    The winner takes it all ⚾ - Ottawa selects submarine contract winner, Rogers swallows Toronto sports whole.

    Ottawa has selected Germany’s TKMS as its preferred bidder for Canada’s massive new submarine contract, a generational defence purchase that could be worth up to $120B and signals a deeper bet on European and NATO ties. Plus, Rogers is buying the remaining stake in MLSE, giving it control of nearly every major Toronto sports property and raising fresh questions about what consolidation — and possible private equity investment — could mean for fans. And in The Big Picture: Ontario and Alberta are pitching a new cross-country oil pipeline, Reddit is using AI to fight AI-generated marketing spam, and Alberta is issuing drilling permits at the fastest pace in more than a decade.

Plus, Pokémon cards are exploding into a $15B+ collectibles economy, as Millennials and Gen Z turn childhood nostalgia into a high-risk investment frenzy that’s driving six-figure sales (and even real-world thefts). And in The Big Picture: Ottawa and B.C. strike a “generational” deal to uphold the North Coast tanker ban, OpenAI reportedly floats the idea of giving the U.S. government a stake, and SpaceX previews an xAI-integrated device concept for investors.

    Model behaviour 🚗 - Chinese carmakers put Germany in reverse, open-source AI catches up.

    Chinese automakers are rapidly gaining ground in Europe, forcing German giants like Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes into cost-cutting mode — and offering a warning of what could happen if Chinese-made EVs break into North America through Canada. Plus, China’s new open-source AI model GLM 5.2 is climbing the rankings and impressing developers, raising the stakes for businesses weighing cheaper open-source tools against the top closed models from U.S. labs. And in The Lookout: Canada, the U.S., and Mexico head into the first tri-lateral CUSMA review, Alberta prepares to pitch a major new west coast oil pipeline, and fresh GDP numbers could help settle whether Canada’s economy is actually bouncing back.
