More or Less: Behind the Stats - What?s Trump?s problem with Canada?
Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours, and since the end of the Second World War that?s exactly what the US and Canada have been. They?ve enjoyed free trade agreements, close knit economic ties - and not so friendly ice hockey matches. But recently this relationship has soured, with President Trump calling them ?one of the nastiest countries to deal with?. It looks like the era of mostly free trade is over, with a raft of tariffs set to come into force on April the 2nd, or ?liberation day? a Donald Trump calls it. But is President Trump right about the trading relationship between the two countries? What does he mean when he claims that ?the US subsidises Canada $200 billion a year??

Curious City - “Enemy Alien”: How Chicago photojournalist Jun Fujita avoided Japanese internment camps
Jun Fujita is the Japanese-American photographer behind some of the most recognizable photographs taken in Chicago in the 20th century, including his shots of the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre of 1929, the Eastland passenger boat disaster of 1915, and the 1919 Chicago race riots. Fujita was also a published poet and something of a regional celebrity, known for socializing with William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway.
Fujita’s foreign identity also made him the subject of government inquiry and suspicion on multiple occasions — during both World War I and World War II — according to Graham Lee, Fujita’s great-nephew and the author of a new Fujita biography, “Jun Fujita: Behind the Camera.” After Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, Fujita’s assets were frozen, his business was shuttered, his cameras were taken away, and he constrained himself to Chicago to avoid possible internment, Lee said.
How did Fujita navigate this perilous time for an immigrant in Chicago? We sat down with Lee to discuss how Fujita, a “supremely confident person,” came to rely on both the support of his community and his wits.
