WASHINGTON (AP) — Some two dozen states challenged President Donald Trump’s new global tariffs on Thursday, filing a lawsuit over import taxes he imposed after a stinging loss at the Supreme Court. The Democratic attorneys general leading the suit argue that Trump is overstepping his power with planned 15% tariffs on much of the world.

The Ford government has appointed supervisors at two more GTA school boards. Education Minister Paul Calandra says supervisors have been appointed at both the Peel District School Board (PDSB) and the York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB), citing “serious concerns about infighting and long-term financial unsustainability.” This makes a total of eight provincial school boards now under the supervision of the government. Last month, Calandra placed the PDSB under provisional supervision to prevent dozens of teachers from being laid off, and he gave the York board two weeks to get its financial house in order or face the same fate. Calandra…
