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. Professor at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, University of Toronto, Drew Fagan spoke to Ken Connors. Photo Credit: (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)

Host: Cindy Allen Published: February 20, 2026 Length: ~18 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary “Tariff Friday” may go down as one of the most pivotal days in recent trade history. In this episode of Simply Trade: Cindy's Version, Cindy Allen breaks down the U.S. Supreme Court's 6–3 decision ruling that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs. The Court found that the authority to levy taxes and tariffs belongs to Congress, and that the term “regulate” under IEEPA does not include the power to raise revenue. Inspired by Taylor Swift's Opalite, Cindy walks through what the ruling actually says, what it does not say, and what importers and customs brokers should do right now while awaiting further instruction from the Court of International Trade (CIT) and CBP. The decision may have brought sunlight—but operational clarity will take time. This Week in Trade (Before the Ruling) • Awaiting details on Taiwan 15% MFN (or higher) structure • Pending clarification on India IEEPA reciprocal adjustment (25% to 18%) • Indonesia agreement announced with 19% tariff and textile tariff-rate quota • No movement on elimination of First Sale • No further action on ending IEEPA on Canada • U.S. manufacturing indicators down; stock market up The Supreme Court Decision The Supreme Court issued a 6–3 opinion finding that IEEPA does not grant authority to impose tariffs. Key findings: • IEEPA contains nine enumerated action verbs — none include taxing or raising revenue • Congress alone holds the constitutional authority to levy tariffs • Specific delegated authorities (Sections 301, 232, 122, 338) include limitations and procedural controls • Because Congress created these specific tariff authorities, a broad IEEPA tariff authority cannot be implied • During peacetime, the President does not have independent tariff authority The Court remanded the case back to the lower court — likely the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) — which must now issue implementation instructions. What We Still Don't Know • When the CIT will issue instructions • When (or if) CBP will suspend IEEPA tariff collection • Whether refunds will be automatic or require action • Whether de minimis is affected • Whether related trade agreements tied to IEEPA remain intact • Whether the administration pivots to Section 122 or 338 authorities What Importers Should Do Right Now Cindy's recommendation is clear: Continue paying duties until formal CBP guidance is issued. Why? • Duties were in effect at time of entry • Monthly statement entries could otherwise be considered unpaid • CBP systems still contain IEEPA tariff numbers and edit checks • Programming updates will take time Stopping payment prematurely could create compliance risk. Refunds, when issued, will likely require formal action — potentially protests, post-summary corrections, or other ACE updates. Given the volume of entries involved, automatic refunds appear unlikely. Key Takeaways • IEEPA tariffs have been ruled unlawful for revenue purposes • Congress retains sole tariff authority • Operational changes will depend on CIT and CBP implementation • Continue paying duties until official guidance is issued • Refund mechanics remain unclear • Trade professionals must remain disciplined and patient Resources & Mentions • Global Training Center • TradeForce Multiplier • U.S. Supreme Court Opinion (24-1287) Credits Host: • Cindy Allen – LinkedIn • TradeForce Multiplier Producer: • Lalo Solorzano – LinkedIn Subscribe & Follow New episodes every Friday.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the broad tariffs President Donald Trump justified with national emergency powers — including the 35 per cent imposed on non-CUSMA-compliant Canadian goods — are illegal, leading Trump to immediately announce a global 10 per cent tariff through a different legal avenue. Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc responds to questions about whether Canada will still enjoy a CUSMA exemption by saying the U.S. never granted it 'because they want to be nice to us,' but because it's in the 'American economic interest.' Then, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith defends her plan for an October referendum that would ask about imposing fees and limitations on services for immigrants without certain statuses, as well as constitutional changes like abolishing the federal Senate.

Tony Keller, columnist at The Globe and Mail, joins Stephen LeDrew for a wide-ranging discussion on Canada's economic future, global trade, and the hard choices ahead.Keller explains the lesson behind Airbus – how smaller countries cooperated to compete against Boeing – and why that example is now being raised in Canadian policy discussions. The conversation explores whether Canada can realistically diversify its trade away from heavy reliance on the United States while remaining economically integrated with it.They also discuss Mark Carney's approach to cooperation among smaller economies, Canada's limited trade exposure to China, concerns around technology theft and surveillance, and whether carefully structured deals can avoid damaging Canada–U.S. relations.This is a grounded, pragmatic conversation about trade, sovereignty, and what economic survival actually looks like for Canada in the years ahead.Independent voices matter.

