How do you stop employees from constantly relying on you for the answers and start building a team of independent problem solvers? The secret is adopting a mentor mindset and treating leadership as coaching instead of answer-giving. In this episode of Boss Better Now, Joe Mull concludes a special four-part series adapted from his live workshops on accountability in leadership. He reveals the hidden cost of giving employees the answers and the exact coaching questions to ask instead, so you build critical thinking skills and stop creating employee dependency. Too many managers prioritize speed and end up doing the thinking for their team. Joe shares the coaching tips and scripts that reverse this, including one question that shifts how employees think, owns problems, and activates their capability. He also breaks down a simple, science-backed way to give feedback to employees that makes them dramatically more receptive to constructive criticism, using high standards paired with a statement of belief in their potential. What to Expect in This Episode: The Conclusion of the Accountability Tightrope: Two mentor mindset techniques you can use today. Why Giving Answers Creates Employee Dependency: How constantly solving problems robs your team of the chance to feel capable. The Ultimate Leadership Coaching Question: Why asking "What options do you see?" shifts the brain and activates ownership. The Real Definition of Workplace Coaching: Helping people sort through what they already know instead of telling them the right way to do it. The 19-Word Feedback Script: A science-backed technique that makes employees more receptive to constructive criticism. Applying Wise Feedback at Work: Real stories of leaders pairing high standards with belief statements to fix performance issues without defensiveness.Tune in to master the mentor mindset, get your time back, and build a team that thrives on ownership. If you want to become a better leader, this episode gives you the exact scripts to start with.

Today we're talking with Pete Peterson, a man who has spent much of his career at the intersection of story, faith, theater, and the arts. Pete is a playwright, publisher, and one of the central figures in The Rabbit Room since its earliest days, working with his brother Andrew Peterson to turn a small online community into a thriving center for books, music, theater, and other arts. The Rabbit Room has grown from a small experiment in creative community into a remarkable organization encompassing books, music, theater, podcasts, conferences, and North Wind Manor. Pete served for seven years as its executive director, helping guide that growth, and today serves as publisher of Rabbit Room Press and artistic director of Rabbit Room Theatre. But Pete is also a storyteller in his own right. Writing under the name A. S. Peterson, he is the author of The Fiddler's Gun and Fiddler's Green, and he has written extensively for the stage. His plays include The Battle of Franklin, a Civil War musical; an acclaimed adaptation of Frankenstein; and The Hiding Place, based on Corrie ten Boom's story. His work as a playwright has earned both critical recognition and awards. Perhaps nowhere, though, has Pete's particular combination of literary taste, artistic ambition, and entrepreneurial nerve been more visible than at Rabbit Room Press. The press has built a reputation for publishing beautiful, distinctive books that don't fit neatly into conventional categories—and in 2026 it struck publishing gold with British poet and priest Malcolm Guite's Galahad and the Grail. The book became Rabbit Room Press's biggest launch ever, reaching the Top 50 of Amazon's overall books chart, selling out at Amazon, and later winning the 2026 Parnassus Prize. So today, we're going to talk about books, publishing, theater, and what it takes to convince modern readers that great literature still matters.

Im April 2005 erscheint mit Psychonauts das Debütwerk von Tim Schafers Studio Double Fine Productions: ein 3D-Plattformer für Xbox, PC und PS2, der von der Fachpresse gefeiert wird, im Handel zunächst floppt und erst über die Jahre zum gefeierten Kultklassiker avanciert. Als junger Zirkusartist Raz taucht man in die Psyche skurriler Charaktere ein, um deren Neurosen und Ängste in herrlich abgedrehten Gedankenwelten aufzulösen. Chris und Fabian beleuchten, wie clever das Leveldesign mit den Traumata der Figuren verwoben ist und was den bissigen Humor ausmacht. Mithilfe von Popkulturexperte Christian Beuster ordnen sie den Stil im Zeitgeist der frühen 2000er ein und zeichnen die turbulente Entwicklungsgeschichte von den LucasArts-Wurzeln über wechselnde Publisher bis hin zum heutigen Kultstatus nach.

