American alcohol has become a flashpoint in the Canada-U.S. trade war, with President Donald Trump citing provincial liquor bans among the justifications for new tariffs on Canadian goods.

July 26, 2026 |听Anna Jahn听argues in a Globe and Mail op-ed that Canadian universities are failing students by treating AI as a cheating problem rather than a defining redesign challenge. She calls for a deliberate split between "cloister" courses that shield deep learning from AI and "starship" courses that teach students to use the most capable systems well. Without broader institutional leadership, Jahn warns, only wealthy universities will make the shift, turning deep thinking into "a luxury good."

July 21, 2026 | Nicholas King听has co-authored a new BMJ article, "Artificial intelligence as a new commercial determinant of health," led by Itai Bavli (UBC). The paper proposes a new analytical framework to help identify how commercial actors are using AI to shape health behaviours and the flow of health information. The authors argue that AI is making commercial influence more targeted and harder to detect, from personalised chatbots to algorithm-driven social media feeds.

Estimates of ordinary matter in the universe exceed the amount observed in stars and galaxies, leaving much of it unaccounted for. Researchers from the (CHIME)/Fast Radio Bursts Collaboration, including 麻豆社 and MIT, have developed a new method to seek out this 鈥渕issing鈥� matter by combining galaxy locations with fast radio burst detections. A fast radio burst, or FRB, is an ultrabright, millisecond flash of radio waves emitted by extremely energetic phenomena in the distant universe.

The Desautels Faculty of Management has been ranked first in Canada for research output in the 2026 CHART-Index, a new standardized benchmark developed by the University of Calgary's Haskayne School of Business.
