Shane Hewitt welcomes back food professor Dr. Sylvain Charlebois to unpack why Canada now leads the G7 in food inflation, pointing to domestic policy missteps, counter-tariffs, and consumer confusion — including “maple washing” and misleading food labeling — as key drivers behind rising grocery costs.

Shane Hewitt speaks with military expert Richard Shimooka to analyze Russia's unprecedented drone assault on Ukraine, where over 350 drones were launched in a single night. Shimooka discusses how this escalation signifies a shift in modern warfare, highlighting the increasing reliance on unmanned systems and the strategic implications for Ukraine's defense posture and international support.

For his regular appearance on Shane Hewitt and the Nightshift, Mr. Sunshine, Matt Gurney discusses the Canadian monarchy, the importance of its stability, and the recent visit of the King, along with the NDP's current challenges and opportunities in Canadian politics. Gurney analyzes the NDP's recent performance, its choices, and the potential for the party to redefine itself. Matt Gurney can be found at https://www.readtheline.ca/
