Donald Trump's Liberation Day has unleashed a suite of tariffs on the world, but Canada has escaped any additional ones. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath examine what effect the tariffs Canada is facing are having on the economy.

A former executive assistant to Premier Doug Ford violated the province's lobbying rules, according to Integrity Commissioner J. David Wake. The violations occurred during lobbying for clients' land to be removed from the Greenbelt.

Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath examine the latest chapter in the Greenbelt scandal and the implications for the RCMP investigation into it.
