Auto workers and politicians react with fury to news carmaker Stellantis plans to move part of its Canadian production to the U.S.. Ontario's premier calls the U.S. president, “a piece of work” for the trade war that the company says is the reason for the move.And: Hamas says it has handed over all the hostage bodies it can easily retrieve. AndIsrael has begun returning the bodies of Palestinians killed in the fighting to health officials in Gaza. But it's also putting pressure on Hamas by refusing — so far — to open a border crossing to allow more humanitarian aid into the territory.Also: Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere jumped by the highest amount on record last year. The United Nations says the increase is so high, it's turbo-charging the Earth's climate, causing more extreme weather.Plus: New premier designate in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada Post strike affects elections, typhoon in Alaska, and more.

This episode dives into the "extreme contradiction" defining the logistics market, analyzing the profound divergence between financial disaster hitting small trucking firms and surprising pricing resilience in key segments. The U.S. trucking sector is flashing bright red distress signals, marked by an elevated rate of Chapter 11 filings in transportation in October's first 2 weeks, which is accelerating the necessary capacity contraction cycle. We unpack the major paradox between the Truckload and Less-Than-Truckload segments, noting that the TL market saw a "September bounce" driven by shippers consolidating loads to leverage low rates, but the overall recovery remains highly uncertain. In stark contrast, the LTL sector continues to flex massive pricing power, setting a new record for its rate-per-pound component in Q3 because carriers are ruthlessly prioritizing yield over volume, as detailed in the report LTL pricing index hits new high in Q3. Globally, trade flows are running hot, with August volumes hitting a new record high, defying expectations, although global container rates continue to soften due to new tonnage and Red Sea diversions, as discussed in Despite U.S. decline, global container traffic sets new record. Adding sharp uncertainty is the escalating trade war, where New China sanctions on South Korean company aiding U.S. shipbuilding shows geopolitical tensions are now directly targeting critical infrastructure like shipyards. We also look north to Canada, where the long-running dispute between Canada Post and the CUPW continues, resulting in operational delays and a fundamental shift in shipper behavior toward private delivery companies, detailed in Canada Post restarts operations, manages delays from rolling strikes. Tune in to understand how this divergence—from catastrophic small fleet failures to unprecedented LTL yield power—will shape carrier strategy as the third-quarter earnings season gets underway.

The government may be shut down, but labor never stops, so neither do we. We open with some headlines at Mauser Packaging Solutions, Hilton Hotels, Canada Post, Microsoft, the nation of Greece, and the LA Times. Home healthcare workers in Michigan won a huge union victory this week, with tens of thousands winning union representation for the first time. Thousands of healthcare workers in California and Hawaii are gearing up for what may be the largest strike at Kaiser Permanente in history this week. The Trump Administration is using its own campaign of terror against farmworkers to justify lowering their wages. Finally, Chicago has become the epicenter of ICE's attack on the working class, and even the Pope is calling for labor unions to step up their defense.

The U.S. Trade Representative has announced new tariffs on Chinese-made container cranes set to go into effect on November 9th, in response to China's use of unfair trade practices in shipping and shipbuilding. These levies, which include 100% tariffs on ship-to-shore container cranes, could stack with existing duties, bringing the total assessed tariffs on some Chinese exports to between 125% and 270%. Canadian mail carriers, represented by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, have switched from a nationwide strike to local rotating strikes. Union officials characterized the move as a compromise allowing the restart of mail and parcel service after a two-week national shutdown, although Canada Post has suspended all service guarantees due to the uncertainty caused by the new rotating actions. Amazon is continuing to significantly build out its footprint by opening its largest fulfillment center ever in the Pacific Northwest and simultaneously constructing a large, automated distribution center in Indiana. The facility in Woodburn, Oregon, covers 3.8 million square feet—four times the size of Portland's International Airport terminals—and Amazon plans to initially hire 3,000 people to run the operation.

Federal Energy Minister Tim Hodgson said Thursday that Alberta will need to 'attract' B.C.'s support if it wants to execute its proposal for an oil pipeline to the West Coast. B.C. Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions Adrian Dix argues that B.C. can't support 'a project that doesn't exist.' Plus, CUPW negotiator Jim Gallant says the postal workers' union is moving to rotating strikes that will let delivery resume because 'our fight is not with the public,' but accuses Ottawa of adding 'poison pills' to its contract negotiations with Canada Post.

