The Elias Makos Show: October 21, 2026

In the 11am hour of today's program:
Levi’s jeans and Reebok sneakers coming to a Maxi or Provigo near you: Retail analyst Carl Boutet joins the show to discuss how Loblaw is aggressively reshaping its in-store retail footprint by bringing heavy-hitting fashion brands like Levi's and Reebok directly onto Joe Fresh shelves inside local supermarkets like the Provigo in Montreal's Angus district.
Another day, another Canadian setting up shop in the U.S: Famed Quebec Olympian and entrepreneur Louis Garneau discusses his decision to purchase a warehouse in Newport, Vermont to sell bicycles under his latest venture, acknowledging the strength of the American market and the influence of Donald Trump's economic policies on cross-border business.
Good news…babies are active. Bad news…they are spending a long time on screens: ParticipACTION Scientific Director Leigh Vanderloo breaks down a sobering new report card showing that toddlers and babies aged zero to four are failing to meet basic physical activity guidelines due to creeping screen time and structured environments that restrict free play.
