Planes, trucks and drones are just some of the ways Canadians are moving themselves or their stuff around these days. We look at a travel industry facing demand it wasn't expecting, drones that might be moving your things around —and a trucking industry that is facing low demand for the jobs it offers.

Billions of dollars worth of trade go through transportation corridors in British Columbia. So what does the flood mean for parts of Canada on the other side? Plus, we look at the future of Canada's food system and talk about businesses that share space with each other.

As Ontario gets ready to bring in right-to-disconnect legislation, we look at a competing idea: the right to connect — whenever and wherever you want. Danielle Nerman introduces us to Jody Thompson, an HR consultant and one of the architects of ROVE, or the  "Results-Only Work Environment."

A CBC listener, a market strategist and a futurist walk into a bar... and then they all try to guess what will happen with the markets! The TSX is on a tear right now, oil is at $80 a barrel and crypto currencies are setting daily records. Paul Haavardsrud looks at what's going on, and asks three market watchers to make some predictions.

Plus Adele is set to release her new album this week, and the music industry is turning its lonely eyes to her. She's one of a handful of artists who can still sell entire albums (not just digital downloads...actual records). But a lot has changed in the six years since Adele released 25. Jennifer Keene asks an Adele fan why the artist is so beloved, and asks an industry watcher if people will still hand over cash to get their hands, physically, on her records.

The goal of getting to net-zero carbon emissions has been talked about for years. But what would that goal cost us, both individually and as a country? And are Canadians willing to pay that price? Tracy Johnson explains the $2 trillion task ahead of us.

The Hudson's Bay Company owned the Zellers trademark for decades. But a few months ago, the trademark expired. Then — someone else tried to register it before HBC could (oops). So who owns the brand name anyway? Producer Anis Heydari talks to the Quebec businessman who says "c’est à moi", and a trademark expert who says maybe not.

And thanks to remote working, some Canadians have moved from more expensive cities to places with a lower cost of living. But what about salary? Producer Brandie Weikle looks at whether you also expect to take a cut in pay if you move to a more economical job market.

Prices are going up for things like gasoline and food, and the inflation rate shows it. But the Bank of Canada is still playing it cool.

And the continuing story of who controls telecom giant Rogers is straight out of a television soap opera. But the dispute has sparked a real debate around the company's dual-class share structure. We explain what's happening through a trip to Genoa City, home of The Young and the Restless.

Plus we explain why Halloween stores can pop-up today and be gone tomorrow — like ghosts! How does a business make money — in this world or the underworld — by operating for only two months a year?

Retailers have been whipping up a sense of urgency around holiday shopping since the 1800's but, this year, the urgency is real. Jennifer Keene explains why you should shop early but, also wait until the last minute.

And online retailers have taken a deep dive into the "buy now, pay later" business. Companies like Klarna, Afterpay and PayBright are putting the squeeze on traditional credit cards by offering payment plans without interest or late penalties. Anis Heydari asks whether it's too good to last.

Paul Haavardsrud heads to a mall that is about to be demolished. Can the prime real estate many shopping malls sit on come back to life? We speak with urban designer Ellen Dunham-Jones about zombie malls.

the Teamsters are hoping to hold successful union votes at fulfilment centres, including one just outside Edmonton. But union drives have failed at Amazon in the past. What's happening this time around?

Plus pay-what-you-can used to be reserved for the Sunday matinees play, but the idea has grown to include grocery stores, cafes and thrift shops.

And we also look at the Great Resignation — is everyone actually quitting their jobs?

Jeopardy! tried to find a new host to replace the late, great Alex Trebek — and it turned into a public display of the hiring process gone bad. What is there to learn about how businesses can better hand off leadership roles, or as they might say on the show... what is succession planning?

Plus have you ever really, truly wanted the taste of a discontinued treat? A food that's gone forever? Crystal Westergard wanted to buy her husband's favourite old chocolate bar for him. The problem was nobody made the Rum and Butter candy bar anymore. So she took on the challenge to recreate it and got a hit product out of the challenge.

And in a look back at one of our favourite stories of recent months, we ask why senior business reporter Tony Seskus crossed the road. The answer: to get a hot chicken sandwich. How did poultry, spices and bread conquer the North American palate anyway?

On this week's show, we talk about China-Canada relations being cold while trade between the two countries is still hot as ever. So what is our current trading relationship like? Paul Haavardsrud looks at where we are at right now, after the Two Michaels returned home to Canada.

Plus we look at the return of Zellers. The Hudson's Bay Company has dusted off its old trademark and opened up a pop-up shop in Burlington, Ontario with the discount store branding. Could the lowest price be the law once more? Anis Heydari ventured into the world of big red Z's to find out.

And what is happening to your brain when you get a new subscription box each month? The monthly deliveries often appeal to niche interests — like a monthly selection of unique breakfast cereals! Danielle Nerman looks at the exploding popularity of subscription boxes.

The federal NDP say they plan to press the federal Liberals for a "tax on the ultra-rich". The 1% tax on wealth over $10 million could bring in billions, but critics warn it could also lead to an exodus of capital. Tracy Johnson looks to Europe, where several countries imposed a wealth tax in the 90's, but most have since abandoned the idea. Why?

Also on the show, during the pandemic Canadians turned to credit and debit cards in even greater numbers. Convenient? Sure! But small businesses say they're paying for our obsession with plastic.

Most of Canada's malt barley is grown on the prairies, where crops were blasted by heat this summer. Jennifer Keene takes us to a farm where "they grow beer" to look at what it might mean for your favourite glass of suds.
