    Books are back 📖 - Canadians are reading again, World Cup spending dries up

    Canadians are reading again, with young people leading a surprising rebound in books as a screen-time antidote and helping drive growth in print sales, indie bookstores, and audiobook demand.

    Pipe dream 〰️ - Ironing out the West Coast pipeline, StubHub hit with class action World Cup suit.

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).

    Extra credit 🏭 - A Canadian carbon capture milestone, The Not-So-Magnificent Seven.

    Canadian carbon removal startup Deep Sky has delivered North America’s first direct air capture carbon credits, a small but important milestone for a technology that companies and governments are increasingly betting on to offset emissions from AI, energy, and industrial projects. Plus, the Magnificent Seven stocks are losing steam as investors start questioning whether Big Tech’s massive AI spending spree will actually translate into profits. And in The Big Picture: Ottawa is relaunching a home retrofit program, Comcast is spinning off NBCUniversal and Sky into a new public company, and TIDAL is cracking down on AI-generated music by cutting off monetization.

    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.

    Window shopping 🪟 -  The food delivery app that doesn’t deliver food, Canada’s new pesticide rules.

    South Korea’s new “dopamine sites” are letting people get the thrill of online shopping and food delivery without actually buying anything — a bizarre trend that highlights how much of the dopamine hit comes from anticipation, not consumption, especially when money is tight. Plus, Canada’s new pesticide legislation is raising alarms after giving Ottawa more power to authorize pesticide use even against Health Canada warnings, a shift that could widen the gap with stricter EU rules and create new trade headaches. And in The Big Picture: Ottawa and B.C. are buying up thousands of unsold Vancouver condos to convert into affordable housing, OpenAI is testing its first-ever in-house chip, and a minimalist US$25K electric pickup is racking up massive early reservations.
