The Peak Daily ·

2024/01/11

Rebel attacks on cargo ships in the Red Sea have been mucking up global trade for weeks, and Western powers have officially had enough. You can work from home, take classes at home, and even exercise at home. And now, in B.C., you can even do your routine medical tests from home. Celebrating something?

Boeing shares plummeted ~8% yesterday, which was to be expected after one of its planes blew a freakin’ hole in mid-air. Sorry, we still can’t believe that actually happened.

As if the $15 poutine at the chalet wasn’t bad enough, poor snow conditions and high demand have marred this year’s ski season at popular Canadian slopes. Don’t feel too bad for the world’s most valuable company, but the new year is increasingly shaping up to be a challenging one for Apple. Celebrating something?

The Peak Daily ·

2023/12/22

Angola’s oil output might be just a drop in the barrel for OPEC — a group of leading oil-producing countries — but its departure could ripple into much bigger changes. Investors are starting to question the existence of Santa Claus… as far as the guy with the big, white, fluffy beard relates to markets, that is. Tiny towns popping up in the northern Ontario wilderness have come under government scrutiny, but their pioneer-like inhabitants insist they just want cheaper housing. Celebrating something

Better late than never: Canada is starting to pour more cash into its defence strategy. A northern Alberta town with a population of 577 people could be the site of a renewable energy breakthrough. Canada is a land of innovation. Look no further than the pizza dip roller or [ketchup chips](https://www.foodbloggersofcanada.com/canadas-love-for-ketchup-chips/#:~:text=The Canadian Story%3A Hostess Ketchup,chips on his mother's stove.)!

2023/12/19

In recent days, the Red Sea has become like the mall during the holidays: A place better kept at a safe distance. Like each and every one of us who got used to working in our pyjamas, Zoom has had a rude post-Covid awakening. Forget champagne fountains or a private DJ set from David Guetta. Your office holiday party this year is more likely to be a not-so-boozy potluck, a pickleball match, or some virtual trivia. Celebrating something?

The Peak Daily ·

2023/12/18

The end of the road for gas-powered vehicles in Canada is fast approaching. Like us trying to figure out what to wear to the company holiday party, H&M is having a bit of a fashion identity crisis. The conflict between Israel and Hamas is spreading to other parts of the Middle East. In Yemen, that could start to muck up global trade routes. Celebrating something?

2023/12/15

The ringleader of the largest art fraud operation in Canadian history — and, per one investigating officer, in *world* history — was sentenced to 5 years in prison yesterday. Team Canada announced its roster for the 2024 World Junior Championship. But the biggest names joining the team this year aren’t the new players, but returning advertisers. Over a year after a nationwide blackout left 12 million Canadians without reception, Rogers is making amends by bringing cell service to the deepest corners

2023/12/14

Forget a Justin Bieber collab — as Tim Hortons expands into its newest locale, it should be looking for a stamp of approval from Blackpink or BTS. As if renewing your real passport wasn’t a big enough pain, you may soon need an internet passport to get into your favourite Reddit thread. What goes up must go down. After a record maple syrup harvest last year, Canada’s crop of the brown stuff has come crashing down like a stack of flapjacks that was piled too high. Celebrating something? Let us know

When all else fails, try finding answers to today’s problems in the ol’ history textbooks. They say you can’t teach an old newspaper new tricks, but The Grey Lady wants to get with the times and dabble in AI. The UN COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai went into overtime as environment ministers made like us in university and pulled an all-nighter desperately trying to finish a project. Celebrating something?

It’s starting to look like investors might be happier watching BlackBerry the movie than BlackBerry the company. Canada proposed a new strategy to slash methane emissions by offering cattle farmers incentives if they feed their cows food that will make them burp less.

2023/12/11

The EU is once again leading the charge on regulating tech, this time with a new set of rules for AI businesses. Look away, Blue Jays fans: Shohei Ohtani just signed the biggest contract in pro sports history, and despite some dedicated flight tracking and internet sleuthing, it’s not with Toronto. Tesla is learning the hard way that the only thing Scandinavians love more than skiing and cured seafood is the right to collective bargaining agreements. Celebrating something? Let us know here:

The newest admissions requirement for foreign students looking to get into a Canadian university has nothing to do with grades or extracurriculars.

Who doesn’t love throwin’ up their feet and crackin’ open an ice-cold beer? We love Canada but must admit that other countries are superior in certain areas—things like better sun, tastier cuisine, and, crucially, better access to family doctors. People are used to getting surprises when they sign up for 23andMe, but “some hackers got their hands on your DNA” usually isn’t among them. Celebrating something?

If you’re like us, when you studied math in school, you were constantly thinking ‘wow, this is hard.’ Unfortunately, for kids today, it seems that learning math has gotten even harder. The world's largest retailer is banking on a holiday season staple to boost sales: the cheesy holiday rom-com. After persevering through the most destructive year ever for wildfires in Canada, firefighters are in Ottawa trying to get more assistance before the next wildfire season. Celebrating something?

Most of the world’s countries agreed on a significant new renewable energy push at the UN’s COP28 climate summit over the weekend, but scientists warned that overshooting the 1.5°C threshold — beyond which climate disasters will become more frequent and intense — is now almost “inevitable.” If your favourite artist is getting too old to tour, here’s some good news — soon, they could start sending a digital proxy to perform for them.

The Canadian economy has avoided a technical recession after economists updated the numbers that triggered alarm bells earlier this year. That’s #EconomistMath. With consumers starting to lean into burger options that are less… let’s say, mushy, McDonald’s is revamping its classic road trip staple. As 2024 nears, flying cars and teleporters are no closer to becoming a reality, but countries are hard at work devising digital currencies. Celebrating something? Let us know here:
