  • Should a childhood measles vaccination be mandatory?
    2025/06/15

    In 1998, Canada achieved what health officials call "measles elimination status" but now the country could lose that designation. Ontario is reporting more measles cases each week than it once saw over an entire decade. And just earlier this month Ontario's Ministry of Health has announced the first recorded death of a measles patient. Alberta is also experiencing its worst measles outbreak since the mid 90s. And according to the Pan American Health Organization, Canada has more cases than any other country in the Americas.

    At the same time, vaccine hesitancy has grown nationally along with a drop in measles immunization rates which is prompting some to call for mandatory childhood measles vaccination. An Angus Reid poll conducted last month found that 69% of Canadians agreed that vaccinations should be mandatory for kids.

    Closing arguments in the sex assault trial for 5 former world junior hockey players concluded on Friday. All five accused men have pleaded not guilty to alleged sexual assaults at a London, Ontario hotel in June 2018.

  • Are you falling behind because everybody else is using AI to get ahead?
    2025/06/08

    There’s no question artificial intelligence is catapulting human capability to new heights, if it's used properly and ethically, and there’s the question. University students are using it more than ever before, according to some surveys more than 80%, sometimes to help them with their work, and sometimes to do it for them. And that brings us to the workplace where AI use can be a source of competitive advantage or unethical and even harmful outcomes without appropriate human intervention.


    Our question: Are you falling behind because everybody else is using AI to get ahead? Is AI creating a generation of cheaters or achievers?

  • Who should decide what books are too explicit for schools?
    2025/06/08

    Alberta plans to implement new rules for "age-appropriate" books in school libraries after parent groups flagged four books, saying they contained sexually explicit content not suitable for younger readers. But critics say the review is unfairly targeting 2SLGBTQ+ books and promoting intolerance toward those communities in the process


    Our question: Who should decide what books are too explicit for schools? At what point does restricting graphic content turn into censorship?

  • With wildfires and a trade war with the US, does Canada need another pipeline?
    2025/06/01

    Your perspective on oil and gas pipelines may have changed over the last few months. When Donald Trump launched his trade war with Canada, protecting Canadian sovereignty quickly became a hot topic, and with that, concerns about energy independence. But the wildfires in Canada right now are a reminder of some of the other considerations when it comes to our pipeline policies. Most scientists say the connection is clear between an increase in intense wildfires and climate change. So how do you balance dealing the economic threats from an unpredictable U.S. president and the dangers of the climate crisis? Does Canada need another pipeline?

  • What questions do you have about wildfire preparedness and response?
    2025/06/01

    The size and scale of this year's wildfire season already lead to two states of emergency in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, leaving thousands of evacuees scrambling to leave their homes and seek shelter. In Manitoba, Pukatawagan First Nation is boxed in by wildfire, with planes and helicopters scrambling to get everyone out, and the entire city of Flin Flon has just been cleared, leaving fire crews to fight the out of control wildfire. There are nearly 200 wildfires burning across Canada right noW, and the forecast for hot, dry weather in many parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan are not looking promising.

  • What’s preventing you from buying Canadian?
    2025/05/25

    "Elbows up", "Not for Sale", "Buy Canadian", there have been a handful of slogans that have emerged from the trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump. And "Buy Canadian" is more than a slogan, it's a goal. But as the months have gone by are you still buying Canadian? Labels are sometimes confusing, product of Canada, made in Canada, proudly Canadian, and if you're looking for a washer and dryer, or TV, good luck.
