Rare finds: Collectors fuel surging demand at Windsor trading card show
Vanessa, 7, shows off her nearly complete Pokémon Journey Together set. June 1, 2025 (Robert Lothian/CTV News Windsor) A once niche trading card and collectible show in Windsor is now a scene where hundreds of collectors show up to do business. On Sunday morning, the 13th edition of the Rad Sports Card and Collectible Show took over the Forest Glade Arena. 'The dealers carry a lot of different products, from Pokémon to sports cards and other sports memorabilia,' said show organizer Robbie Durling. Binders in hand, attendees walked from table to table in an effort to find the right deal to either sell from or add to their collections. Trading cards have seen a significant increase in interest and value in recent years, Durling said. 060125_trading card show Windsor Robbie Durling, creator of the Rad Sports Card and Collectible Show, sits in front of a table of cards for sale. June 1, 2025 (Robert Lothian/CTV News Windsor) Specific cards, especially those printed in limited amounts or featuring signatures, can often fetch a pretty penny. 'It is really just a piece of paper, but it's what that piece of paper means to the individual collector that can make it so valuable,' Durling said. 'It's not only, you know, the value, but it's more of the perceived value.' Created in 2022 , Durling said his show has increased alongside the interest in collectibles. At their first event, they featured about 14 tables with cards and memorabilia for a crowd of about 50 people. On Saturday, Durling said they showcased about 36 tables, and overall attendance could reach 500 people by the time the show wrapped. 060125_trading card show Windsor Organizers estimate nearly 500 people attended the 13th edition of the Rad Sports Card and Collectible Show at Forest Glade Arena, June 1, 2025 (Robert Lothian/CTV News Windsor) 'I think a lot of that stemmed initially from the pandemic and that kind of trajectory of sports cards and trading card game cards. It just hasn't slowed down,' he said. Durling credits a sense of community that has formed around training for the success of the Rad show. 'When you walk around, and you see people smiling, and you see them trading, and you see them dealing like that's really what these shows are all about, just the community coming together,' he added. While it was never expected to grow to such heights, Durling said he plans to continue hosting the shows every couple of months.

Carney discusses "partnerships" with oil and gas executives in Calgary
Prime Minister Mark Carney sat down with oil and gas executives in Calgary Sunday to discuss partnerships and to get their input for his plans to make Canada an energy superpower. Carney, in his first visit to Calgary since being sworn in as prime minister, held a closed door roundtable with more than two dozen members of the energy sector. Attendees included Tourmaline Oil CEO Michael Rose, Pathways Alliance President Kendall Dilling, ATCO CEO Nancy Southern, Imperial Oil President John Whelan and Jon McKenzie, president of Cenovus Energy. Reporters were only allowed to hear a few comments from the prime minister before being asked to leave the room at the Harry Hays building. "Thank you for convening on a Sunday morning and also for what you've all been doing to help build our our economy, build a future," Carney said. "I'd like to thank a number of you who wrote directly to me a month or so ago and I felt it would be best to get together and discuss it in much more detail than through an exchange of letters given the importance of the issues." Thirty-eight CEOs of Canadian energy companies signed a letter congratulating Carney on his April 28 election win and pitching policy measures they say would help the prime minister make good on his promise to build the fastest-growing economy in the G7. That would include scrapping the federal emissions gap on oil and gas producers and repealing industrial carbon pricing to help bolster the industry. The CEOs want an overhaul of the Impact Assessment Act, which sets out the process for assessing major projects, and of the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act, which bans oil tankers carrying more than 12,500 metric tons of crude from stopping along parts of British Columbia's coastline. Carney campaigned on expediting reviews of major energy infrastructure projects. He promised before the election to move forward with a "one project, one review" approach by recognizing assessments conducted by the provinces and territories. The federal government unveiled its proposed emissions cap regulations late last year. They would compel upstream oil and gas operations to reduce emissions to 35 per cent below where they were in 2019 by sometime between 2030 and 2032. "Partnership is a theme for our discussion this morning," Carney said, accompanied by Energy Minister Tim Hodgson, Dominic LeBlanc, the minister responsible for Canada and U.S. trade and Emergency Management Minister Eleanor Olszewski. "It's a critical time for our country. The world's certainly more divided and dangerous and the imperative of making Canada an energy superpower in all respects has never been greater. We will do everything we can at the federal government level to support those partnerships." Alberta Premier Danielle Smith was asked on her weekend radio show if she was concerned that the federal throne speech didn't include a mention of pipelines. "He may not have said the words 'oil and gas' and he may not have said the word 'pipeline,' but conventional energy means oil and gas, and the only way to get it to market efficiently is through pipelines," said Smith, who says she's hoping for a one-on-one with Carney at Monday's First Ministers conference in Saskatoon. Smith also praised Carney for being more willing to engage with the premiers on issues of national importance than his predecessor Justin Trudeau. She was coy when asked about consequences if Carney doesn't deliver, saying she prefers to be optimistic. Carney also took a moment on Sunday to thank the Department of National Defence, the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and volunteers involved in fighting extensive wildfires and co-ordinating large-scale evacuations.

Federal court rejects CRA's request for information on Canadian Shopify merchants
The federal court has dismissed the Canada Revenue Agency's request for information about e-commerce company Shopify Inc.'s Canadian merchants, blocking the tax agency's efforts to crack down on undeclared income earned online. The CRA's request would have allowed the tax agency to scrutinize merchants' earnings, and spot those who did not remit the correct amount of goods and service tax. The decision, rendered last Thursday, follows a two-year court battle and marks a departure from legal precedents where the tax agency sought to obtain third-party information through e-commerce providers. The Canadian Income Tax Act requires the CRA to obtain a court order when asking a company to provide information about unnamed individuals, a legal tool known as the 'unnamed persons requirement,' or UPR. While the CRA argued that it had identified an 'ascertainable' group of merchants, a precondition for obtaining the information, the federal court ruled that it had not successfully done so, therefore failing to meet the legal threshold. 'The Minister's inconsistent use and scoping of the terms employed in their request renders their proposed UPR ambiguous and unworkable,' said federal justice Guy Régimbald in a ruling dated May 29. 'The Court will not authorize a UPR that is unintelligible, incoherent, or otherwise beyond its understanding,' he added. In 2023, CRA requested permission from a judge to require Shopify SHOP-T to hand information for each Shopify merchant operating in Canada over the six previous years from the date of court authorization of its request, within 60 days. The objective was to verify that those merchants were obeying income tax laws. Those data points included names, social insurance numbers, banking information, and total transaction value for each of those years. According to the affidavit of a CRA employee submitted as part of legal filings, the agency had 'concerns that Shopify's merchants may be participating in the underground economy and are not compliant with their Canadian tax obligations.' The federal court also dismissed an application from the CRA to obtain and share Shopify merchant information with the Australian Tax Office, following a request by that country's government. It ordered that $45,000 of Shopify's costs be paid by the Government on each application. If the federal court had ruled in CRA's favour, Shopify could have been required to hand over the data or risk face legal sanctions. While Shopify, which provides e-commerce website tools, offers compliance features to help merchants calculate what they owe, the company itself is not responsible itself for remitting money to the government.
