  • Westjet deal deadline looms, Emancipation Day, Eurovision performers give their advice to Canada's hopefuls, and more.
    Aug 1 2026

    It's getting down to the wire for WestJet and the union representing thousands of its flight attendants. They still don't have a new contract, and the airline has cancelled nearly 200 flights. A lockout or a strike could start as early as tomorrow morning. Leaving passengers frustrated on one of the busiest summer travel weekends.


    Also: Communities across Canada are marking Emancipation Day. It's the anniversary of the Slavery Abolition Act coming into effect across the British Empire in 1834, and honours the resilience of Black communities and the turning point in the struggle to end slavery. But the battle to have the day officially recognized took a long time to see success.


    And: With performers from dozens of countries - and tens of millions of fans tuning in every year - there aren't many stages bigger than the Eurovision Song Contest. And next year, Canada will be taking part for the first time. Though Canadians have competed before on behalf of other countries. You'll hear from some of them to get a peek behind the curtain of what its like.


    Plus: B.C. wildfires, Fake food circulating in India, How wildfires are impacting wineries, and more.

  • WestJet uncertainty, migrants return from Ceuta, sports equipment libraries, and more
    Jul 31 2026

    WestJet has started parking its jets. There’s been no strike or lockout, but also still no deal. Reporter Nisha Patel has the story of how Canadians are preparing for their travel to be disrupted.


    Also: Spanish officials say most of the tens of thousands of migrants who crossed into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta have returned to Morocco. But thousands are still there, and some of Spain’s European neighbours say the country should face consequences.


    And: Imagine walking up to a park locker, tapping your phone, and grabbing a soccer ball or frisbee — for free. The cost of equipment is a barrier to getting kids into sports. But there are options.


    Plus: Questions about Gaza agreement, Haitians in Canada worry for relatives in the U.S., Anthropic AI hacking, and more.

    Jul 30 2026

    There could be trouble in the sky for Canadian travellers. Westjet and its cabin crew union are involved in a labour dispute that could begin to ground some planes as early as Friday.


    Also: FIFA may run the World Cup... but European soccer leaders say they control the players. Dozens of national associations are threatening a boycott of FIFA over a controversial new business deal. UEFA says “some things are simply too important to sell.”


    And: The triple threat for Canadian farmers — the weather, supply chain disruptions, and new U.S. tariffs. The end result for farmers in western Canada? The most expensive crop in years.


    Plus: Iran U.S. strikes, Ontario wildfires, Ottawa opens a strategic exports office, and more.
