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.

From niche tech to everyday tool, AI has gone from background code to front-page transformation in record time. Handy Andy Baryer joins Shane Hewitt to unpack what 2025 looked like for artificial intelligence — and what 2026 might break wide open.

Hear why tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot are changing not just how we search — but how we work, learn, and live. With productivity soaring and job roles shifting fast, Andy explains why “prompting” is the next essential skill and how AI is turning users into digital managers.

AI Changed Everything in 2 Years — What’s Coming Next?

Open drug use. street disorder. harm‑reduction policy. enforcement shifts. It was a year in Victoria — and Ryan Price gives Shane a raw, local perspective on one of the biggest, most complex community stories of 2025.
They talk about how the pendulum swung from harm‑reduction experimentation to stronger enforcement, how business owners reacted, and why this isn’t just a Victoria story — it’s playing out across Canadian cities.
Add in federal politics, Vancouver Island’s shifting electoral map, and cross‑border cultural ties, and this episode becomes a thoughtful look at how social issues and politics intersect in communities big and small.
