On today’s Morning Show Podcast, we unpack Prime Minister Mark Carney’s update on trade talks with the U.S. and weigh Stephen Harper’s advice to diversify beyond America. Our Tuesday panel featuring Murray Faulkner and Roger Caranci debates Canada’s backup plan if no deal is reached and asks whether Canadians are getting priced out of their own country. LSTAR president Dale Marsh joins us to discuss a proposed city loan program that could help renters become first-time homebuyers. We also look at new polling data showing most Canadians still prefer working from home—even as employers demand a return to the office. And with Doug Ford’s popularity at an all-time high, we ask whether the Ontario Liberals should reconsider Bonnie Crombie’s leadership ahead of a key review in September.

On today’s edition of The Morning Show, we dive into the looming Canada-U.S. trade deadline with policy expert Mahmood Nanji, who outlines the impact of tariffs and what options Canada has if no deal is reached. As the region swelters under a heat wave, Dr. Joanne Kearon from the Middlesex-London Health Unit shares essential advice for staying safe as extreme heat days become more frequent. We also talk with LHSC’s Rai Di Loreto about water safety and what families should remember before heading to the beach or pool. Then we turn to Alberta, where more than 200 candidates are running in a by-election in a record-breaking ballot meant to protest Canada’s voting system. And finally, we look at how your social media presence — especially if you’re trying to be an influencer — could be hurting your chances with employers.
