A Tale of Two Algorithms

Algorithms are the invisible engines that drive every scroll, swipe or click. And, in the last few years, it's become clear that they can devastate young lives. But Ava discovers they might also be capable of saving them. She speaks with two teens with radically different stories. When 12-year-old CeCe Neltner went online to find workout tips, her social media feeds devolved into a torrent of eating disorder content. Today, she says she's lucky to be alive. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Keira MacDuff was battling a mysterious chronic illness that doctors dismissed as teenage drama – until TikTok's algorithm led her to a life-changing diagnosis. Did TikTok save Keira's life?

Scam phone calls: fraud, technology and other hang ups

Shanaplan in shambles

Guest: Legendary sports broadcaster Dave Hodge, formerly of TSN and Hockey Night in Canada When Brendan Shanahan took over the helm of the Maple Leafs in 2014, he vowed not to repeat the sins of various predecessors accused of rushing the team-building process. Shanahan insisted he would exercise patience. But after eight post-season runs in which the Maple Leafs have only once advanced beyond the opening round, Shanahan's refusal to give up on the team's core stars is accompanied by the reek of stubborn incompetence. Here Arthur, Feschuk and Hodge try to make sense of Shanahan's approach while pointing out the glaring blind spots that have left the Maple Leafs a long way away from interrupting the longest Stanley Cup drought in the history of the NHL, 57 years and counting. PLUS: Arthur, Feschuk and Hodge discuss the highs and lows of the Shanaplan era.

A few days from now, Burlington's Phil Pritchard will do what he's done for years and carry the Stanley Cup to centre ice to present to the new National Hockey League champion. But where did this tradition come from? What's the deal with the white gloves? And did he really spend time in a Finnish sauna with a Hall of Famer and the trophy?

'If I can finish it, I will': the inside story of Terry Fox's run

Guest: Bill Vigars, author of "Terry & Me" It was 43 years ago when Terry Fox dipped his leg in the Atlantic Ocean and embarked on a run across the country to raise money for cancer research. He ran 5,373 kilometres in 143 days before his cancer would return and end his run in Thunder Bay, Ont. Fox's dream of raising $1 for every Canadian would be realized, though. Canadians and others around the world run annually in his place and have raised over $850 million dollars for critical research. Bill Vigars, one of the people closest to Fox, is the author of the new book "Terry & Me" and joins "This Matters" to share more about the man behind the Marathon of Hope.

Ripple effects from SVB's collapse continue to hit similar institutions, have reached Credit Suisse Group (itself moving to sell) and ignited a political blame game. Chay Ornthanalai, an associate professor at the Rotman School of Management, joins "This Matters" to explain what went wrong and explore why it is unlikely for such failures to happen in Canada. This episode was produced by Brian Bradley and Paulo Marques.