Jonathan Miltimore discusses the ongoing imprisonment of 79-year-old pro-democracy publisher Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong, calling it the world's most overlooked story. Miltimore expresses his deep disappointment that Donald Trumpfailed to raise Lai's case publicly during his Beijing trip, instead repeating CCP rhetoric that Lai caused "bedlam." He describes Lai's deteriorating health inside his tiny, unventilated six-foot cell and urges President Trump to pressure Xi Jinping during his upcoming U.S. visit. Miltimore notes that even certain CCP factions want Lai released to avoid international outrage if he dies in prison, emphasizing that Lai is fully prepared for potential martyrdom. (4)

The hosts discuss confusion caused by Microsoft's email warning that Publisher will end in October 2026 and urging users to convert files to PDF. Jerry shares how he's been using AI—especially Claude (and sometimes ChatGPT)—to speed up IT work: creating an Addigy printer pool by assigning static IPs to flaky Brother network printers, analyzing Mac logs with Claude to find a runaway Chrome render process causing memory pressure, and using the Quitter app to auto-quit Chrome as a workaround for battery and performance issues. He also describes fixing a weak UniFi doorbell connection by creating a 2.4GHz-only SSID and broadcasting it on multiple access points. The conversation broadens to AI guardrails, environmental and economic concerns, and social impacts. They cover security-minded IoT network segmentation, Sonos reliability, a client scare about entering a Mac password prompted by Touch ID autofill in private browsing, RingCentral sidebar customization, presbyopia eye drops, and phone accessory tips including ESR screen protectors, Spigen cases, camera lens vulnerability, battery health, and pros/cons of Apple's iPhone Upgrade Program.   00:00 Podcast Kickoff Banter 00:19 Microsoft Publisher Panic 01:39 AI Fixes Printer Deployments 04:19 Claude Reads Mac Logs 05:53 Quitter App Chrome Workaround 08:14 AI Ethics and Guardrails 12:07 AI Economy Bubble Talk 16:03 UniFi Doorbell WiFi Fix 20:23 IoT Networks and VLAN Trust 25:00 Sonos Reliability Updates 28:12 Experian Password Scare 30:06 Touch ID Prompts Confuse Users 32:00 V-Neck and Beard Side Chat 32:18 Beard and Shirt Banter 32:54 Eye Drops for Presbyopia 35:23 Screen Reflections on Calls 37:11 RingCentral Sidebar Hack 39:21 Best Budget Screen Protectors 41:58 Do You Even Need Protectors 44:27 Cracked Camera Lens Mystery 47:06 Battery Health and Upgrade Temptation 52:07 iPhone Upgrade Program Debate 57:54 Wrap Up and Sign Off

Children's fiction studio founder Jasmine Richards (Storymix), publisher Natalie Doherty (Puffin and HarperCollins Children's Books), and bestselling author Soman Chainani (The School for Good and Evil) on shaping an idea commercial enough to sell, what makes a children's book impossible to put down, and trusting the unconscious to write it.   You'll learn Why the most commercial idea is the one that centres its reader from the very first thought. How a single pithy log line can carry a book all the way from the slush pile to the playground. The counterintuitive trick of starting your story at chapter three. How to read what children are reading now so your pacing keeps up with theirs. What a publisher is really looking for when a manuscript lands on the desk — and why voice comes before plot. How the categories from early readers to YA actually break down on the bookshop shelf. The difference between weaving in a message and writing a book that feels worthy. The case for never self-censoring in a first draft, and saving the negotiation for later. How tiring out your conscious mind can unlock a freer, more instinctive way to draft. Why the goal of writing should be the writing itself, not the bestseller list.   Episode Links #050: Jasmine Richards — How to Pitch Commercial Children's Fiction & The Business of Children's Publishing #081: Natalie Doherty — The Magic of Writing for Children, Market Trends & Behind the Scenes of Publishing Children's Books #035: Soman Chainani — Writing Dark Tales for Children & Balancing Creative Work with Discipline   About the Guests Jasmine Richards is the author of over a dozen children's books, ranging from picture books to teen fiction.

