Canada Tariff Spike Adds New Trade Risk
Moves. The new rule makes it clear that any attempt to dodge the hike through rerouting gets punished hardera 40% transshipment tariff now kicks inwhile goods that still qualify under USMCA keep their preferred treatment. Trump didn't slam the door shut on talks; he even floated the idea of a conversation with Prime Minister Mark Carney later that night, so this is escalation with a sliver of a reset option.

The message from Washington frames the move as emergency action to force cooperation, but for markets it just added a fresh layer of political risk to the already tight cross-border trade relationship.
Companies with supply chains straddling the border now have to factor in uncertainty, and investors will be watching whether Ottawa responds, if talks ease the tension, or if this becomes a broader tit-for-tat episode.

"What The F**ck": People Are Losing Their Minds Over This Really, Really Bizarre AI Interview With A Dead Teenager From The Parkland Shooting
Former CNN host Jim Acosta faced backlash on Monday after sharing what he called a 'one-of-a-kind interview' with an AI version of Parkland school shooting victim Joaquin Oliver, a bot created by his parents to honor their son on what would have been his 25th birthday. The interview — shared to Acosta's SubStack page — depicts Oliver, one of 17 who died in the 2018 massacre, remarking on the cause of death and stressing why it's 'important' to talk about gun violence in schools. The AI — when asked for its 'solution' to gun violence — emphasized a need for a mix of stronger gun-control laws, mental health support and community engagement. Related: The bot of Oliver proceeded to speak in a noticeably higher tone before discussing the late teen's interests in the Miami Heat and Star Wars. Acosta — who declared that the technology left him 'speechless' — called the conversation 'so insightful,' telling the late teen's father, Manuel Oliver, that it felt like the first time he really got to know his son. 'I felt like I was communicating with him, which is just so remarkable,' Acosta said. 'People say, 'Well, AI, you know, it could be bad, it could cause all these destructive things.' This is an example of how it might actually do some good, it might help some people who have suffered tremendous losses like your family have a way to hold on to who this person was, which I think is a beautiful thing.' @JimAcosta Related: Manuel Oliver and his wife, Patricia Oliver — co-founders of the gun-control advocacy group Change the Ref — have been involved in other projects that demand action against gun violence, including a school shooting video game, a play and a site that uses AI to recreate victims' voices for calls to Congress. Manuel Oliver — in a video shared to X, formerly Twitter — acknowledged that the AI was his and his wife's idea, adding that Acosta shouldn't be blamed for 'what he was able to do' in the 'interview.' 'If the problem that you have is with the AI, then you have the wrong problem,' he said. 'The real problem is that my son was shot eight years ago. So if you believe that that is not the problem, you are part of the problem.' Related: While Acosta restricted those who could reply to his posts on X, it wasn't the same case on his BlueSky account, where a number of critics were stunned by the AI move. 'Hey Jim. Quick question. What the fuck is wrong with you,' replied one user. And, naturally, users on X had a lot to say regardless. Check out what users said on Bluesky and X below.

Amazon has had a strong second quarter due to its growth in North America and International divisions. AWS growth was not as hoped, highlighting the need to spend more money to allow AI and cloud growth which are currently at early stages.

We believe this should now be considered the quarterly run-rate going forward. Cash & cash equivalents of USD61.5bn were broadly in line after taking higher capex into account.' Inc.

