Earlier this week, Pascale St-Onge brought forth good news to Parliament Hill, as Google shook hands on a $100 million online news deal. And while this might be welcomed news for Canadian journalists, some critics argue that this pact still doesn’t move the needle far enough. Andrew Pinsent chats with Michael Geist, a UOttawa Professor who studies Internet and E-Commerce Law. Meantime, addictive nicotine pouches have made their way into the Canadian marketplace, and are now posing as a serious threat to the health of Canadian youth. That’s according to Kingston Whig-Standard columnist Geoffrey Johnston, who delivers the latest International Affairs headlines every Sunday on CFRA Live. Plus, a local business group is calling on the Trudeau government to keep making payments in lieu of taxes on all of its current Downtown properties. This call to action isn’t just for 2024, but for the next 10 years.
