NEW - Tariffs Over Smoke? Andrew Caddell Weighs In

California burns and Canada sends planes. Canada burns and the US threatens tariffs. Andrew Caddell digs into that double standard, plus the human causes behind fires most people assume are just bad luck, a barbecue that got away from someone, a lit tire tossed into the woods for fun. Caddell heard the Nova Scotia stories directly from firefighters at a convention, the kind of detail that never quite makes it into the news coverage. He also makes the case that Canada's sheer size, and the wood that comes with it, is something American softwood negotiators have never fully understood. Then the conversation turns to gambling. Lottery sales are dropping among young adults while sports betting ads are inescapable, and Caddell asks the question nobody in government seems eager to answer: where does that money actually go.
