PODCAST: The Daily Review for Tues. July 7th, 2026

Is Artificial Intelligence a helpful tool that gets humanity to the next level, or is it a countdown to extinction for your line of work? Today, we are looking deep inside the ‘ghost in the machine’, as A.I. is moving faster than our ability to process it. It is writing our emails, generating our art, trading stocks, writing opening lines on dating apps, offering interior design advice, and even making our music. For millions of us, that progress doesn’t feel like a promise. It feels like a threat. Are we building our future, or are we building our replacements? We dig deeper with tech analyst Carmi Levy. Meantime, residents are still dealing with the fallout and cleanup from the Canada Day flash floods. But that is only the latest example of a significant weather event that has wrecked Canada’s Capital. Since 2017, we have seen three mass floods, a trio of tornadoes in a single day, a derecho, and wildfire smoke. How do today’s municipalities better prepare themselves for future events? CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent drops by for a visit in Hour 1. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
