Why does a narrow stretch of water halfway around the world matter so much? TVO Today producer Lucas Meeuse breaks down the Strait of Hormuz, a key global chokepoint, and why even the threat of disruption can rattle markets far beyond the Middle East. Then, back in Canada, we turn to food prices. Grocery inflation has eased slightly, but prices are still more than 30 per cent higher than in 2021.
