    May 1 2024

    If you bought anything online recently, there's a good chance you shopped on Amazon. The tech giant's success has made it synonymous with e-commerce. But it's also long faced scrutiny over its business practices. Now, Amazon is facing a lawsuit from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, accusing it of illegally protecting a monopoly over online retail. The company denies the allegations. Wall Street Journal reporter Dana Mattioli has been covering Amazon for years. Piya Chattopadhyay speaks with her about how Amazon became the behemoth it is today, as explored in her book The Everything War: Amazon's Ruthless Quest to Own Everything and Remake Corporate Power.

  • Tired of truces, Roméo Dallaire appeals for 'lasting peace'
    Apr 24 2024

    This month marks 30 years since the genocide in Rwanda led to the deaths of more than 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus in one of the worst massacres of the 20th century. But even though Rwanda has largely recovered, retired Canadian Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire says the world hasn't learned the lessons from that time to prevent future wars and mass atrocities. The former commander of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda tells Chattopadhyay about his own mental health journey over the last three decades and why he's so disappointed in the international community – including Canada – for letting conflicts around the world spiral out of control.
