Trudie Mason is joined by Meeker Guerrier, commentator at Noovo and RDS, and political analyst Karim Boulos. Donald Trump delayed the fifty percent tariff deadline by three days as a pending Canada-US trade deal takes shape. Paul St-Pierre Plamondon pledged to abolish Santé Québec, claiming the agency added massive administrative costs without improving healthcare. OpenAI is launching a specialized version of ChatGPT for teenagers featuring strict content safeguards and parental controls. The growing popularity of Meta smart glasses has sparked fresh privacy concerns over covert public recording. Québon launched a new six percent milk and cream blend designed specifically for desserts, yogurt, and tea.

Trudie Mason hosts Dan Delmar, media strategist, co-founder of TNKR Media, and independent political analyst, and Akil Alleyne, reporter, commentator, and manager of the GemStar Circle of Excellence Scholarship Program. Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette warns she will block a Canada-US trade deal unless supply management and cultural protections are fully preserved. A fresh poll reveals nearly half of Canadians want an immediate federal election once a final trade agreement with Washington is secured.

Trump pulled a TACO moment by pausing the deadline of his latest tariff threats against Canada by three days, and a new US-Canada trade deal may be imminent, according to statements released by US Trade negotiator Jamieson Greer and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Let's review the latest Canada-US trade news today, and ask some questions which remain to be answered.Tune into Episode 500 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for daily news updates.This daily news update was recorded on August 19, 2026.WATCH THIS EPISODE and subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/5fs6oLwdiNc

August 19 is fast approaching, and despite efforts to reach a deal, there is a real possibility that negotiations could collapse altogether. Do Canadian concessions actually reduce threats from Trump, or simply invite more demands? And if Trump agrees to a deal, will he renege later and demand more? Andrew argues that “ragging the puck”—stretching negotiations out as long as possible—may be Canada's best strategy. The discussion also turns to Canada's dairy subsidy and protection system: does protecting domestic dairy producers actually serve Canadian farmers, when it leaves Canadian consumers paying up to twice as much for dairy products?In the second half of the show, Rudyard and Andrew turn to the continuing standoff over the Strait of Hormuz. How long can the crisis last? The United States appears trapped in a conflict it cannot easily walk away from. Iran is now the side issuing demands, while making a mockery of Trump's threats and exposing the limits of American power. The damage isn't just military—it has undermined the credibility of U.S. threats and security guarantees to its allies, which may prove even more consequential.Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.

It's the companion to Gerry's first book, Canadians Heading South for the Winters, and this time it's written for the reverse journey - Canadians coming home after years in the US, and Americans making the move north.Gerry and Laura get into why this move feels deceptively easy (same language, similar culture) when in reality it means untangling two completely different tax systems, the CRA and the IRS. They cover exit tax and the difference between a covered and non-covered expat, why cross-border financial advisors can't legally follow clients across the border, and why DIY moves so often lead to expensive mistakes. Laura also shares her own cross-Canada train trip, and Gerry brings up the Lost Canadians genealogy angle for Americans who may already qualify for Canadian citizenship.What You'll LearnWho The Great Return was written for, and why it applies to Americans moving to Canada tooWhy the CRA and IRS don't line up, even though crossing the border barely feels like leaving homeThe difference between a covered and non-covered expat, and why it matters for exit taxWhy US states like California and Hawaii don't recognize the Canada-US tax treatyWhy your US financial advisor can't legally advise you once you move to CanadaWhat happens tax-wise to Roth contributions, employee stock purchase plans, and pensions after the moveHow the Lost Canadians genealogy path could mean Americans already qualify for citizenshipResources & LinksThe Great Return: Canadian's Guide to Moving Home from the US — letsmovetocanada.caCanadians Heading South for the Winters — snowbirdsheadingsouth.comSnowbirds US DayTracker — snowbirdsusdaytracker.com