In this episode of Tank Talks, Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo rip through a stacked rundown of tech, venture capital, and geopolitical “sovereignty” theater. They open with Europe's accelerating shift away from Microsoft Office and big U.S. platforms toward open-source alternatives, then jump straight into a breaking change from Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan: Canada is back on the list of accepted incorporations, reversing a move that sparked serious backlash about Canadian startup brain drain and U.S.-domicile pressure.From there, they dissect Elon Musk's headline-grabbing SpaceX–xAI all-stock merger and why it looks way better for xAI holders than SpaceX shareholders ahead of a rumored SpaceX IPO window. The episode also digs into Canada's national AI consultation (and the government openly using multiple LLM providers like Cohere and OpenAI to process submissions), the EU's push for digital sovereignty (and the risks of swapping to “free” tools), and the brutal reality of AI-driven search gutting legacy media traffic, with the Washington Post laying off a third of its newsroom. The big throughline: information is cheap now, execution and trust are expensive, and countries (and companies) that don't adapt are about to get cooked.Y Combinator Reverses Course: Canada Back on the List (00:43)YC CEO Garry Tan adds Canada back to YC's list of accepted incorporation jurisdictions after removing it, triggering a wave of criticism. Matt and John break down what changed, why the original rationale (Canadian winners re-domiciling to the U.S.) was a flawed signal, and why the real issue is still Canadian capital formation and follow-on funding strength.SpaceX Buys xAI: A $1.25T Story Swap Before an IPO? (02:34)Matt tees up the shocker: SpaceX acquires xAI in an all-stock deal valuing xAI at $250B and SpaceX at $1T, creating a combined $1.25T entity. They discuss xAI's massive burn versus SpaceX's improving cash profile (driven by Starlink) and why this kind of move raises eyebrows heading into an IPO narrative.Second-Order Effects: When a Cash-Burning AI Company Merges Into Space Infrastructure (07:35)They debate whether this becomes a template for other pre-IPO restructures or stays a one-off “Elon special.” John says a Starlink-style consolidation would make strategic sense; folding in xAI doesn't feel like a choke-point win.Canada's AI Strategy Consultation: Government Using LLMs in the Workflow (09:10)Canada's ISED publishes a high-level summary of its AI consultation and explicitly notes using multiple LLMs and pipelines (including Cohere and OpenAI) to process massive public input. Matt frames this as a meaningful “government actually doing something” moment, even if the public is still anxious about jobs and privacy.Europe's Digital Sovereignty Push: Dropping Teams/Zoom for Open Source? (12:40)They react to reports of governments moving away from Teams/Zoom and Microsoft tooling in the name of sovereignty. Matt calls the open-source swap risky from a security and operational standpoint; John says the bigger signal is global: sovereignty is now a first-order priority, and Canada can't pretend this wave isn't coming.Washington Post Layoffs: AI Search Is Eating the Referral Economy (16:48)Matt highlights the Washington Post's reported search traffic collapse and layoffs impacting a third of the newsroom. John calls journalism an obvious early disruption target: LLMs compress content production costs, and the old newsroom pyramid doesn't match the new economics.The Survival Play: Media Becomes a Live Events Business (19:26)They land on the counter-move: stop fighting the trend and monetize what still works: brand, access, community, and in-person experiences. If content becomes commoditized, relationships and trust become the product.Connect with John Ruffolo on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/joruffoloConnect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Sylvain Charlebois deliver a wide-ranging discussion that connects Canadian food policy, trade risk, pricing power, and the accelerating role of AI in restaurants. The episode is anchored by a forward-looking interview with Deborah Matteliano Simeoni, Global Head of Restaurants at Amazon Web Services (AWS), recorded live at the NRF Big Show in New York.The first half of the episode focuses on the state of Canadian agriculture and food affordability. Sylvain shares firsthand insights from meetings with farmers across the Prairies, highlighting cautious optimism around renewed beef access to China alongside deep concern about U.S. trade policy and the durability of CUSMA. The hosts debate the federal government's grocery rebate program, questioning its long-term fiscal impact and contrasting it with a structural alternative: removing GST on food and foodservice to address affordability more directly.A key political and policy thread centers on Mark Wiseman, Canada's incoming Ambassador to the United States. Michael and Sylvain discuss Wiseman's previously published criticism of supply management, exploring whether his appointment signals potential pressure on the system during future Canada–U.S. trade negotiations—and whether Ottawa may ultimately position reforms as externally forced rather than domestically driven. The conversation situates supply management within broader competitiveness, trade credibility, and agri-food resilience debates.The hosts also examine PepsiCo's high-profile U.S. snack price reductions, questioning whether the move reflects margin recalibration, competitive signaling, or Super Bowl-era marketing—and why those cuts do not apply to Canada. Additional topics include the quiet disappearance of frozen orange juice concentrate, the continued normalization of food delivery, and why physical restaurants still matter as legitimizing anchors for digital-first and delivery-led food brands.The second half features an in-depth conversation with Deborah Matteliano Simeoni, who reframes AI not as an end goal, but as a tool for solving real restaurant challenges. Drawing on her experience launching Uber Eats and now advising global QSR brands at AWS, she explains how AI is improving drive-through accuracy, enhancing employee satisfaction, and enabling sophisticated personalization within loyalty ecosystems. Deborah emphasizes experimentation, data-driven learning, and customer-centric design as essential to scaling technology responsibly.Lastly we celebrate the Lobster Lady, still fishing at 101, leaving the earth at 103: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/business/virginia-oliver-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.J1A.q_7X.15lWPrsTltE7&smid=url-share About UsDr. Sylvain Charlebois is a Visiting Professor in Food Policy and Distribution at McGill University and a Professor in Food Distribution and Policy in the Faculty of Management at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

