Shane Hewitt is joined by military expert and senior fellow at MLI, Richard Shimooka, who explains that Ukraine’s surprise drone attacks on multiple Russian airfields showcase a bold and evolving strategy aimed at disrupting Russian military infrastructure deep behind enemy lines. Shimooka emphasizes how this tactic reflects Ukraine’s shift toward asymmetric warfare, leveraging technology and surprise to counter Russia's larger forces.

Joining Shane Hewitt on the Nightshift, Richard Vanderlubbe, President of TripCentral.ca explains that Canadian leisure travel to the U.S. has dropped by about 50%, with many Canadians opting instead for domestic destinations or Europe due to political tensions, airfare changes, and limited affordable accommodations at home. He notes shifting travel trends and emphasizes that Canadians are increasingly using their travel dollars to make values-based choices.

Daniel Tsai is a business and technology expert and a professor at Toronto Metropolitan University, and he joins Shane Hewitt for a conversation about how AI is evolving to make videos more and more realistic. How do we tell our elders what to look for and tell the difference between real and AI.