Canadian Benefits Coaching is a phenomenal tool we've developed recently with help from world-class US health insurance enrolment firm Daniel Harris and Audrey Engle of BPA (Brian Patten & Associates). Benefits Coaching is simply the practice of sitting down with an employee, one on one, face to face IRL or on video, to help them enrol in their company's group benefits health insurance during open enrolment or key life events like being newly hired, adding dependents, or moving on to retirement. It's also the practice of communicating very clearly and simply to plan members of all stripes. Communications are done 1:1, one-to-many, or broadcast through in person, email, video, SMS, mail, or any medium where it makes things simple and accessible for plan members in English, French or Spanish.We have been building out our Benefits Counsellor practice due to demand from large enterprise cross-border Canada-US employers.As we assembled our team of 30 bilingual advisors / coaches, we were met with one of two reactions from brokers in our network:“You're crazy. I will never do this. This will never work.”Or“This is phenomenal. It is just like how I started out in my career. This is the yin to the yang of AI bots. We need humans talking to humans to explain the complexities of health insurance. And we need teams talking to teams.”AND — plan sponsors of all sizes, especially large ones, have had only One. Singular. Reaction:“This is incredible. You mean you will give me back 60 minutes a week AND you'll give my team of HR managers back 30 minutes a day to take off something on our plate that has been a pain point since the beginning of time?”Yes. Beneplan and BPA will, with permission from the plan sponsor and advisor of record, book 1:1 meetings with every single one of your hundreds or thousands of employees during enrollment, and once a year, to explain the plan and be there for them.Are we going too far? Or are we here to help you — the key consultant on the file — help more Canadian employers? And educate more workers?There is no fee or cost to employers to set this up. Commission is earned by Beneplan, BPA, and the advisor on the sale of extra optional voluntary products that employees may choose to add on at time of purchase. All benefits coaches are licensed and regulated insurance advisors in their respective province of Canada or the US. Special thanks to Matthew Williamson and our advisor network at Insurance Offices of America (IOA) as part of the Navacord group.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-15-261904 PERSIAMichael Bernstam discusses China's "colonial" economic relationship with Russia, demanding natural gas at heavily subsidized domestic rates. Capitalizing on Russian weakness, Beijing insists Russia fund its own pipelines while China signals a shift toward supporting Ukrainian territorial integrity, effectively throwing Putin "under the bus" to pressure the West. (1)Michael Bernstam explores Houthi threats to the Bab-el-Mandeb strait, which could drive oil prices over $100 per barrel by choking global shipping. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone strikes have crippled Russian refining capacity and shipping in the Black Sea, leading to energy rationing, electricity shortages, and potential food crises in Crimea. (2)Bob Zimmerman provides updates on SpaceX's Starship test flight and the FAA's rapid approval process. He details the deployment of version three Starlink satellites, rumors of a massive new Louisiana spaceport, and criticizes a Texaspolitician's "irrational" investigation into Elon Musk's government grants for rural internet access. (3)Bob Zimmerman explains why AI is currently inadequate for counting lunar craters, failing to meet human accuracy standards. He also highlights the discovery of a potential black hole in Omega Centauri, discusses the desolate nature of Mars's Jezero Crater, and notes the mysterious, unexplained "spokes" appearing in Saturn's rings. (4)Steve Yates analyzes the Taiwan People's Party's (TPP) historic visit to mainland China. Originally a pro-identity youth movement, the TPP is now seeking political power through a coalition with the pro-China KMT. This shift complicates Taiwan's political landscape, as the younger demographic overwhelmingly identifies as Taiwanese, not Chinese. (5)Cleo Paskal exposes Chinese cognitive warfare in the Solomon Islands, where identical pro-Beijing propaganda appeared in separate newspapers. She details China's aggressive pressure on Palau, utilizing economic threats, triad activity, and cyberattacks to force the nation to de-recognize Taiwan before an upcoming regional forum in late August. (6)Charles Burton discusses the strained Canada-US relations regarding the Gordie Howe Bridge. Disagreements over ownership and revenue sharing led Donald Trump to claim a "victory" by coercing Canadian concessions. This dispute has fueled hostility in Canada, leading to a boycott of US travel and alcohol imports in Ontario. (7)Charles Burton criticizes the lack of transparency regarding Chinese infiltration in the Canadian government. He argues that Prime Minister Carney's administration prioritizes business interests over national sovereignty, ignoring warnings about espionage and transnational repression while pursuing empty promises of doubled trade from Beijing to counter US tariffs. (8)Evan Ellis reports on the collapse of Cuba's electric grid, marking the third major blackout in nine days. While the island devolves into ruin, the Trump administration weighs military action against potential negotiations with the Castrofamily, as China and Russia provide only minimal, symbolic economic and political support. (9)Evan Ellis details the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela following twin earthquakes. While US Southern Commandprovides tactical aid, the corrupt and inefficient Rodriguez government is unable to respond to massive destruction, including thousands of deaths and ruined infrastructure. The situation highlights the inadequacy of the current Venezuelan regime. (10)Evan Ellis examines political instability in Bolivia involving Evo Morales and the upcoming inauguration of Keiko Fujimori in Peru. He also notes unresolved tensions over the Falkland Islands as Argentina faces Britain in the World Cup, emphasizing Javier Milei's strategic shift toward collaboration with the United States. (11)Evan Ellis analyzes judicial cruelty in Brazil, where Flavio Bolsonaro is barred from visiting his ill father. In El Salvador, President Bukele is seeking an unconstitutional third term. Despite his high approval ratings and security successes, the move raises alarms about the global trend of abandoning democratic constraints. (12)Thaddeus McCotter reflects on the death of Senator Lindsey Graham and the rising global pattern of political violence, including the murder of a UK MP. He also addresses credible Iranian threats to assassinate the US President, suggesting that decapitation strikes against heads of state have become routine. (13)Thaddeus McCotter connects global energy prices to military strategy, noting how Ukrainian drone strikes on Russianrefineries impact domestic affordability. He warns that the Republican party must clarify objectives in Iran and Ukraineto address MAGA base concerns regarding "forever wars" before the upcoming midterm elections. (14)Judy Dempsey discusses the US naval blockade of Iran and European concerns over energy security. She argues that European leaders find Trump's policies unpredictable and emphasizes that the future must be built on transparency, democracy, and accountability to counter the rise of authoritarian models like communist China. (15)Judy Dempsey highlights increasing threats against European politicians, particularly in Germany from the far-right AfD. Despite the current prominence of "strong men," she maintains that authoritarian systems are unsustainable because the human spirit fundamentally requires freedom, which dictatorships cannot provide or permit in the long term.

