Canada is once again the focus of the new US administration. The threat of tariffs lingers, and there's a more sinister suggestion of border changes around the Great Lakes. Is Canada being pushed to become the 51st state?


Forecasts for recession in the United States are picking up, driven by the government slowdown. The new administration is talking about excluding the government from its GDP calculation. But does this really work?


The Irish housing crisis continues to bubble in the background amid all this global tension. David has a new article in the Irish independent on the topic of RPZ rent controls. We discuss the merits of lifting this policy and the impact on renters.
