About this listen
Canada’s trade deficit with the rest of the world is the largest it's ever been. It’s the starkest indication of how tariffs from the U.S. are affecting Canada. Economists say the numbers are ugly, and could lead to months-long freefall.
And: Simmering tension between the president and Elon Musk has bubbled over. Donald Trump is now threatening to end all of Musk’s government contracts – which are worth billions. Musk says Trump would never have gotten elected without him.
And: Israel has recovered the body of Judih Weinstein and her husband. Weinstein is a Canadian, who grew up in Toronto. They were killed when Hamas invaded Israel on October 7, 2023. Their bodies were recovered from Khan Younis on Thursday.
Also: A newborn infected with measles has died. The baby’s mother had not been vaccinated. It’s the first death connected to Ontario’s measles outbreak, which has now passed two thousand probable and confirmed cases.
Plus: GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic and others) can increase the risk of vision loss for people with Type-2 Diabetes, reaction to Trump’s travel ban, and more.
