Hogging seats on a crowded train, not saying excuse me, watching videos on your phone with no headphones in. Sometimes it feels like we don't know how to act anymore. What we have been seeing, increasingly, is people breaking rules. Why should I play by the rules if nobody else is going to do that for me? This week on Explain It to Me, how to mind your manners. New episodes, Sundays, wherever you go. Yeah.

We all know the Beach Boys, but to really understand them, you have to get to know the genius behind their songs, Brian Wilson. I'm Will Anderson, and this week on the Monday Music Club podcast, we dive into the history behind two of his masterpieces, the Beach Boys album Pet Sounds, and their song Good Vibrations. I was joined by Brian's biographer David Leaf, and we went through what drove Brian, what it was like in a studio during those sessions, and why the pressure of following them up made Brian have to take a Step back from music. You can listen to the episode everywhere you get your podcast by searching for Monday Music Club.

How do Canada’s new trade bans affect trade relations and Canadian sovereignty?

Ed Elson 1:18
The Canadian trade war is set to escalate this week with outright bans on Canadian goods, including alcoholic beverages, motorcycles. And way that kick in tomorrow. Jess, even though there are outright bans here versus just tariffs, this likely won't hit the Canadian economy as hard as the tariffs earlier in September. What do you think the intended effect is here? And does Canada have any reason to come to the table?
Jessica Tarlov 1:41
I mean, they still have A financial reason to want to come to the table, but they have a pride and sovereignty reason not to. And they're going with that. And I respect it. The whole world, except for us, seems to be in big time respect Mark Carney and what he's doing mode. And what I thought was really interesting, and I hadn't seen this before, is that now the Canadian government is giving grants to Canadian businesses to help. them find new partners so that they can work around having to be dependent on us. So for instance, there's this company, Excelivant, makes temperature sensors used to produce computer chips. Obviously Canada and the United States had it had a vested interest in not having to rely on Asia.
Jessica Tarlov 2:26
for these things and the product goes back and forth between the US and Canada, much like cars, and the Canadian government gave them a million dollars. And they said, you know, you we have to adapt to these new circumstances. And I don't think that they would be making this kind of investment. So they're taking a financial hit and then they're spending more so that they don't have to be dependent on us or continue this relationship. And obviously, you know, this is future-proofing for at least the next two years of the Trump administration. But I think that this is, you know, they're making their long-term plans because they're not going to waste their time on all of these new financial relationships, these new diplomatic relationships, these new defense and military relationships, unless they think that the long-term horizon
Jessica Tarlov 3:16
is a world in which we are a partner, but a much degraded one. And uh I don't know that Seeing the Canadian government giving out money to help their businesses not have to work with us. I it hit really hard.
Ed Elson 3:33
Yeah. It definitely feels as if the ban is I would argue the ban is performative, not economic. Single digit billions in a trading relationship that depend on how you account for it is somewhere between half a trillion and three quarters of a trillion. It's it's it's kind of like it's a restraining order on a neighbor who, you know, keeps bringing you casserole so it just feels very performative and not gonna have a a big impact. You know, on for example on motorcycles, they're basically Canada exported about five thousand motorcycles in total last year.
