Chaos, Confusion and Defiance: The Global Fallout From the Tariff Ruling

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.

Amidst the ongoing frenzy and hot takes on the ongoing death of the media, this edition of SHuSH so effectively gets a reader taking deeper breaths and provides a much needed perspective.

Prime Minister Carney's speech at the World Economic Forum was a clearΒ 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.

Iran crippled Starlink and why the rest of the world should worry The service became synonymous with censorship-proof connectivity. Iran has just proved that assumption wrong.

"Tehran appears to have succeeded where Moscow failed."

A lifeline on the frontlines of today's greatest struggles has a setback.

That’s what I’m going to take from this magical run. And all the memories with my husband, family, and friends I got to enjoy it with.

The Rogers Centre is my favourite place in Toronto that I’m so lucky and proud to call home.

Thank you Blue Jays. Rest. Recover. And let’s get them next year.

The hope. The belief. The hard work. The support for each other. The unity of purpose. The respect for excellence and pursuit to be greater. True professionals we all can seek to emulate.

The Blue Jays have given the city of Toronto so much this year and can inspire us to do more off the field.

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.

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

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.

What happens to the news business when people stop clicking? β€” The Logic If you use Google to search the internet these days, there’s a chance you won’t be served a list of links or news articles. Instead, you may be met with a chatbot’s attempts to answer your query directly on the page.

2 things are certain:
-we all still need to communicate
-people will search for reliable information.

How & at what cost is up for debate.