Season 10 of Disruptors asked one question, in a lot of different ways: does Canada have what it takes—the tools, the ambition and the will—to  compete in the economy being built right now? For the season finale, John Stackhouse took that question to the RBC and Eurasia Group US-Canada Summit, where 500 leaders spent a day debating the most important economic relationship in the world. He came back with two conversations that, together, amount to an answer. Colonel Jeremy Hansen, the first Canadian to travel into deep space, talks about what you see from the Moon, what it taught him about collaboration and self-reliance, and why the Canada-U.S. relationship is worth fighting for. Michael Sabia, Clerk of the Privy Council, discusses the hand Canada holds right now and why this is a moment for ambition, not anxiety. Recorded live. A fitting close to a season built around urgency.

Larry Ostola speaks with Don Abelson about his book History Has Made Us Friends. Separated by the world's longest land border and engaging in over three billion dollars in trade daily, Canada and the United States share security concerns, cultural interests, and a history spanning more than 250 years. Alan Rock, former Canadian ambassador to the United States, has said that this special relationship represents “a bond that is beyond practical. It borders on mystical.” The rise of nativist sentiment, however, has raised concerns over preserving this relationship. History Has Made Us Friends illuminates the nature and dynamics of Canada-US relations, examining their history, attributed meaning, and conceptualization. Contributors consider many angles and perspectives, including the impact of geopolitical change, to determine whether the relationship warrants the moniker “special.” They explore whether shared values and demographic similarities continue to cement the relationship, and if it still matters whether presidents and prime ministers get along. While things look different today from when President Kennedy declared, “What unites us is far greater than what divides us,” History Has Made Us Friends argues that the Canada-US relationship – often narrowly understood or dismissed as a relic of the past – continues to be unique and resilient. Donald E. Abelson is academic director of the Wilson College of Leadership and Civic Engagement and professor of political science at McMaster University.