Several critical developments are pointing toward a rising cost of uncertainty across the logistics landscape. Analysts are trimming expectations for the back half of the year, with Morgan Stanley significantly cutting earnings per share estimates for most truckload and less-than-truckload carriers due to high shipper uncertainty and continuing industrial contraction.. A major regulatory shift occurred when the U.S. Court of Appeals overturned a key Federal Maritime Commission rule regarding detention and demurrage fees, a ruling analyzed in Demurrage dilemma: court overturns FMC's trucking rule. Specifically, the court found the FMC rule that categorically blocked demurrage charges against motor carriers to be "arbitrary and capricious," potentially opening the door for drayage carriers, who often lack leverage, to be billed for these terminal fees once again. Equipment costs are set to rise after President Trump announced a new 25% tariff on imported medium- and heavy-duty trucks starting November 1st, as reported in Trump to impose 25% tariff on trucks starting Nov. 1. Since the U.S. imports the majority of these trucks from Mexico, the tariff could significantly raise the total cost of ownership for U.S. fleets, potentially slowing down equipment replacement cycles, even if vehicles nominally fall under the USMCA agreement. North of the border, Canada Post is facing a severe labor crisis linked to its deep financial struggles, having incurred losses of $2.7 billion since 2018, leading to a crucial update in Canada Post reduces contract offer to striking workers, warns of job cuts. The postal operator rescinded a $500 to $1,000 signing bonus and is proposing to eliminate lifetime job security for urban employees while aiming to downsize the workforce through attrition, buyouts, and early retirement to facilitate needed modernization.

Guest: Omar Mosleh, Toronto Star reporter The RCMP says it has dismantled one of the largest dark web drug networks in Canadian history, a GTA-based group called RoadRunna that was allegedly shipping about 400 packages of drugs a week across Canada, including through Canada Post. Seven people from Toronto, Brampton and Mississauga are facing charges after officers seized 75 kilograms of cocaine, MDMA, heroin, meth, ketamine and more than 10,000 pills.  But the RoadRunna bust is part of a larger story of how the dark web continues to be a hub for traffickers, how criminals are switching to more sophisticated tools from Bitcoin to Monero and even to encrypted apps like Telegram, and how police are finding cracks in what was once seen as an anonymous online safe haven.Experts warn that while these takedowns are significant, dark web markets rarely stay offline for long.

Fresh off a court appearance, Kyla and Paul cover BC's October 1 snow-tire rule and how routine compliance stops can lawfully lead to mandatory breath demands, then dig into the compounding chaos from ongoing job action: IRP hearings cancelled or pushed without consultation, a court petition filed and served, and a tentative hardship path for temporary licences while the case waits on tribunal reasons. They flag new confusion over where to pay tickets after ICBC reportedly stopped accepting payments, the ripple effects of a Canada Post strike on prohibition notices, licence and insurance renewals, and traffic-court scheduling, plus potential knock-on disruptions from sympathy actions like BC Ferries. To close out spooky season, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week is a real-life “phantom” — the helmeted F1 look-alike finally nabbed in his driveway after years of blasting along Czech highways.

The Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport just opened an 80,000 square foot airside warehouse designed for non-express general cargo, marking the first completed project at the new CVG Global Logistics Park. This dedicated area for cargo activity separates it from passenger traffic to increase efficiency, and it exists alongside the primary U.S. air hubs for Amazon Air and DHL Express.  The Port of Savannah shows resilience against trade war fears, handling 534,037 TEUs in August, which is a 9% year-over-year increase and the third highest volume in its history. Although container volumes were robust, totaling over 1.01 million TEUs fiscal year to date, the Port of Savannah did see a decline of 14.3% year-over-year in autos and machinery shipments.  We discuss the bleak outlook for the still-waging Canada Post battle, as industry analysts suggest mail carriers on strike are actively jeopardizing their own jobs. Analysts argue that the striking carriers' demands prevent Canada Post from undertaking necessary restructuring needed to modernize and win back parcel customers who have already fled to courier companies.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode conducts a deep dive into the current volatility of the freight market, focusing on how agility is the critical metric for survival and success. Using recent ATBS data, we analyze how successful owner-operators are improving their net income, despite rising fixed costs, especially maintenance, by maintaining stability and focusing on calculating their contribution margin. New tariffs on imported heavy-duty trucks are expected to curb new truck orders, leading to a predicted rise in used truck prices due to scarcity. Meanwhile, on global ocean lanes, Asia-to-US West Coast container rates dropped another 15% last week, forcing carriers to blank about 13% of scheduled sailings to stabilize rates amidst ongoing trade risk . Not all global movement is weak, as the Port of Savannah stands out, having handled over 534,000 TEUs in August, due in part to infrastructure adaptation like the new fast-track routing system. We also cover the major policy fight concerning the Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger, which BNSF argues will hurt competition and service, while the merging parties claim it will boost volume with single-line options. In transportation technology, Einride achieved the world's first cabless electric fully autonomous cross-border delivery between Sweden and Norway, proving that autonomous systems can manage complex international regulatory requirements through digital integration. Conversely, the ongoing Canada Post strike is presented as a case study in failing to adapt with workers resisting modernization, leading to private carriers scooping up quickly diverted parcel volumes and the postal service's market share plummeting.

