Love the perspective on Blyth Pier on the Northumberland Coast in North East England. I believe it's regarded as a good fishing spot for cod and mackerel, although there were no fishermen around when I took this shot.

Encyclopædia Britannica announces it'll continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ as it serves an international audience, the Gulf is an international body of water and the US authority to rename it "is ambiguous." (Also posts its 1st Ed. map from 1768.)

History clearly shows us that tariffs cause and/or worsen economic depressions and increase the likelihood of war.

Trudeau hits back at the U.S. with big tariffs after Trump launches a trade war | CBC News

President Donald Trump launched a trade war against Canada on Saturday by imposing a 25 per cent tariff on virtually all goods from the U.S.'s neighbour — an unprecedented strike against a long-standing ally that could throw the economy into a tailspin. A White House fact sheet sent to CBC News says tariffs of 25 per cent on Mexican goods and 10 per cent on China products will also be levied.
