If Artificial General Intelligence ever arrives, would it want anything to do with us? Shane Hewitt and Greg Fish explore a thought-provoking scenario where an all-knowing digital mind might find human life — with its emotions, customs, and contradictions — too irrational to bother with.

They unpack what hyper-rationality could mean for society, how AGI might interpret human economics and traditions, and whether technology could push us to rethink what truly matters. Blending humor and philosophy, this episode imagines an AI future that’s less about domination — and more about reflection.

Shiftheads - When AI Outgrows Us: What AGI Could Really Think

Windsor has always stood apart — geographically, politically, and emotionally. It’s a city defined by its proximity to Detroit, but even more by the people who live with that complexity every day.

Meg Roberts joins from CKLW to share how 2025’s tariff battles pushed Windsor to the edge, and how the community pushed back. From policy delays to personal stories, this is about more than economics — it’s about how place and pride can carry a city forward.

The Strength You Don’t See on a Map

Does Toronto really see the rest of Canada — or just itself? Jim Richards tackles that question head-on in a conversation that moves from local traffic to national identity.

He breaks down why the rest of the country sees Toronto as disconnected, and whether that perception is fair. Plus: why a family making $250K still can’t buy a home in the city, why the Blue Jays win mattered so much, and what keeps Toronto feeling livable — even when it’s barely moving.

What happens when a lifelong Ottawan admits he’s never skated the Rideau Canal? Stefan Keyes shares the shock of that confession and helps unpack a wild year in Canada’s capital — one that included viral soccer, public service chaos, and a haunting small-town tragedy.

From the billion-view “icicle kick” to federal job cuts threatening 28,000 workers, Stefan brings both local insight and national perspective. They also dig into the ripple effects of political change, why Ottawa’s economy is on edge, and how one brutal crime redefined a community.
