Show Notes

Mark Carney lays out a bold vision for a new Canada–EU alliance — from seamless digital trade and critical minerals cooperation to shared AI safety protocols and sovereign compute. We’ll break down what “sovereignty” really means in this context, why Europe seems newly open to deeper partnership, and how Washington could respond. Then, daylight saving time edges closer to extinction: Manitoba joins a growing list of provinces and territories moving to permanent time, and with the U.S. debating a similar shift, Ontario and Quebec could be next. We dig into the real reasons DST has stuck around, and what the research says about the health and productivity costs of changing the clocks.

Plus in The Big Picture: OpenAI flags concerning model behavior, EDC argues Canada needs more domestic processing to boost exports, and Stellantis labor tensions rise.
