À l’occasion de sa revue de presse, mercredi, Paul Arcand aborde les nombreuses arnaques qu’on reçoit par courriel ou par messages ainsi que les fausses nouvelles qui circulent sur les réseaux sociaux. Des dizaines d’entrepreneurs en déneigement ont notamment dénoncé au Journal de Montréal être victimes de fraudeurs qui envoient de fausses factures de retard de paiement à leurs clients. Pendant ce temps, une enquête de Radio-Canada démontre que les Canadiens de Montréal sont une cible des malfaiteurs alors que des centaines de fausses nouvelles concernant des joueurs du Tricolore ont été publiées sur Facebook au cours des derniers mois. Celles-ci contiennent de fausses informations concernant la vie personnelle ou professionnelle des athlètes et cherchent à générer des clics pour engranger des revenus publicitaires, ce qui fonctionne. Autres sujets abordés Des millions de cancers pourraient être évités, selon des experts; Les couche-tard mettent leur santé en péril; Le mystère des nids-de-poule; Les coûts d’un chantier informatique à Ottawa explosent; Rentrée parlementaire à Québec: qu’est-ce qui a retenu l’attention?

L'entreprise québécoise Couche-Tard devra s'expliquer devant les tribunaux américains à la suite d'une histoire de fraude liée aux guichets automatiques de cryptomonnaie Bitcoin Depot qui se trouvent dans ses commerces. Circle K, la version américaine de Couche-Tard, se fait notamment reprocher de ne pas en avoir fait assez pour prévenir et protéger sa clientèle. Déjà connue pour ses tactiques frauduleuses, l'entreprise Bitcoin Depot, qui possède une entente avec Circle K, vise principalement les personnes âgées.

After nearly a year of getting ghosted by 7-Eleven, Canada's convenience store king has gotten the message that it's time to start seeing other people. Flying saucer research is no longer just the domain of the tin-foil hat crowd, as the federal government could soon be watching the skies.

From the BBC World Service: The Canadian firm Couche-Tard, best known for Circle K, is walking away from a $47 billion bid to buy Japan's Seven & i, the parent company of 7-Eleven. Couche-Tard says it faced a “calculated campaign of obfuscation and delay” from the Japanese side. Then, Americans are firing up their grills this summer, but they're getting singed by the cost of beef. Prices continue to rise. We find out why.

In this episode, we dig into a busy week of earnings from three very different businesses navigating challenging environments. We start with Couche-Tard, where modest merchandise growth in Canada and Europe couldn’t offset softness in the U.S. and fuel sales. Next, we check in on Blackberry, which posted its first profit in three years while questions about the future of the company still remain front and centre. Lastly, we break down Nike’s rough Q4. Revenue and earnings are way down, margins are getting crushed, and inventory problems persist. But there are a few signs of sequential improvement.

It's the Friday news roundup! We're looking at both national political conventions to see how Pennsylvanians talked about local issues and celebrating the golden anniversary of an iconic Pittsburgh landmark. Plus, Covid cases are on the rise, and Giant Eagle is dropping GetGo — but another bird is swooping in. We always cite our sources: Giant Eagle is dropping GetGo but the new owners, Couche-Tard, will keep the myPerks loyalty program. Covid cases are on the rise in Pgh and elsewhere, and the new vaccine isn't ready yet. The CDC tracks Covid levels in wastewater, and so does the state, which has a county by county dashboard.  Only about a quarter of Allegheny County residents got the last Covid vaccine. The stakes are especially high for Allegheny County because respiratory illnesses don't play well with poor air quality. A bunch of PA and Pgh folks spoke at their respective party conventions, including organizer Erin Koper and Senate candidate Dave McCormick at the RNC and Lt. Gov. Austin Davis and Gov. Josh Shapiro at the DNC. At the RNC, Koper talked about Pittsburgh police staffing levels, which are rising, and homicides, which have fallen since the year she cited on stage. Homicides rose in 2022 all over the nation. The Democratic roll call doubled as a dance party, featuring both “Motownphilly” and “Black and Yellow” for Pennsylvania. Aliquippa Mayor Dwan Walker, who welcomed VP candidate Tim Walz to talk to the Quips football team last week, gave the first remarks. Point State Park and our enormous fountain are celebrating their combined 50th birthdays. We talk about some of their most fun facts in this week's news quiz. City Paper has a great deep dive into its history, too. Nurses at West Penn Hospital authorized a labor strike this week, and striking workers at the Post-Gazette are nearing two years off the job. The PSO is on its European tour. They'll be back in Pittsburgh to open their new season in September. Besides baton diplomacy, there's a lot of other ways we foster connections with other countries.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: After the home town RINO whiner, Rep. Glenn Rogers, was defeated in the Republican Primary this year, his Palo Pinto County commissioners court pals passed a slate of “electioneering regulations” designed to restrict active conservative opposition in the county. Conservatives sued and the courthouse kings got an early win in U.S. District Court but now the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has handed the county a big loss, for now:“For the reasons herein, we conclude that the district court erred in denying Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction. We thus VACATE the district court's judgment and order, GRANT a preliminary injunction of the Regulations in their entirety, and REMAND for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”The 15-page order is very much worth reading for those involved in political campaigns and activism: https://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/unpub/24/24-10432.0.pdfOur Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.A very long story with a grabbing headline that actually doesn't present much of anything new: Texas GOP making inroads with Latino voters in big cities.In a story that should remind that simply passing a law mandating things isn't often a full solution when it comes to results: Houston ISD vows to repair automated external defibrillators that are not working after student's death.

In this episode of the Canadian Investor Podcast, we go over General Mills' Q4 results. Despite being a consumer staple company with brands like Cheerios, Betty Crocker, and Häagen-Dazs, the company is facing some challenges due to consumers opting for cheaper alternatives. Next, we turn our attention to Alimentation Couche-Tard. Reporting its second consecutive quarter of soft earnings, Couche-Tard saw revenue beat expectations but profits were below what bay street was expecting. We'll explore the factors contributing to their 32% year-over-year decline in earnings, including challenges in fuel margins and consumer behavior shifts in Canada. We also answer some listeners' questions about investing when markets are at all time highs, the best methods for currency conversion, and alternative fixed income investments.  Tickers of Stocks & ETF discussed: ATD.TO, GIS, XAW.TO, ITOT, DLR.TO, DLR-U.TO, HSAV.TO, CASH.TO, ZMMK.TO Check out our portfolio by going to Jointci.com Our Website Canadian Investor Podcast Network Twitter: @cdn_investing Simon's twitter: @Fiat_Iceberg Braden's twitter: @BradoCapital Dan's Twitter: @stocktrades_ca Want to learn more about Real Estate Investing?
