Duty free stores tariffs and falling cross-border travel are hitting hard, and this Friday roundup asks whether the sympathy actually matches the situation. Decades of guaranteed foot traffic and built-in tax advantages meet a very different argument once the tourism dries up.

From there the conversation turns to the renaming of the Gulf of America and Lake America, and the international body refusing to recognize either one. Andrew Caddell explains exactly why the rest of the world isn't playing along, and the two debate whether any future leader would actually bother reversing it.

Sheer news fatigue produces a lighter proposal by the end, and Andrew gives an update on his 1,000 kilometre bike ride for SickKids, with the finish line finally within reach.
