Host Shane Hewitt discusses how AI‑driven search is upending traditional “buy Google ads” playbooks and opening new discovery paths for brands. The segment raises concerns about walled‑garden social search and warns that closed systems can distort results and limit viewpoint diversity. The conversation urges companies to adapt content for AI briefings while teaching kids critical…
You already know what you think about cancel culture in sports. A US hockey player laughs at the wrong moment during a White House visit. You see the clip, you form your verdict, you move on. Then the White House posts an AI deepfake of Brady Tkachuk saying things he never said. He gets it…
Single men stereotypes have exactly two settings right now, and neither of them is accurate. You’re either a playboy or you’re an incel, and the middle ground, the guy who simply hasn’t found what he’s looking for and genuinely enjoys going to bed when he wants, doesn’t have a narrative yet. Women have two books…
Loneliness and human connection have a measurement problem, and the number from Genwell’s own Canadian research lands harder than most people expect. 52% of Canadians say they feel lonely on a weekly basis. Not occasionally. Not during hard seasons. Every week. And the research is clear that being surrounded by people does not fix it,…
Your weekend streaming picks just got more interesting than you planned. Prime Video has a Paul McCartney documentary that has nothing to do with The Beatles. It’s about after, when he didn’t know if he’d write another note of music or whether audiences would accept him alone. That admission from one of the most gifted…
Canadian politics and trade collided this week in ways that cut across the usual lines. India is growing at four to five percent annually, needs energy, and was burning coal before it moved to oil. It is now moving to natural gas. Canada just came back from India with a deal, and Andrew Caddell’s framing…
You think you know the hockey birthplace Canada story. You probably picture Montreal or maybe Kingston. Sports historian Danny Dill has a different answer backed by more than 200 years of books, essays, and physical artifacts: Windsor, Nova Scotia. Not as a regional claim. As the documented origin point from which the sport spread everywhere…
Winter slip and fall liability is more complicated than the patch of ice you’re standing on. The sidewalk that cuts through your driveway is city property. Ontario courts have held the city responsible for falls on that surface. But if snow you piled up ran down onto that sidewalk and froze overnight, the liability comes…
Night owl and early bird brain differences run deeper than when you set your alarm. If you stay up late and always have, you are not one type of night owl, you are one of three. The first subtype has higher prefrontal cortex volume, faster reaction times, and better cognitive test scores. The second is…
AI search disruption is already changing what you find when you search, and the result is not neutral. Google’s AI summary is built on what you have searched before, where you are located, and what keeps you on the platform. Mohit Rajhans flags it directly: that is not 100% accurate just because you searched it.…
