Cafe hog ☕- The Yukon is luring miners, Are remote workers ruining cafes?

from The Peak Daily · host The Peak / Curiouscast

In today's episode, we explore how remote workers are transforming Canada's cafe culture—and not always for the better. Coffee shops are grappling with laptop-toting customers who camp out all day on a single purchase, forcing owners to get creative with policies like purchase-per-hour requirements and designated work zones. Then, we head north to the Yukon, where the government is streamlining mining regulations to attract investment in critical minerals like tungsten—a move that could give Canada leverage in upcoming trade negotiations with the U.S. Plus Trump declares the Iran conflict nearly over, Canada commits nearly $1 billion to domestic defence innovation, and Live Nation settles its antitrust case with major concessions.
