Running interference 🖥️ - YouTubers push U.S. annexation, Silicon Valley builds its own media sphere.

from The Peak Daily · host The Peak / Curiouscast

In today’s episode of The Peak Daily, we unpack a viral (and likely AI-generated) YouTube network pushing the idea of Alberta becoming the 51st U.S. state — and why foreign influence campaigns can shape real political momentum. Then, we look at how Silicon Valley is building a new, tech-friendly media ecosystem, from VC-backed livestream news to founder-safe podcasts, and what it means for who controls the narrative. Plus: Canada’s new Canada–U.S. trade advisory committee, proposed rules for domestic rocket launches, and CATL’s lightning-fast EV battery recharge breakthrough.The Peak Daily is produced in partnership with reframevid.com