In this episode of Hope and Possibilities, I share a personal reflection on what's unfolding in the United States—and why it feels both shocking and familiar to me. I spent nearly 18 years in global financial services, 16 of them working closely with American clients, many based in Minnesota. That experience gave me an inside view of how U.S. systems shape people's daily lives—and where those systems quietly fail. Long before today's headlines, I began making deliberate choices to reduce American exposure in my work and center my career in Canada and other global contexts where values aligned more closely with mine. This episode isn't about blame. It's about perspective. I speak with deep respect for Americans—their decency, humor, and care—and with clarity about a hard truth: lasting change can only come from within. External voices have limits. Ownership matters. Drawing on professional experience, historical training, and family history shaped by wartime Europe, I reflect on why nostalgia is such a powerful force, why democratic pressure often looks uncomfortable, and why other countries are quietly recalibrating their relationship with the U.S. This is a reflection, not a prescription—an invitation to think more honestly about responsibility, leadership, and what it takes to shape what comes next.

A chance conversation set Jennifer Hyland on a path she never planned: from late‑20s recruit to deputy chief overseeing major crime, patrol, and the kind of cases that haunt even seasoned investigators. What she learned along the way isn't the hero myth. It's a set of grounded habits—judgment, restraint, and relentless investigation—that actually keep people safe and put predators behind bars.We start with the early years: the culture shock of patrol, the pressure to “prove” yourself, and the moment she stopped performing and started policing as herself. Jennifer explains why rookie placement matters more than tradition, how the RCMP's one‑size‑fits‑all training falls short across remote and urban posts, and why the real superpower in policing is casework that survives court, not muscle that wins a moment. She walks us through the split‑second call to disengage when instincts say a stop is about to turn, and we compare the very different risk signals created by Canada–U.S. gun laws.Then we go deep on leadership. Jennifer was pushed into promotion by a tyrannical boss and built her command style in reaction to that harm: show up in briefing, credit frontline work, bridge patrol and detectives, and use bodycam video for learning, not just blame. Her most gripping account centers on Canada's most infamous serial killer, Robert Pickton. As a patrol officer, she stopped him on the street while he hunted sex trade workers. Years later, her notes helped anchor testimony that tied the stop to a night of horrific violence. The takeaway is sobering: you don't “win” cases with force—you win them with trust, documentation, and patience.Finally, Jennifer shares why she wrote Tight Rope. A colleague once told her she seemed “perfect,” and that illusion kept others from stepping up or seeking help. So she broke the spell, writing about the quiet forms of PTSD, the loneliness of command, and the heartbreak of handing in a badge even when the job has taken its pound of flesh.

Encore Episode. The U.S. Ambassador to Canada was in Banff yesterday for what turned out to be a tense conversation with former Canadian diplomat Colin Robertson. The ambassador, a seasoned American politician, and Robertson, no stranger to Canada-U.S. relations, went at it over some of the things that have been said between the two countries this year. Chantal Hebert and Bruce Anderson have lots to say about it all, too. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When reporters asked Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson about the potential of more MPs crossing the floor to the Liberals on Monday, Hodgson hinted that he's getting 'lots of inquiries.' Former Liberal campaign co-chair David Herle and former Conservative chief of staff David McLaughlin break down whether Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's response to the crossings will be enough to shore up his caucus — and his future as leader. Plus, the Power Panel weighs in on new comments from Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc, who says the next direct U.S. engagement on trade likely won't be until the review of the North American free trade agreement.

