## Resource

The world's financial heavyweights gather in Toronto for the first Canada Investment Summit, where Prime Minister Mark Carney is pitching opportunities to invest in the country. Mackenzie Gray looks at part one of the two-day event. With Canada's inflation rate holding steady, Heidi Petracek explains what's offsetting a slowdown in rising prices for gas and groceries. And Heather Yourex-West looks at how rising diesel prices may soon lead to bigger grocery bills here in Canada and around the world. With Carney wanting Canada to form a "unique alliance" with the European Union, Redmond Shannon explores what that might look like. Jackson Proskow reports on how U.S. President Donald Trump is dismissing concerns about artificial intelligence's potential threat to humanity as a "SICK conspiracy." Touria Izri explains why a new ad for a sports betting site featuring actor Sydney Sweeney is sparking swift backlash. Plus, Bob Mackie, the fashion designer whose bold and provocative designs defined glamour during the 1970s, has died at the age of 87. Eric Sorensen looks back on Mackie's life, legendary creations, and influence that still lives on today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
