Economist Trevor Tombe's analysis, using IMF data, shows Canada's GDP per capita dipped below Alabama's around 2023-2024, from about US$55,000 in 2022 to near $54,000-$55,000 now. Alabama's rise traces to 1990s incentives that attracted Mercedes, Honda, Hyundai, and others, building a major auto industry producing 1.2 million vehicles yearly, plus Huntsville's rocket and biotech boom, with unemployment at 2.7% versus Canada's 6.5%. Critics highlight Alabama's higher poverty, lower life expectancy of 74 years compared to Canada's 82, and other quality-of-life gaps, urging Canada to tackle immigration dilution, regulations, and productivity lags.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Imagine Alabama, once seen as one of America's poorest states, now outpacing Canada in GDP per capita. A Globe and Mail investigation uncovers how targeted strategies turned the tide.

Users on X are engaging in heated discussions triggered by a post from Tom London claiming overwhelming evidence of genocide in Gaza by Israel and equating its denial to Holocaust denial. Counterarguments reject the genocide label, attributing blame to Hamas for initiating the conflict and accusing critics of antisemitism or blood libel. The exchanges address distinctions between Judaism, Zionism, and Jewish support for Israel's right to exist, as well as the irrelevance of indigeneity claims to genocide definitions.

Finland's Teemu Selanne called the call 'absolutely embarrassing' with Canadian referees, though video review upheld the goal; Canada now faces the U.S. in Sunday's gold-medal clash.

He proposes adding permanent UN Security Council seats for underrepresented regions, ending veto power, and rebalancing IMF and World Bank voting to match today's economic realities. Drawing from Finland's NATO entry amid Russia's Ukraine invasion, Stubb urges a 'values-based realism' to rebuild shared norms and prevent wider conflicts.

The court ruled 6-3 that President Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose broad global tariffs after declaring emergencies on drugs and trade deficits. Businesses such as Learning Resources and V.O.S. Selections argued the tariffs hurt operations, and even Justices Gorsuch and Barrett joined the majority. Trump fired back calling the justices disloyal, then quickly imposed a new 10% tariff under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act; no refunds are planned for the $133 billion collected, though markets rose on the news.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Small businesses like a toy importer challenged Trump's emergency tariffs and won a stunning Supreme Court victory Friday. Chief Justice Roberts wrote that the law doesn't allow presidents to raise revenue that way—it's Congress's job.
