The Supreme Court of the United States has dealt a major blow to U.S. President Donald Trump, ruling 6–3 that he overstepped his authority by imposing sweeping global tariffs under emergency powers. The court found that the U.S. Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to levy taxes, including tariffs, striking down duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. While some tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos remain in place under different laws, the decision injects new uncertainty into global trade, including Canada-U.S. relations.

Think back to when you were a kid. Were you the “easy” one? The polite one? The kid who never caused trouble, never talked back, and always tried to do the right thing? Many of those so-called “good kids” grow up to be adults who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and being way too hard on themselves, often without realizing where it comes from. Maggie Nick is a trauma therapist, parenting expert, and author of the new book Good Kids: Why You Suffered in Silence and How to Break the Cycle, she spoke to Andrew Carter.

Do dogs actually understand us when we talk to them? It turns out, there’s some fascinating research on this. Recent studies show that dogs may not only respond to our tone of voice, but they can actually associate words with objects, and even anticipate what we mean when we use certain words. Dr. Sophia Skoulikas, a veterinarian at the Liesse Animal Clinic in Dorval, spoke to Andrew Carter.