Podcasting 2.0 August 14th 2026 Episode 267 - "Chocolove" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00 - THE SPOTIFY "SKIP AHEAD" BUTTON — THE BIG ONE What it is: Spotify is testing a button that appears on the playback screen the moment it thinks you'd want to skip — an intro, a sponsorship message, or an entire ad break. It is bigger than everything else on screen. One tap drops you at the end of the break, back in the show. Premium subscribers only, selected markets including US and UK, and only when the app is in the foreground. Who broke it: James Cridland at Pod News, 4 August 2026 — an exclusive. Spotify never announced it. Semafor and most of the trade press picked it up afterwards; Cridland noted on air this week that some of them ran it without credit. The number that makes it different from a skip button: Cridland's arithmetic — skipping a typical ad break by hand is nine presses of the 15-second button, plus a correction tap when you overshoot. Skip Ahead is one. "Some people have said, oh, but you've been able to skip for years and this is no different. But a button that only appears when it's stuff that Spotify thinks you should be skipping is a start." It skips other people's money: the button fires on third-party ads — Acast, Odyssey, the New York Times — and on ads inside Spotify's own shows. It even skipped Search Engine's read for its own paid tier, PJ Vogt pitching Incognito Mode. One half of Spotify sells advertisers reach; the other half hands listeners a button to leave. Spotify's answer, and the trapdoor in it: Spotify told Cridland it is "not affecting ad delivery." True only if delivery means to the device. Cridland: "If ad delivery is to the listener's ear, which is actually what people are paying for..." — the download still counts, the ad still gets billed, the human never hears it. Spotify's other defence: the button merely shows where other listeners already skip. Cridland: "I'm not entirely sold on that, but if that's what Spotify say, I mean they wouldn't lie."

Amidst heightened rhetoric and increasing polarization in the United States, American Pogroms: How Forgotten Massacres Shape America (Oxford University Press, 2026) chronicles the causes and consequences of two centuries of mob violence in American history, highlighting exactly what's at stake when we allow leaders to legitimate violence and the mob to rule. For much of American history, members of the majority population of the United States indiscriminately attacked and terrorized minority communities. In some parts of the country, mob violence seemed a near-constant part of the region's history, while in others it was a brief, horrific spasm that perpetrators--but not victims--quickly forgot. In American Pogroms, terrorism expert Daniel Byman argues that there is a word for this type of communal violence: pogrom. Although pogroms are historically associated with the orchestrated campaigns of anti-Jewish violence in Tsarist Russia, Byman asserts that pogroms have been an all-too-frequent feature of American history. Tracing two centuries of communal violence, Byman recounts cases of attacks against American religious minorities such as Catholics and Mormons, the killing of thousands of ethnic Mexicans in Texas, the murder and wholesale expulsion of Chinese workers from the American West, and the repeated attacks on the Black community that killed thousands and enabled decades of brutal discrimination. In all these cases, pogroms helped cement a system of injustice that left religious, ethnic, and racial minorities politically and economically marginalized. While the idea of mob violence now strikes most Americans as unthinkable, Byman warns that increased polarization and selective news consumption in recent years has coarsened discourse and legitimized violence, raising the risk that at least some violence will return.

Amidst heightened rhetoric and increasing polarization in the United States, American Pogroms: How Forgotten Massacres Shape America (Oxford University Press, 2026) chronicles the causes and consequences of two centuries of mob violence in American history, highlighting exactly what's at stake when we allow leaders to legitimate violence and the mob to rule. For much of American history, members of the majority population of the United States indiscriminately attacked and terrorized minority communities. In some parts of the country, mob violence seemed a near-constant part of the region's history, while in others it was a brief, horrific spasm that perpetrators--but not victims--quickly forgot. In American Pogroms, terrorism expert Daniel Byman argues that there is a word for this type of communal violence: pogrom. Although pogroms are historically associated with the orchestrated campaigns of anti-Jewish violence in Tsarist Russia, Byman asserts that pogroms have been an all-too-frequent feature of American history. Tracing two centuries of communal violence, Byman recounts cases of attacks against American religious minorities such as Catholics and Mormons, the killing of thousands of ethnic Mexicans in Texas, the murder and wholesale expulsion of Chinese workers from the American West, and the repeated attacks on the Black community that killed thousands and enabled decades of brutal discrimination. In all these cases, pogroms helped cement a system of injustice that left religious, ethnic, and racial minorities politically and economically marginalized. While the idea of mob violence now strikes most Americans as unthinkable, Byman warns that increased polarization and selective news consumption in recent years has coarsened discourse and legitimized violence, raising the risk that at least some violence will return.

