Some Canadians are boycotting U.S. products in protest of looming tariffs

In protest of President Donald Trump's impending tariffs, some Canadians have started to boo the U.S. national anthem at professional athletic events and boycott American goods. Pierre Oliver, one of the many irate citizens of the U.S. ally country, expressed his frustration on Sunday by responding to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's appeal to prioritize purchasing Canadian goods in retribution for Trump's executive order imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. Oliver, a 67-year-old business owner from Ontario, added, "It's a drop in the bucket." However, it's our only option. Trump declared on Saturday that imports from Canada and Mexico would be subject to a 25% duty, with the exception of Canadian energy items, which would be subject to a 10% tariff.

Trump and leaders of Canada and Mexico say tariffs will be delayed one month after talks

President Donald Trump agreed to postpone the 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico for a month after leaders of both countries announced steps to increase border security. This prevented, at least for the time being, tariffs that could have increased prices for American consumers and slowed down the economies of both countries. In an effort to curb the flow of fentanyl, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on social media Monday afternoon that his country will be investing $1.3 billion in a plan to fortify its border with more troops, equipment, and helicopters.At the end of last year, Canada announced its $1.3 billion investment in immigration and the border.

White House says Elon Musk serving as a ‘special government employee’

Washington Elon Musk is a "special government employee," according to a White House official, working for the Trump administration. With this status, Musk, the tech entrepreneur and ardent Trump supporter whom Trump has sent on a federal government cost-cutting mission, is neither a full-time employee nor a volunteer. workers of special government are expected to adhere to ethical and conflict of interest rules that are often less stringent than those of federal workers. Some of the disclosure requirements for full-time positions are circumvented because it is a temporary post. Musk was appointed head of Trump's "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE), an advising commission outside the government. The Congressional Research Service reports that special federal employees are constrai...

MLB umpire fired for sharing gambling account with friend who bet on baseball

Major League Baseball fired umpire Pat Hoberg on Monday for purposefully erasing electronic messages related to the league's investigation and for sharing his legal sports gambling accounts with a friend who bet on baseball games. Hoberg did not officiate last season, and the sports book alerted MLB to the matter, which prompted the league to launch an inquiry in February. On May 24, MLB senior vice president of on-field operations Michael Hill suggested that Hoberg be dismissed, despite MLB claiming the investigation found no proof that Hoberg directly wagered on baseball or affected games. On Monday, Commissioner Rob Manfred declared that he had upheld Hill's ruling. Hoberg is eligible to ask for reinstatement no early than 2026 spring training, and he is one of the best umpires at estim...

American Airlines engine and fuselage lifted from Potomac in effort to recover all victims of D.C. midair collision

American Airlines Flight 5432's fuselage and engine were lifted out of the Potomac River on Monday, starting the difficult task of clearing the remaining debris after a military helicopter struck it and crashed last Wednesday. In order to recover all 67 people who perished in the airborne accident in the Washington, D.C., region, officials believe what's left of the jet must be removed from the crash site. According to officials, the effort started at daylight on Monday. At a press conference on Sunday, D.C. Fire and EMS Chief John Donnelly stated, "We're going to recover everyone." The bodies of 55 victims have so far been positively identified. "If we knew where they were, though, we would already have them out, so we have some work to do as the salvage operation goes on, and we will abs...
