. Finally, we unpack the intense public scrutiny surrounding one of the world's largest freight brokers after a national television broadcast questioned its safety practices. While the logistics industry awaits a landmark Supreme Court decision regarding legal responsibility for accidents, C.H. Robinson continues to defend its operations by emphasizing its strict reliance on federal regulatory data to vet trucking companies.

Elias Makos is joined by Raphaël Melançon, political analyst for CTV Montreal and CJAD 800, columnist for the Montreal Gazette, and president and founder of Trafalgar Strategies, and Denis Coderre, former mayor of Montreal. The Parti Québécois would steamroll its way to a majority government – if they drop the pledge to hold a referendum. A new Leger poll for Journal de Montréal says the party would get 39% of the vote in that scenario. Christine Fréchette will reveal her cabinet today. On Tout le Monde en parle Sunday, the new premier said that her cabinet will be a mix of change and continuity. Canada Post posted a staggering $1.57 billion loss before tax in 2025 — its worst ever — with losses jumping nearly 87 per cent in just one year.

The Montreal hip-hop trio Muzion were pioneers of the Quebec rap scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

We hear from an investigative journalist who's been covering the story for more than a decade. A Canadian who served in Afghanistan tells us there's no place for the kind of insulting rhetoric the U.S. president is spreading about his country's NATO allies. As Valentino Garavani is laid to rest in Rome, director Matt Tyrnauer tells us about the fashion insight, friction, and friendship...that came with capturing the beloved designer's life and work in the documentary, The Last Emperor. It's a simple enough concept -- but knitters will tell you that it's a game changer. And it exists because of the late Barbara G Walker, who revolutionized the craft. Canada Post honours pioneering Canadian hiphop artists with their own stamps -- including the groundbreaking Michie Mee. She tells us it's a big deal to be on a small rectangle. Science thought a prehistoric kangaroo was just too gigantic to jump -- but now, new science has changed the old science's mind. As It Happens, the Friday Edition.

In this episode of The Daily, we explore the rising cost of rigidity as new regulations and market shifts challenge supply chain agility. We analyze how the FRA caps non-English rail crews at 10-mile border zone to create cross-border capacity bottlenecks and discuss New legislation could upend truck broker margins by imposing steep surcharges on carriers with safety violations. Shippers face a difficult balancing act as Inventory management strategy shifts once again toward leaner models, potentially risking stockouts if demand spikes in 2026. Meanwhile, ocean carriers are adopting split strategies, with significant Ocean rates as the New Year promises a good ‘blanking' for US East Coast, driving up rates while West Coast capacity expands. In the equipment sector, REPOWR's data shows it cost more in ‘25 for a short-term dry van rental despite a weak market, driven largely by tighter network security efforts. Finally, we look at the Canada Post, mail carriers tentatively agree on labor deal, which secures weekend delivery but locks in operational rigidity by rejecting dynamic routing. We also briefly touch on the STB asks comments on ‘completeness' of rail merger application as regulators review the 7,000-page document regarding the UP-NS deal. This regulatory scrutiny adds another layer of complexity to an industry already grappling with rapid structural changes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, we discuss how Canada Post, mail carriers tentatively agree on a labor deal after a difficult period involving strikes and work slowdowns. The proposed five-year contract includes wage increases and the introduction of weekend parcel delivery, though it excludes the corporation's demands for dynamic routing and load leveling. We also examine why new legislation could upend truck broker margins by imposing a 10% surcharge on contracts involving carriers with multiple safety violations. This bill aims to hold brokers directly accountable for carrier safety, a shift that could challenge smaller brokers with data-intensive tracking requirements regarding violation histories. Finally, we look at the announcement that Stord to double e-commerce fulfillment capacity in Kentucky through a $40 million investment in a new facility and advanced automation. This expansion complements the company's recent acquisition of Penny Black, a software solution designed to personalize the post-purchase customer experience through custom packaging inserts.

Long drive ahead of you this week? We've got your labor news ready to go! We start with a ton of headlines checking in with Starbucks, Amazon, Nestle, New Seasons Market, the University of Pennsylvania, Sharp Healthcare, and the nightmare that is the state of Florida. For our full stories this week, we start by checking in on union busting in a place even our jaded listeners might not expect: public libraries. Then we check in on developments with the strike by workers at Canada Post and discuss the ramifications of the end of their nationwide industrial action. Finally, the LA Times released an expose this week showing the stark levels of child exploitation in US agriculture, a scourge which is directly tied to the long history of superexploitation of migrants that US agribusiness fortunes are built on.

Experts at the Trimble Insight conference are forecasting a "significant reduction" in employment levels as rapidly maturing AI tools become cheaper and more efficient than human workers. This technological shift is already translating into measurable gains, with companies like C.H. Robinson openly connecting rising profitability directly to a shrinking workforce. However, achieving the full strategic potential of AI requires clean and comprehensive data, meaning much of the current investment is directed toward routine tasks that don't rely on perfect data, such as calling drivers or getting quotes. Regulation is increasing alongside technological pressure where the Department of Transportation is developing a data-driven severity scoring system to proactively identify and shut down dangerous "chameleon carriers". This federal crackdown will flag patterns of fraud, including shared addresses and recycled phone numbers, while also reflecting heightened attention to operational risks, such as the electrical fire that shut down four terminals at the Port of Los Angeles following an explosion on the ONE Henry Hudson. We also analyze the high-stakes future of North American rail with the proposed Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern merger necessary to compete effectively with the evolving trucking sector. Nevertheless, analysts are highly skeptical of the forecast for 10% volume growth within three years given the rail industry's decade of flat volume, ensuring the Surface Transportation Board will conduct a stringent and independent review. Finally, we touch upon the tentative contract agreement reached between Canada Post and its largest union after two years of contentious talks, which came right after Canada Post reported a record quarterly loss of $385 million. Ultimately, the intense demands from AI and the new government scrutiny raise a critical question for managers across the supply chain: how quickly will clean data become the single most defining competitive advantage in the entire freight ecosystem?
