Sat, 12 Sep 2026 - 5716 - One man's harrowing escape from the World Trade Center
Twenty-five years ago today, Brian Clark walked into the World Trade Center for what should have been an ordinary day at work. He would turn out to be one of the lucky survivors of the 9/11 attacks. Who should have the final say when a city signs a major contract: elected politicians, or city staff? That question is now being debated in Victoria after the city's decision to award its new bike-share contract to Lime. In Vancouver, a group of firefighters watched the 9/11 attacks unfold at Fire Hall No. 5. They didn't know exactly what they could do, but they knew they wanted to do something.

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 - 5713 - How the cosmetics industry is getting hammered by the trade war...
There is a new push on Vancouver Island to connect technology, manufacturing, marine, aerospace and defense companies. This would allow them to go after contracts that would simply be too big for one company to handle. When we talk about the tariff war with the United States, we tend to talk about cars, steel, aluminum, dairy and other big-ticket industries. But there's another industry getting hammered... cosmetics. We’ve spent the last few years talking about Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs as weight-loss medications. But what if that’s actually selling these drugs short? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