President Donald Trump says the U.S. has a “tremendous” relationship with Canada — but for many Canadians, the bond with American friends and family might feel strained. Political divisions have led to awkward gatherings, muted conversations, and in some cases, skipping holiday visits altogether. Our question: Are you gathering with American friends or family over the holidays? How are the Canada–U.S. relationships going in your life?

The Trump administration is casting doubt on the future of the Canada/U.S./Mexico trade deal. A top official suggests the three-way pact could be replaced by separate bilateral deals — a change that would send shockwaves through the markets, businesses, and cause more uncertainty for the Canadian economy. It comes as all three countries prepare to review the deal starting next year.And: Quebec's anti-corruption police launch a criminal investigation after allegations of a cash-for-votes scheme among the provincial Liberal Party.Also: A serious and silly conversation with best-selling Canadian children's author Robert Munsch. He has dementia and Parkinson's disease and has been approved for medical assistance in dying. He talks to chief correspondent Adrienne Arsenault about what that means for him, and the plans for his legacy after he's gone.Plus: Bank of Canada rate holds steady, dangerous addition to street drug supply, Sophie Kinsella dies, and more.

The leaders of all three nations in the North American free trade deal spent more than an hour chatting and laughing in the stands of the FIFA World Cup draw on Friday, before Prime Minister Mark Carney, U.S. President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum retreated to a 45-minute private meeting without any staff. Prime Minister's Council on Canada-U.S. Relations member Jean Charest warns that Canada can 'expect a lot of posturing' like threats to abandon CUSMA from the U.S., but that patience and focus will preserve the deal. Plus, CBC's Peter Armstrong explains how a revision to Canada's economic data shows that growth has actually been better than previously thought.

What aboot Canada? Is Carney still popular? Has he pulled a Starmer of coming in with big fanfare and then flopping? Fortunately not! And with Mark Carney recently narrowly passing a budget, can Canada now play the role of the world's mega orderers? And with the Canada-U.S. relationship on the rocks and trade talks stalled, what does that mean for Canada's position in the world? To find out, Jason is joined by our returning champion, Marci Surkes. She is Chief Strategy Officer and Managing Director of Compass Rose and was formerly executive director of policy and cabinet affairs in Justin Trudeau's  Prime Minister's Office from 2019-2022. Jason and Marci discuss Prime Minister Mark Carney's leadership style, the recent surge in Canadian defense spending, and the ongoing trade war with the United States. Plus: the challenges Canada faces in diversifying its economy, and the implications of its historical reliance on the U.S.. And as they Order the Disorder, they focus on Canada's future role in global politics and the importance of unity within the country.

Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer tells Power & Politics he's optimistic about a thawing of the Canada-U.S. relationship after President Donald Trump cut off trade talks over an anti-tariff ad run by Ontario. Plus, Power & Politics asks Minister of International Trade Maninder Sidhu how Canada secured a $70-billion investment pledge from the U.A.E.

Our national affairs panel breaks down today's big vote in the House of Commons: With the Conservatives, Bloc Quebecois and NDP all finding reasons to vote it down, is there a risk this government falls and the country is thrust into another election? Plus, the Prime Minister will hold a call with Canada's premiers who are pressing for more details about the halted Canada-U.S. trade negotiations. We sift through it all with CBC's Chief Political Correspondent Rosemary Barton, Stephanie Levitz of the Globe and Mail and Ryan Tumilty of the Toronto Star.

It started with U.S. President Donald Trump's 'quips' about Canada becoming the 51st state. Nearly a year later, the Canada-U.S. relationship has weathered a barrage of tariffs, trade threats and taunts. CBC's Washington bureau — Paul Hunter, Katie Simpson and Willy Lowry — weigh in on the past year of Canada-U.S. relations under Trump, the current trade stalemate and whether the country that's been known as Canada's ally is even still a friend.

Canada-U.S. trade negotiations go off the rails after an anti-tariff ad angers Trump. Parties accuse each other of trying to force an election over the budget. And was Alberta justified in using the notwithstanding clause to get teachers back to work? Rosemary Barton hosts Chantal Hébert, Althia Raj and Jason Markusoff.
