Available now wherever you get your podcasts.

From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Kate McGilfrey. The U.S. Supreme Court is taking a hard look at President Donald Trump's use of tariffs. This morning, justice has heard oral arguments on the legality and constitutionality of Trump's decision to impose those sweeping tariffs on virtually all U.S. trading partners. Willie Lowry has the latest from Washington. Yeah, I want to explain to me. how you draw the line because you say we shouldn't be concerned because this is foreign affairs. Supreme Court justices grilled President Donald Trump's legal team,

questioning whether the president was within his right to implement tariffs using a 1977 emergency powers act. Trump's team says yes, but even the most conservative justices appear skeptical. And a group of small businesses and several states are also saying no. Elizabeth Weidra of the Constitutional Authority Center said the case has far reaching implications. It's also an issue that is of global importance. And so the Supreme Court is going to note that not just the eyes of America are upon it, but the eyes of the world. It remains unclear what impact the decision will have on Canada. Legal experts say Trump

likely has other means to implement tariffs at its disposal. Willie Lowry, CBC News, Washington. Nova Scotia MP Chris Dantremont is explaining why he left the Conservative Party to join the Liberals. It's time to actually try to lead a country to try to make it better and not try to knock it down. Don Tramon says he didn't like conservative leader Pierre Pollyev's, quote, negative leadership style. He crossed the floor yesterday just as the liberal budget was being tabled. Don Tramont says the liberal fiscal plan is the right path forward for both his riding and the country. As for other conservatives, considering this same move... I would suggest that there probably are those that are in the same boat,

but I will let them tell their stories if that time goes. The Liberals only need two more seats to form a majority government. BC Premier David Eby and a group of First Nations are calling on the federal government to maintain the ban on oil tanker traffic along the province's north coast. This declaration comes after months of lobbying by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to resurrect plans for an oil pipeline between her province and BC.

Here's Eby earlier today. This is not, in my opinion, a partisan issue. Conservative leaders like Brian Maruni, Ronald Reagan, they recognized that some places were too precious to put at risk, and that includes our North Coast. Gagwis, Jason Alsop, is president of the Council of the Haida Nation. He says arguments to ax the ban on tankers are short-term thinking. We've experienced the impacts of short-term thinking in our territories,

and they center around this discussion around putting food on our table. Well, with our land and our ocean, it's what literally is the food on our table. Laxqualams Mayor, Gary Rees, says the impact of past oil spills continues to affect First Nations up and down the North Coast. And police in England are searching for an Algerian prisoner mistakenly released from a London jail a week ago. This is the second time in as many weeks that a foreign prisoner has been accidentally released. Anna Cunningham has the latest. The 24-year-old Algerian prisoner is believed to have

committed a number of offences, including one sex offence. His latest court appearance was on a charge of failing to comply with sex offender requirements. He was accidentally released from Wandsworth Prison in London a week ago, but the incident was only made public today. It happened five days after an Ethiopian national was also mistakenly let out. early. Hadush Kabatu was serving 12 months for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl and a woman. He was on the run for two days before being re-arrested. He has since been returned to Ethiopia. This is another embarrassment for the British government and Prime Minister Kirstama, who called the latest mistaken release unacceptable. Anna Cunningham, CBC News, London. And that is your world this hour.
