 PODCAST: The Daily Review for Wed. March 25th, 2026

Most basic groceries – fruits, vegetables, and canned beans – are already exempt from Ontario’s provincial tax. But prepared foods – snacks, beverages, and single-serve items – are taxed. So that would be anything from bags of chips and chocolate bars, to pre-made salads and rotisserie chickens. Should they be taxed? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today's Question of the Day. Meantime, a video message from Air Canada's CEO has generated plenty of discussion following Sunday's deadly plane crash in New York. Michael Rousseau delivered an English-only message of condolences to the victim’s families, which has since led to a mountain of complaints and concerning questions. And now, Prime Minister Carney has weighed in on the topic. CFRA's Andrew Pinsent has more on that. Plus, just 2 years after it launched, OpenAI has shut down its A.I. video-generation app. It has also pulled the plug on a $1 billion content partnership with Disney. Shruti Shekar, the editor-in-chief of Android Central, drops by the studios in Hour 3.