Restaurant review: Naturally Pacific Resort elevates Campbell River's chic quotient
Carve Kitchen and Meatery at Naturally Pacific Resort Where: 700 Petersen Rd., Campbell River When: Breakfast, lunch, daily. Brunch on Saturdays. Info: 1-866-910-4567 So, he's showing off. What chef wouldn't? Chef Ryan Watson is super excited about the massive 15,000-square-foot on-site garden with a small orchard, an apiary, and a greenhouse big enough to house a couple of families. All he has to do is wish for ingredients and a pair of horticulturalists make it happen. 'But I'd gladly help,' he says. 'I have a gardening background.' Watson is the executive chef at the year-old Naturally Pacific Resort in Campbell River, elevating the city's allure and chic quotient by a lot. Travel and Leisure magazine included it in the 100 best new hotels of the year. It's owned by a family with deep roots in the community. The Mailman family has been in the construction and development business for more than three decades, but this is their first hospitality venture, and they've poured love and pride into the hometown project. Chef Watson oversees three restaurants at the resort. Carve Kitchen and Meatery, the flagship dining room, is elegant and art deco-lite in looks. Velocity Lounge is a casual sports lounge, adjacent to an 18-hole golf course, another Mailman family operation. It includes an eight-bay virtual driving range where, if you like, you can tee off at the famous St. Andrews Old Course. In summer, the Sunset Terrace patio by the pool is a third option, offering barbecued food and salads. Down the road, there'll be a conference centre at the resort with more mouths to feed. But, back to that garden. 'It's phenomenal,' Watson says of the green growing space. 'I've worked in a lot of places with gardens with a little bit of this and that, often herbs.' But nothing like this. 'Currently, we have 10 varieties of tomatoes, raspberries, varieties of peppers, sugar snap peas,' he said when I interviewed him. 'Whatever's not grown on our property, we can find between here and Duncan. For example, our kennebec potatoes are from Echo Valley Farms (in Qualicum).' Hotel operations are second nature to him, having worked at the Banff Springs Hotel, Delta Marriott in Fredericton, Fairmont Hotel Macdonald in Edmonton, and Chateau Lake Louise. He has a solid cooking background and his know-how is evident. Don't let 'carvery and meatery' in the restaurant name confuse you. The menu is well-rounded with a lot of local sustainable seafood dishes. But yes, there are a few steaks and prime rib on Sundays. Butchery is his 'big passion,' Watson says. 'There's minimal waste that way. Fat is turned into tallow for our whipped potatoes and brushed over every steak; trim from steaks is ground up for burgers. Nothing goes in the bin except silverskin,' he says. And so it goes with vegetable scraps. The trim is used for pestos, soups, or pickles. Chicken bones and feet go into stock. Thus, there's a soup du jour on the menu. When I visited in late spring, our charismatic server announced the soup du jour was asparagus and apple 'biskwee' and it took a couple of beats before I realized he'd tripped over the vagaries of English. The bisque was velvety and delicious. For dinner, there's a choice of à la carte or a $63 three-course prix fixe menu, which changes up monthly. A Caesar salad on the prix fixe differed from the one on the à la carte. Whole heirloom baby gem romaine leaves stood in for torn romaine leaves and, instead of the usual croutons, a couple of toasted croissant slices, sourced from a local bakery. That bakery, Freyja, also supplies the burger buns and sourdough bread. If visiting Campbell River, scribble a note to self and stop by this Scandinavian-style croissant shop. And for that matter, add Shelter Point Distillery — their delicious whiskies have won gold at the Canadian Whisky Awards, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and the World Whiskies Awards. Back at Carve, my husband sliced into his thick, California-cut, eight-ounce striploin (the beef is all triple-A, from Alberta). 'Mmmmm,' he sighed. It was juicy, grilled just right, and emphatically meaty. 'It plates nicer,' Watson says of the robust cut. It was served with asparagus and tomatoes from a few yards away, and local potatoes. My buttermilk fried chicken, marinated in buttermilk and hot sauce, was moist and flavourful. It was jacketed in thick, crunchy batter with a hint of sweet from the addition of crushed Frosted Flakes. 'The sugar caramelizes when deep fried,' says Watson. The sweet crust didn't work for me. A cornmeal crunch might have aligned with the accompanying polenta made creamy with local cheddar. I didn't try the onion rings but they sound decadently delicious. Thick-cut rings are stuffed with duck confit, frozen, then battered and deep-fried and served with tomato jam and pickled veg. Perhaps another dish in that category is pork belly and scallop with stout demi-glace, corn purée, blackened corn salsa, blistered tomatoes and chicharron. For dessert, the bestseller crème brûlée wasn't too sweet (often it is, for me) and on point. The wine list matches the kitchen's ambitions with a wide variety of styles and price points. B.C. is well represented, including pours from Vancouver Island's own 40 Knots and Alderlea wineries. There are also quality wines from France, Italy and other global producers.
