In this episode, we break down President Donald Trump’s latest move to end trade negotiations with Canada over their soon-to-be-implemented Digital Services Tax. The tension comes as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney commits 5% of the country’s GDP to defense spending — a bold NATO-wide push aimed at securing Trump’s support for Article 5. Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court sparks fresh controversy by ruling that parents can opt their children out of school programs featuring LGBT storybooks, raising questions about education, rights, and representation. We also explore the key differences between stress and anxiety, offering practical coping mechanisms to help navigate today’s mental health challenges.

In sports, the NBA offseason has exploded with massive trades — Kevin Durant is now a Houston Rocket, Lonzo Ball lands in Cleveland, and the Toronto Raptors have shockingly parted ways with Masai Ujiri. Their newest draft pick is already stirring headlines with his less-than-enthusiastic reaction to being selected. On a more positive note, Canadian athletes are dominating the sports world — with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander joining a growing list of Finals MVPs across the NBA, NHL, and MLB. Plus, John Tavares takes a major hometown discount to help the Leafs chase the Stanley Cup.

Off-topic, we dive into the growing controversy around Diljit Dosanjh’s latest film, which is being blocked from screening in India. Also, Jeff Bezos just tied the knot with Lauren Sanchez in a wedding surrounded by luxury and protests in Venice. And Prada’s latest sandal drop has the fashion world buzzing so we will give our take. Make sure to stay for the questions segment at the end!