In this lively new episode of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois dive into the latest food, retail, and agriculture headlines before sitting down with a fascinating guest: Bryce Lobreau, Co-Founder of 8 Acres, one of Canada's most innovative organic and grass-fed beef brands.The episode begins with a timely look at Canadians' Thanksgiving dinner costs for 2025. Sylvain shares the results of his annual food price survey, which shows some rare good news: overall holiday meal costs are essentially flat compared to last year, with turkey and fresh produce slightly cheaper. However, canned items like cranberries and pumpkin pie fillings are more expensive due to tariffs on aluminum packaging. The hosts debate changing consumer choices at Thanksgiving, including a move toward lamb and premium proteins.From there, Michael and Sylvain analyze the broader North American food landscape. They unpack the impact of a potential U.S. government shutdown on Canadian agriculture, food inspections, and border trade. The duo also explore the ongoing pistachio recall tied to salmonella contamination, with Sylvain warning consumers to toss any pistachio products they may still have at home. Dairy access in trade negotiations between Canada and the U.S. also comes under scrutiny, with Sylvain highlighting the structural problems in Canada's supply management system. Other hot topics include soybean market disruptions caused by Chinese buying patterns, Canada Post strikes affecting grocery flyers, wildfire impacts on crop yields, and the surprising growth of sushi sales in North American grocery stores.The second half of the show features an in-depth conversation with Bryce Lobreau of 8 Acres. Bryce shares his journey as a third-generation Manitoba farmer who pivoted into organic cattle ranching to survive tough agricultural markets. He and his business partner, Ben Stewart, have built 8Acres into a pioneering national brand, raising over 3,000 head of cattle across certified organic and grass-fed programs. Bryce explains the challenges of scaling in today's cattle market, from soaring calf prices to attracting new ranchers to transition into organics.Listeners will also hear how 8Acres is embracing regenerative agriculture practices, integrating livestock into cropping systems, extending grazing periods, and even experimenting with live-stream farm cameras to build transparency with consumers. Bryce candidly discusses “farmer guilt” around pricing, the importance of branding in Canada's protein sector, and his vision of making organic and grass-fed beef mainstream in Canadian grocery stores over the next decade. Here is the link to buy Sylvain's great Poutine Nation:https://utpdistribution.com/9781487541781/poutine-nation/  The Food Professor #podcast is presented by Caddle.

Canada Post is on strike for the second time in less than a year, after the government authorized significant changes like ending home delivery across the country and closing some post offices. The Crown corporation is on track to lose $1.5 billion this year and the minister in charge of the file said it was “effectively insolvent.” So: what's the future for Canada Post? And as the federal government tightens its belt ahead of next month's federal budget, what does Prime Minister Mark Carney's tough stance on Canada Post signal about what services he'll keep or cut? Co-hosts and political nerds Catherine Cullen, Daniel Thibeault and Jason Markusoff are here to talk about it all.

Are they really going to make any waves in the province? Plus – Why do you need Canada Post?GUEST: Camille Labchuk - animal rights lawyer and the executive director of Animal Justice

The Canadian government announced major reform for Canada Post including the end of most door-to-door delivery and reduced frequency, as part of a turnaround plan for the "insolvent" national carrier. This decision comes as the institution, suffering from an outdated business model and protracted labor disputes, is on track to lose US$1.1 billion this year alone, adding to US$3.6 billion in losses since 2018. Singapore's Seatrium Ltd. has completed the sale of its Texas shipyard at the Port of Brownsville to Karpower Valley LLC for around $50 million. The 240-acre facility supports various offshore and marine engineering projects, and the buyer is an affiliate of Karpowership, the global operator of 50 floating power plants. The Port of San Diego has appointed Matthew Vesby as its new Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), tapping into his more than 20 years of public sector experience, including 14 years with the City of San Diego. Vesby will oversee multiple key areas, including Commissioner Services, Human Resources, and IT departments, and is dedicated to supporting staff success.  Stay current on all the biggest trends in transportation and register now for the F3: Future of Freight Festival, happening October 21-22.
