Tariff deadline, Meta sued, Caitlin Clark, and more

About this episode

Down-to-the-wire: Trade talks between Ottawa and Washington intensify as the deadline for U.S.-imposed tariffs is just hours away. 


And: A multi-billion-dollar lawsuit is accusing Meta of trying to get children addicted to its social media platforms. The tech giant is pushing back, saying it was always honest, and had safeguards to protect minors. The lawyer for four U.S. states says Meta’s strategy was clear: “Hook the users.” 


Also: The fame of Caitlin Clark has expanded the reach of the WNBA. She draws massive crowds. But that intense spotlight has pushed her into a culture war that Clark never asked for. 


Plus: How businesses are navigating the new-normal of U.S. tariffs, new route to connect Nunavut and N.W.T., women’s baseball in full swing, and more.
