The Peak Daily ·

2024/02/27

Today in news that we’re sure politicians will take in super chill fashion, the federal justice minister unveiled the first draft of a long-awaited Online Harms Act. This year’s Oktoberfest celebrations could have a much chiller vibe, and it’s all thanks to some weed-loving lawmakers in Germany. Celebrating something?

2024/02/26

In what’s probably the most rational decision the company’s made since changing its name from Jet Naked, Lynx Air has decided it’s time to throw in the towel. Got a sweet tooth? Now might be a good time to replenish your personal Strategic Chocolate Reserve, because already-high prices for cocoa-based treats are only going up. Celebrating something?

2024/02/23

Like us trying to do spreadsheets while also taking a Zoom call, Canada’s pipelines are at full capacity. Menthol cigarette bans are helping make the phrase “smoke ’em if you got ’em” obsolete. Celebrating something? Let us know here: https://thepeak.typeform.com/to/MNdYA3TO

2024/02/22

If you stumble across a bottle of 2024 vintage B.C. wine when perusing the liquor store this year, we recommend you pick it up. It could be a collector’s item one day. A new army of robots is coming… but don’t worry, they’re not trying to take over the world, they’re just here to deliver your McDonalds. Celebrating something?

A shadowy international syndicate of cybercriminals just got a taste of its own medicine. As people keep flocking to Alberta’s picturesque mountains, the province is struggling to find enough workers to staff the businesses needed to keep the tourism industry afloat.

2024/02/20

Less than two months after hitting the ice, North America’s new pro women’s hockey league is already breaking records. Unseasonably warm weather isn’t just giving us a headstart on patio season, it's giving our prized maple syrup businesses a head start on their harvest. Celebrating something?

2024/02/16

While most of us are trying to save up these days, NATO nations are spending on defence like a rich kid who got their hands on their father’s credit card. You think you had a rough week? Waymo had one of its cars literally set on fire in the middle of San Fransisco — and that’s not even their biggest problem. Celebrating something?

2024/02/15

The Loblaw corporation has previously beefed with Frito-Lay and other smaller suppliers. Now, it’s in a spat with a guy making novelty T-shirts. Like when Jerry Seinfeld’s beloved Bee Movie character Barry B. Benson finally settled down with a nice florist, Canadian honeybees have found themselves a loving home. Celebrating something?

2024/02/14

Housing isn’t the only shortage facing the federal government these days: It turns out there are about as many judges in Canada as there are apartments for under $1,500. Like us after putting down a non-refundable deposit to book the perfect venue for a birthday party, Vancouver and Toronto are hoping that playing host will be worth it. Celebrating something?

The Peak Daily ·

2024/02/13

It wasn’t too long ago we were writing regularly about plans by U.S. lawmakers to ban TikTok. It now seems like those plans have taken a backseat to politics. The competition might’ve been tough for the King of Pop’s music library, but Sony and its big chequebook told the other investors to beat it. Celebrating something?

2024/02/12

Think twice before sending that disparaging Slack message about your manager. Someone—or rather, something—could be watching. As they did with shirtless hippies in the ’60s, psychedelic drugs are having a moment—but this time around, it’s investors (with their shirts very much on) swooning over ‘shrooms.

At the height of the pandemic, nothing could be more frightening than repeatedly touching a germ-infested item hundreds of other strangers had handled. Now, we can’t get enough of it! Now that Google and the federal government have squashed their beef over paying news publishers, the search giant is giving Canadians access to its shiny new chatbot. Celebrating something?

In what could be the most shocking reunion since Ben Affleck and J-Lo, WeWork co-founder and ex-CEO Adam Neumann has sent the proverbial “u up?” text to his old business. With AI deepfakes becoming more common on Facebook than old high school classmates promoting their multi-level marketing schemes, Meta has decided it’s time to step in. Celebrating something?

A new housing report has confirmed a tough truth: Canada’s rental market has become more crowded than a gym’s weight room in early January. Just like the sober-curious crowd, western provinces are partaking in Dry February… though not by their own choice. Celebrating something? Let us know here: https://thepeak.typeform.com/to/MNdYA3TO

Like a boxer hanging on by a thread, one of China’s biggest real estate developers is being forced to throw in the towel.