In this episode, we are joined by Professor John Price (University of Victoria), who leads the Canada–China Focus project. We discuss how Canada–China relations are debated in ways that can intensify anti-Asian racism and Sinophobia, and how Canada–China Focus works to reframe public conversation. We use Price's submission to the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference as a stand-alone case to think through how “security” discourse can produce racialized harm, and we close by reflecting on what Prime Minister Mark Carney's January 2026 visit to Beijing signals for the next phase of Canada–China relations—and what short- and long-term work is needed to sustain anti-racist public awareness alongside serious foreign-policy debate.

Send us Fan MailA stranger walks up holding an old canoe book and says, “You signed this to my dad 35 years ago.” Minutes later, Kevin Callan signs it again for the next generation and the whole Hamilton Adventure Expo suddenly feels like a small world. That's where our livestream chat begins, and it sets the tone for a conversation about how canoe camping stories stick, how outdoor skills get passed along, and why community is the real reason these shows matter.We dig into Kevin's idea of “ultimate canoe routes” and why he opens his talk by saying the best trip is the next one. Then we get specific: Algonquin's Brent Run, a loop around Killarney, Lake Superior's Bustard Islands, Kejimkujik in Nova Scotia, and even Scotland's River Spey. If you're looking for canoe route inspiration, paddling trip planning ideas, or just a reminder that repeat trips can still feel brand new, this one delivers.We also go behind the scenes on outdoor writing and Canadian publishing. Kevin shares what it's like to hit 20 books, how rewarding it is when kids show up already excited about what they learned, and how printing and shipping across the Canada US border can turn sales into losses overnight. We talk honest numbers on royalties, why self-publishing can make sense, and the simple advice that matters most: write the book first.If you enjoy real talk about paddling, camping, and making a life around the outdoors, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves canoe trips, and leave a review so more Canadian campers can find the show.https://kevincallan.com/https://www.youtube.com/c/KCHappyCamperhttps://www.facebook.com/kevin.callan.311/https://www.instagram.com/kchappycamper/Support the showCONNECT WITH US AT SUPER GOOD CAMPING:Support the podcast & buy super cool SWAG: https://store.skgroupinc.com/super_good_camping/shop/homeEMAIL: hi@supergoodcamping.comWEBSITE: www.supergoodcamping.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFDJbFJyJ5Y-NHhFseENsQINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/super_good_camping/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/SuperGoodCampinFACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuperGoodCamping/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@supergoodcampingSupport the show

Lumber prices are holding at $5.23 but don't get too comfortable — 2x4 #2 is getting scarce and construction input costs are up nearly 5% year over year, with crude petroleum doing the most damage (Natalie's paying $148 to fill her diesel tank, which is its own kind of tragedy). The Montreal Wood Convention drew a big crowd with Canada-US tariffs as the unofficial theme, Mirax is firing up the former Errington Cedar sawmill in a rare piece of good news for the Pacific Northwest, and Goodfellow posted a Q1 net loss blaming a cold winter and high household debt. It was also a banner week for COOs — three promotions, one truly excellent headshot. Chelsea closes with a genuine ask for the North American Forest Foundation, which has 1,300 schools on a waitlist for lumber education kits and needs the industry to show up. Mortgage rates dipped to 6.3%, dopamine detoxes are being planned, and a Tesla met a tree on a country road. Standard Friday. If you got something out of this episode, subscribe so you never miss a week of lumber news, light chaos, and the occasional unsolicited life update.

Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, we dive deep into the unfolding geopolitical crisis as the US blockades the Strait of Hormuz and Iran threatens retaliation, sending shockwaves through global energy markets. Speaker A and Speaker B unpack the diplomatic breakdowns, escalating military tactics, and what these mean for global oil supply and prices. The episode expands into the shifting alliances of America's longtime partners, with nations like Spain and Canada reorienting toward China, signaling possible realignments in the world order. Beyond geopolitics, we unravel the economic repercussions hitting everyday Americans, from inflation to the growing wealth gap, and discuss the rising social unrest—from warehouse burnings to violent attacks on business leaders—that many now argue are signs of a class uprising. Speaker A and Speaker B confront the roots of economic hardship, debating redistribution versus growth, government deficits, and the looming threat of mass violence if structural reforms aren't enacted. Expect candid analysis, passionate debate, and critical questions about the future of America and the world, as we explore how emotional responses, social media, and political policies are shaping the next era. Buckle up for a timely, unfiltered look at the intersection of war, economics, and social upheaval—there's much more ahead on Impact Theory. What's up, everybody?

