Two things leap out in this discussion on Trump's tariff meltdown: Canada is not mentioned - a reminder of the asymmetry of it all - and everyone talks casually about companies and countries deciding their next moves based on fear of White House retribution.

Prime Minister Carney's speech at the World Economic Forum was a clear call-to-action and provided a clarity of pursuit for Canadians and other middle-power allies across the world.

About to join CBC News Network to analyze its implications here at home and abroad.

This Blue Jays team was incredible.

These Blue Jays taught us what it means to be a team. Showed by example what it means to bring your whole self with imperfections and contribute to something greater by working with others.

As a resident in the area, it’s great to see this work done ahead of schedule! 🥰

Just need the 504 back and all will be well. 🚊

What a moment. What a performance. What a total delight to watch.

That start was the full value of Scherzer’s contract for the whole year.

So glad he’s a Blue Jay and helping this team win big games in October.
Mad Max rages against Father Time -- literally -- in high-octane Game 4
SEATTLE -- Max Scherzer refused to let the sun go down. Not now, not yet. Scherzer was vibrating on the mound, raging against everything the night threatened to be. If Scherzer were a banker or a taxi driver, 41 would be a fine age, but he is neither of those

Connection. Empathy. Insight. Curiosity. Inspiration. Perseverance. Genuine engagement.

These are what drive our weekly conversation. And Shane Hewitt usually has one word that provides a lens through which we explore the world.

This is wild, even by North Korean dictatorship standards.
The BBC obtained a mobile phone that was smuggled out of North Korea.

The level of control the regime holds over its citizens is shocking but not surprising.
