    Why we unfriended Canada

    Friendliness is a Canadian hallmark, so perhaps it’s surprising that our neighbors to the north are drawing the Trump administration’s ire. Drew Fagan, professor in the Monk School at the University of Toronto and a visiting professor at Yale University, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why one of our largest trading partners has found itself in the crosshairs of President Trump, what tariffs and trade deals have done to shape the relationship through the years and how Canada is responding. His article in Policy is “The Big Split: How Canada and the United States Pulled Together, Then Apart.”   Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

    Gentle parenting is rough for moms and dads

    Gentle parenting indulges a child’s biggest emotions – and it’s wearing parents out. Monica Corcoran Harel is a journalist and screenwriter who covers culture and relationships. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss her own path of gentle parenting — what she got right and what she says she realizes she did wrong — and why she feels it’s difficult to set boundaries for this method of parenting, which discourages old-fashioned authoritarian rule. Her article in The Cut is “‘Because I Said So … Please?’ My greatest fear is pushing my daughter away. Maybe I went too far to keep her close.”  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
