Canadian attention fatigue is the throughline tonight, tested first by rising gas prices tied to a collapsing ceasefire, then flipped on its head by a city that could not stop celebrating soccer.

Gas Prices Are Climbing Again

A shaky ceasefire falls apart and gas prices climb again, so the segment tracks how the Strait of Hormuz situation is moving oil markets and what that looks like at the pump on both sides of the Atlantic. Jamie Ellerton lays out why traders keep pricing in restraint even when the headlines suggest otherwise.

A City That Showed Up

From there the conversation tests a theory about resignation, the idea that a crisis only registers once it hits the wallet, before pivoting to a very different kind of attention. Lindsay Broadhead and Jamie Ellerton describe a Toronto electrified by the World Cup, proof that people show up when they feel like they belong to something.