Are you managing your team just for today's results, or are you investing in their long term career growth? The most effective leaders know how to do both by adopting a mentor mindset. In this episode of Boss Better Now, Joe Mull continues his special summer series on the accountability tightrope. Listen in as he breaks down part three of the framework, revealing how to perfectly balance high performance standards with high employee support. Many managers struggle with onboarding and feedback, often resorting to assigning grunt work or trying to prevent every mistake. Joe shares a powerful example of what a perfect first day conversation looks like to set the stage for success. He details exactly how to shift into a mentor mindset where you assign real work of consequence, reframe mistakes as growth, and build deep employee commitment through earned prestige. What to Expect in This Episode: What is the Accountability Tightrope?: Joe recaps the core challenge of balancing high standards with supportive workplace relationships. The Perfect First Day Conversation: How to script a welcome message that builds trust and sets a standard of excellence right from the start. Defining the Mentor Mindset at Work: Why the best managers see people for their potential and focus on long term career growth over daily tasks. Stop Giving New Hires Grunt Work: How assigning work of consequence builds skill, confidence, and early contribution. How to Reframe Mistakes and Failure: Why great leaders coach thinking and judgment instead of just handing out all the answers. The Script for Difficult Feedback: How to frame tough performance conversations around an employee's potential so they feel supported instead of attacked. Building Employee Commitment through Earned Prestige: The psychological building block that gives employees a sense of worth and turns a new hire into a highly committed team member.

Power, water and local resistance may reshape the map, but Major says demand for data centers and high-capacity fiber is not slowing down. By Douglas Green, Publisher, Technology Reseller News AI is creating a new infrastructure race – but the winners may be determined as much by power, water and fiber as by demand for compute. FiberLight CEO Bill Major says growing community resistance is unlikely to stop the data center buildout, but it will increasingly determine where projects can realistically move forward. Major sees a familiar pattern from the early cell-tower era: people wanted mobile service, but often resisted the towers needed to provide it. The same tension is now emerging around AI. Bill Major “The data centers are coming,” Major said. Communities may slow, reshape or redirect projects, but he does not expect demand to disappear. Power has become one of the biggest constraints. Developers are looking at markets with available generation, land and water, while some are considering behind-the-meter or self-generation options when grid capacity is tight. That could give regions with existing energy infrastructure a major advantage in the next phase of AI development. Fiber is just as critical. Major said hyperscalers, neocloud providers and AI companies are demanding far more capacity, pushing FiberLight toward larger duct banks, more conduit and substantial dedicated fiber builds. Increasingly, connectivity has to be ready before a tenant arrives. “Speed to market is critical right now as we continue this race for AI dominance,” he said. Major has also changed his view on how long the boom will last. A year ago, he expected AI infrastructure spending to begin slowing in the second half of 2028. He no longer believes that. “This isn't slowing down in 2028,” Major said. “It's a once-in-a-lifetime generational opportunity for businesses, for tradesmen, et cetera.” His larger point is simple: AI infrastructure is not only a data center story. It is a power, fiber and regional-development story – and the markets that can combine energy with high-capacity connectivity will be best positioned for what comes next. Visit www.fiberlight.com

EPISODE 751 - Jack Valerio - The Recipe to breaking down complex ideas into clear, practical steps - Uncommon Sense and Guaranteed GourmetIn this episode, Dave sits down with author and lifelong educator Jack Valerio for a lively, deeply personal conversation about growth, mindset, and the power of thinking differently. Speaking from his home in Florida, Jack brings his unmistakable New York voice and perspective to a discussion that blends storytelling, life lessons, and practical philosophy.Jack's journey is anything but conventional. From a struggling student who fell behind early in life to a career educator who taught across multiple disciplines, his path is defined by overcoming limitations. That same theme carries into his personal life, where he didn't begin dancing until his fifties, only to become a professional salsa dancer and instructor. Later, he discovered a passion for cooking in his sixties and is now writing multiple cookbooks. His message is clear: ability often follows belief, not the other way around.At the core of the conversation is the concept behind his book on uncommon sense. Jack challenges the idea that common sense is reliable, arguing that widely accepted beliefs are often flawed or misunderstood. Instead, he encourages listeners to pause, question assumptions, and think independently, especially in moments when everyone else seems to agree. Through vivid stories, he illustrates how simple shifts in thinking can unlock solutions that others overlook.Jack also shares his approach to writing and creating. Using AI as a collaborative tool, he describes a disciplined and highly iterative process built on constant refinement, feedback, and self-awareness. His background in education shapes his philosophy, emphasizing that learning never stops and that adapting to change is essential at any age.Beyond writing, Jack applies his principles to his cookbooks, aiming to remove confusion and guarantee results for readers. His focus is not just on what to do, but how and why, reinforcing his belief that clarity and understanding lead to confidence.Throughout the episode, Jack's energy and honesty shine through. Whether discussing personal transformation, creative work, or the importance of action, he consistently returns to one idea: people are not stuck, they are simply thinking like everyone else.Key Takeaway:Real change begins when you challenge what feels obvious. By choosing to think differently, act decisively, and stay open to learning, you can unlock abilities and opportunities that once felt out of reach.https://www.jackvalerio.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