He's done it again: Prime Minister Mark Carney has convinced yet another Conservative to join his Liberal government. This time, it's Sarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong MP Marilyn Gladu, who previously said she was "personally pro-life" and opposed a Liberal bill to ban conversion therapy. She's now recanting those positions as Carney insists Liberal values are unchanged.How does it work when the Liberals try to cajole a Tory to join them? Catherine Cullen sits down with the first Conservative MP who made the leap to the Liberals, Chris d'Entremont, and Kody Blois, one of the Liberals who wooed him to cross the floor, to find out how it happens. Then, poll analyst Philippe Fournier lays the ground for Monday's byelections, when Carney is expected to cement his majority in Parliament. And as the Liberals hold their policy convention in Montreal, Hill watchers Joël-Denis Bellavance and Nick Taylor-Vaisey discuss the dramatic week in Canadian politics and what Gladu's departure means for her former leader, Pierre Poilievre. Plus, this week US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Canada-US trade negotiations could stretch past the July 1st deadline, and that there were “unresolved issues” with Canada. One of those irritants is the new Online Streaming Act, designed to make big streamers like Netflix and Disney pay to fund Canadian content the way that broadcasters do. CBC's Jennifer Chevalier explores whether the Online Streaming Act is worth fighting for – in the face of yet more tariff threats.This episode features the voices of:Chris d'Entremont, Liberal MP for Acadie—AnnapolisKody Blois, Liberal MP for Kings—HantsPhilippe Fournier, editor-in-chief at 338 CanadaJoël-Denis Bellavance, Ottawa bureau chief for La PresseNick Taylor-Vaisey, Ottawa bureau chief for PoliticoReynolds Mastin, President and CEO of the Canadian Media Producers AssociationCarla de Jong, Head of Co-Production and International Partnerships at Sinking Ship EntertainmentAndrew Cash, CEO of the Canadian Independent Music Association and former NDP MPSandra Aubé, Liberal strategistVass Bednar, Managing Director of the Canadian Shield InstituteMichael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and e-Commerce Law at the University in Ottawa

The scramble for CUSMA has begun. Lobbyists are lobbying. Negotiators are negotiating. And, while that's all kicking off, there's another less visible channel of diplomacy.

Dr. Donald L. Smith is the Distinguished James McGill Professor in the Department of Plant Science at McGill University. He is also CEO of BioFuelNet Canada, Head of Biomass Canada, and Head of the McGill Network for Innovation on Biofuels and Bioproduct. Don's research examines relationships between plants and the microbes that live in association with them, particularly in the roots. He and his collaborators have discovered evidence of signaling between plants and microbes, including microbial signaling that causes plants to grow better. They also uncovered that plants respond much more strongly to signals in the presence of drought or cold stress. Now they are expanding their investigations to examine a wide range of plant-associated microbes to better understand the signals they send and how they may impact plant health and resilience. Outside of the lab, Don loves to unwind and recharge by going on walks and reading great novels. He is also an avid traveler who enjoys blending work with trips to new places whenever possible, turning conferences and collaborations into opportunities to explore the world. He received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Acadia University and his PhD from the University of Guelph. Afterwards, he worked as an Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Postdoctoral Fellow at Agriculture Canada before joining the faculty at McGill University in 1985. Over the course of his career, Don has received many awards and honors, including, the Clean50 award for contributions to sustainable development and clean capitalism in Canada and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, in this case for significant contributions to intelligent agriculture . He is also a Fellow of the Canadian Society of Agronomy, and he served as a Member of the Canada-US think tank on climate change and agriculture in North Eastern North America. In our interview, Don shares more about his life and science.
