    Fuel prices surge / "Asian flush" study / Digital gap for the elderly / HK Express moving to Terminal 2

    On this programme, we talked to a representative from the transport industry about fuel surcharges. Escalation in the Middle East conflict has propelled global crude oil prices to heights not seen in years. Will airlines and public transportation in Hong Kong be able to weather the storm, or will measures be needed to moderate prices?
    We then learned more from a City University professor about the so-called "Asian glow", and how his team's new study may provide a possible explanation behind the condition that affects about 40 percent of the population in East Asia.
    Following the break, we talked about the digital divide between the older and younger generation, after a recent survey on the SAR's digital literacy was conducted. 
    And we wrapped up the show with a conversation talking to the COO of HK Express about the upgrades at Hong Kong International Airport's Terminal 2.

    Canadian election results / SME business sentiment

    主持人:Azam Khan and John Bruce

    On Wednesday’s Backchat, we talked about the Canadian election results, as the Liberal Party's Mark Carney holds on to power and remains the country’s Prime Minister.

    The Liberal Party’s victory seemed uncertain a few months ago, but the return of Donald Trump to the White House, his tariffs and comments about the country seem to have united Canadians behind the economist-turned-politician, whose defiant stance on Trump contrasted sharply with that of his Conservative rival, Pierre Poilievre.
    Carney has pledged to take a tough approach in dealing with the Trump administration while strengthening ties with the European Union. But, having fallen short of securing a majority government, this may be easier said than done. What challenges lie ahead for the new government?
    In the last part of the show, we explored a study analysing business sentiment amongst SMEs in the city.


    9:05am-9:47am: Canadian election results

    9:05am-9:47am: Alejandro Reyes, Professor at the Department of Politics and Public Administration,The University of Hong Kong

    9:05am-9:47am: James Thomson-Sakhrani, Vice President of the Canadian Club of Hong Kong and Managing Director of the Amber Foundation