EPISODE 750 - Lauren Kristen Roberts - Gemini Divided, The Breadcrumb Game, Fan Fiction Writing and Author TipsAuthor and self-published novelist Lauren Roberts joins us from Northern Virginia to share the winding journey behind her books, her business decisions as an indie author, and the family support that keeps her stories moving forward. She talks about the many places she has lived, raising three teenagers and a dog named Thor, and how superhero fandom and comic books show up in her household culture as naturally as books do.Lauren pulls back the curtain on the economics of self-publishing, explaining how word count, print costs, trim size, and paper choices all influence the final price of a book and the profit an author can reasonably expect. She describes learning that two novels with very different lengths were earning her different margins despite having the same list price, and how that realization is shaping her approach to her third book. She also explores the intangible impact of a cover that truly fits the genre, acknowledging that while she outsources cover design, a strong visual first impression is crucial for attracting the right readers.Marketing, for Lauren, is as hands-on as her writing. She keeps inventory in her office so she can sell signed copies at craft fairs, book events, and any local venue willing to host an author table, often driving up to two hours to meet new readers. Her books are distributed through IngramSpark to online retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and she has personally approached independent bookstores to get copies onto shelves.Lauren's path into fiction began during a lonely season in Virginia Beach, when she was home with three young children, working part-time and craving something creative of her own. She rediscovered writing through fanfiction, using beloved TV series like AMC's “The Killing” and NBC's “Blindspot” as playgrounds for practice and experimentation. That fanfiction habit, combined with her husband's suggestion to create original work she could monetize, led to a framework and characters that eventually became her debut novel.In Gemini Divided, readers meet Jen, a former military operative working as an assassin to pay for her mother's chemotherapy. The job fills her with guilt, but she sees no other way to cover the medical bills. Her double life becomes untenable when she is assigned to eliminate her favorite TV actor, the very person she secretly writes fanfiction about. Lauren explains how early drafts lacked a clear reason for Jen's choices, and how feedback from her own mother forced her to create an emotional and moral foundation that would keep readers invested in a morally complicated heroine.Her second novel, The Breadcrumb Game, follows Ella, whose house explodes just as she checks the mail, forcing her into an uneasy partnership with a grumpy FBI agent. As they race to learn who is trying to kill her and why, Ella's childhood “breadcrumb game” with her estranged sister becomes a key to deciphering clues only she can recognize. Lauren hints at a shared universe between The Breadcrumb Game and Gemini Divided, with subtle nods that reward readers who pick up both books without requiring a specific reading order.https://laurenkristenroberts.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Gregory Copley, Publisher of Defense & Foreign Affairs, analyzes global efforts to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, noting that Russia and China are seeking alternative trade corridors to undermine Washington's strategic influence. He suggests China is using current tensions to project American impotence before high-level diplomatic visits. Copley also discusses the "war on food" in the Black Sea, where blockades are forcing a diversification of global supplies. Turning to Ethiopia, he describes a brutal civil conflict involving ethnic factions and the use of Turkish drones against civilian targets. He concludes with the success of King Charles III at the Commonwealth Games. (5)1897 ETHIOPIA

