BC wildfire smoke turned Bob Addison's backyard barbecue into a survival mission, with ash falling like snow and a sombrero standing in for proper cover. He walks through what the online smoke forecast tools got right days in advance, useful know-how for anyone who has ever wondered if tonight's dinner plans need a plan B.

From there the conversation turns to a fresh survey claiming soccer has overtaken hockey as the sport of choice for young Canadians, and why the timing of that finding raises more questions than it answers.

A headline about FIFA selling World Cup ownership stakes to private investors closes things out, including word that Jared Kushner is now involved in the negotiations, a detail that says plenty about where the sport's money is headed next.
