Canada set to have the best EV supply chain in the world

While China dominates the EV supply chain today, the ranking — put out by Bloomberg — really looks at the future and singles out Canada for having better environmental and labour standards, as well as a robust automotive sector and vast mineral deposits. But battery manufacturing itself is still in its infancy. There are plans to build three battery plants in Canada — Volkswagen in St. Thomas, Northvolt in Saint-Basile-le-Grand and NextStar in Windsor. NextStar was the first battery plant announced and is the furthest along, and while it's not up and running yet, they agreed to show us around.

Reality TV check: An investigation of '4 Days to Save the World'

Guest: Kevin Donovan, Chief Investigative Reporter Reality television is a genre that has taken over the airwaves with all kinds of dating series and extreme competitions. Some find the genre shallow. But in one recent attempt, a producer gathered altruistic entrepreneurs to tackle some of the world's biggest problems, like racism and poverty. However, it turns out the television show had a problem with reality. It didn't really exist as discussed, leaving many contestants feeling confused and swindled. The Star's Kevin Donovan joins to discuss his latest investigation, which looked at "4 Days To Save The World," a reality series aimed at changing the world. This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Matthew Hearn and Raju Mudhar. Audio Sources: H2HTV

Unravelling Meta's new Threads

Guest: Paris Marx, author and host of "Tech Won't Save Us" podcast Threads, Meta's new social media app that is being called the "Twitter killer" by some experts, has now become the fastest growing app in history with 100 million new users since it was officially launched on July 5. Many see it as a sign of social media user's disenchantment with Twitter after the platform went through a series of controversial and unpopular changes since tech giant Elon Musk took over. Threads is being marketed as the "saner" version of Twitter, but many are not convinced, considering Meta's own controversial history with a far-reaching private data policy and allegations involving amplifying disinformation and hate speech. Meanwhile, Twitter has threatened legal action against Meta accusing the company of stealing trade secrets to create a copycat app. We unravel some of the Threads drama. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz and Sean Pattendon.

Why do Canadians search for proof of racism instead of finding solutions?

Guest: Shellene Drakes-Tull, contributing columnist How many racialized people calling it out does it take to fix racism? Toronto Star contributing columnist Shellene Drakes-Tull addressed this head on in a recent column, where she pointed out the Canadian trend to issue a new survey, report or article comes out every few weeks that states what any racialized person has known for years: racism exists in Canada. Any new data is never good. BIPOC representation is down, systemic racism is up, workplaces are challenging and people of colour are tired of repeating the numbers to general shock, surprise or disbelief. Why does nothing really change? Why is it so hard to make someone believe that racism is real and present in our everyday lives, workplaces and institutions? This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz and Paolo Marques.