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW.  8-4-2026.1900 ST. LAWRENCEColonel Jeff McCausland, United States Army (Retired), discusses the critical depletion of United States missile stockpiles, particularly Patriot and THAAD systems, due to the intensifying war with Iran. He notes that these shortages might force a transition toward piloted bombing missions using heavy aircraft like the B-2 and B-52 for deep penetration. Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, McCausland highlights that Iran's ability to deploy sea mines and drones makes military reopening difficult. Turning to Ukraine, he predicts Vladimir Putin will escalate through mobilization rather than negotiation as both sides increasingly target food supplies in the Black Sea. (1)Judy Dempsey, Senior Scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, describes a Europe struggling with record heat, wildfires, and critically low river levels that are hampering nuclear power and agriculture. She argues these patterns reflect a deteriorating climate requiring a global response. The conversation shifts to a massive migration incident where 60,000 young men attempted to enter a Spanish exclave from Morocco. Dempsey explains that this surge is being exploited by far-right parties across Europe, such as the AfD in Germany, who capitalize on voter dissatisfaction. She notes that despite bilateral labor agreements, the political fallout is fueling nationalism. (2)Joseph Sternberg, Editorial Board Member of the Wall Street Journal, examines the release of Dr. Anthony Fauci's pandemic-era diaries, which reveal a dichotomy between his private doubts and public pronouncements regarding COVID-19's origins. Sternberg suggests Fauci became pathologically obsessed with his media coverage, positioning himself as an antagonist to Donald Trump to maintain his "star" status. The discussion also covers the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Sternberg notes that young voters, disillusioned by the economy, are increasingly drawn to the DSA's radical, government-led solutions. He questions whether this movement can succeed in purple states. (3)Jonathan Schanzer, Executive Director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, discusses the alarming shortage of US defensive munitions needed to intercept Iranian threats. He notes that Iran, coached by Russia and China, is exploiting this crisis to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and drive up energy prices. Schanzer also addresses the significant weakening of Hezbollah after sustained Israeli operations and the complexities of disarming Hamas in Gaza. He highlights that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu faces a political tightrope balancing military goals with international pressure. Finally, he observes the unraveling of Chinese-brokered agreements as Houthi threats against Saudi Arabia resurface. (4)Gregory Copley, Publisher of Defense & Foreign Affairs, analyzes global efforts to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, noting that Russia and China are seeking alternative trade corridors to undermine Washington's strategic influence. He suggests China is using current tensions to project American impotence before high-level diplomatic visits. Copley also discusses the "war on food" in the Black Sea, where blockades are forcing a diversification of global supplies. Turning to Ethiopia, he describes a brutal civil conflict involving ethnic factions and the use of Turkish drones against civilian targets. He concludes with the success of King Charles III at the Commonwealth Games. (5)Bill Roggio and Bridget Toomey of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies discuss the Houthis' re-entry into the regional war by declaring a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea. Roggio criticizes the Trumpadministration's lack of a forceful military response, arguing that two US destroyers are insufficient to secure vital waterways. Toomey explains that the Houthis use these attacks to re-establish domestic norms and pressure the global oil market. They note that while the Houthis operate independently, their actions align with Iranian goals to use control over maritime chokepoints as a strategic "nuclear weapon." (6)Andrea Stricker, Deputy Director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, outlines the proliferation risks associated with a proposed US-Saudi nuclear cooperation agreement. She expresses concern over uranium enrichment on Saudi soil, which could enable a nuclear weapons pathway. Stricker warns that granting enrichment rights would destroy the "gold standard" for non-proliferation and likely trigger a nuclear arms race involving Turkey and Egypt. Although President Trump has added caveats regarding the Abraham Accords, Saudi Arabia has threatened to turn to China for technology. Stricker notes the deal faces a difficult 90-day congressional review starting in September. (7)Conrad Black, distinguished biographer and National Post columnist, discusses the "aberrant" trade tensions between the US and Canada following the imposition of tariffs based on allegations of forced labor in Chinese imports. Black argues these tariffs are a legal workaround for the Trump administration to bypass the Supreme Court by declaring a national emergency. He characterizes the policy as arbitrary and offensive, noting it has dampened cross-border tourism and led to retaliatory tariffs on items like hockey sticks. Despite the current friction, Black remains optimistic that the dispute will be resolved through negotiation because he believes President Trump fundamentally likes Canada. (8)
