NEW - The Skill AI Is Quietly Taking From Your Kids

Critical thinking is not a soft skill. It is the skill. And right now, something is eroding it in a generation that never learned to live without AI. Dr. Perry Adler has spent decades working with teenagers. What he is seeing now is different. Kids arriving despondent about their futures, convinced AI will take their jobs before they ever get started. Suicidal ideation in young people has more than doubled in a decade. The algorithm is not neutral. It is designed to produce rage because rage keeps people engaged. The result is a generation trained to think in black and white, at exactly the moment society needs the opposite.

NEW: The Pizza Pops Are Cooked. The Microwave Left the E. Coli Alive

Food safety is the subject and it starts with pizza pops. Two outbreaks in three years: one E. coli, one salmonella. Dr. Keith Warriner explains how something most people assume is safe to cook at home went wrong twice. The microwave is the common thread in the E. coli case. Microwaves heat unevenly, leaving cold spots where bacteria survive. The salmonella outbreak traced to dried milk powder in the dough, where the bacteria becomes heat-resistant in low-moisture environments. Proper cooking fixes both problems. The meat thermometer is not optional. Pistachios are the bigger story. A salmonella outbreak linked to them has been running for over a year. Not all contaminated stock has been recalled. Salmonella survives the salting and roasting process. Topics: food safety, pizza pop recall, E. coli, salmonella, pistachio outbreak GUEST: Dr. Keith Warriner Originally aired on 2026-05-28

Canada Has a Chicken Quota. It Has Missed It 12 Times Out of 14. Prices Are Up 30 Percent

Chicken prices in Canada are about to get worse. Sylvain Charlebois visited a processing plant today and had lunch with the CEO. They ate chicken. Two hundred and fifty chickens are harvested per minute at this facility. Canada's supply management system missed its production quota twelve times out of the last fourteen cycles. Whole chicken is up thirty percent. A meat broker called Sylvain Charlebois this week suspecting smugglers are crossing the border with undeclared chicken, avoiding the tariff that is supposed to protect the entire system. The tariff is two hundred and forty-nine percent. Chicken smuggling carries no jail time. Someone is acting on both of those facts right now.

Throwback Thursday: Trailer Park Boys, Drake and Political Things Happening this Week with Echos of 2001

Throwback Thursday 2001 and the best Canadian comedy shows debate is louder than it sounds. Corner Gas has a case. So does SCTV. So does something from Calgary that only rock radio people from that era fully understand. There is a speech from 2001 about a small Canadian town and a lot of strangers that is worth hearing even today. There is also an announcement from an American president that names specific allies. Fast forward to today, and one of those countries reminded President Trump that they showed up even though they weren’t a NATO member.  Full circle?
