Donald Trump's return to the White House is met with both anticipation and concern, particularly from Canada facing potential 25% tariffs. Meanwhile, a severe cold wave grips Ontario, prompting extreme cold warnings.
Donald Trump is set to return to the White House with a substantial agenda, leading a deeply divided United States on a path starkly different from his predecessor. The Republican leader has signaled his intention to distance America from its closest neighbor and ally, Canada . Canadians are anxiously awaiting inauguration day ceremonies to discern Trump's early priorities amidst threats of a 25 percent tariff on all Canadian imports by Monday.
His team is reportedly prepared with more than 100 executive orders, though the content and immediate implementation of these remain unclear. 'I think we want to see what the president decides to do,' Kirsten Hillman, Canada's ambassador to the U.S., told Bloomberg News last week. Over the weekend, Washington, D.C., was inundated with bright red hats and toques emblazoned with 'Trump', as rallies and events took place ahead of the Republican leader's return to office as the 47th president. Meanwhile, a different kind of cold wave is sweeping across Canada. Environment Canada has issued prolonged extreme cold warnings for the vast majority of Ontario, with wind chill values plummeting to around -40 degrees in many areas. Extreme cold warnings extend from areas surrounding Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, stretching northward. Communities around Lake Huron and Georgian Bay will continue to experience frigid temperatures until Wednesday, while areas along the shore of Lake Superior are expected to see temperatures moderate by Tuesday.Adding to the icy conditions, the weather agency has issued a snow squall warning watch for Northern Huron County and surrounding areas, predicting 30 to 60 centimeters of snow accumulation until Wednesday. The agency stresses that extreme cold poses a risk to everyone, and frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with the wind chill. In other news, federal cabinet ministers are gathering in Montebello, Que., today as Donald Trump returns to the White House. Trump has pledged to sign an executive order on inauguration day to impose 25 percent tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico. The president-elect initially justified these tariffs as a response to what he perceived as inaction by both countries in addressing the issue of migrants and illegal drugs entering the United States. The Liberal government unveiled a $1.3-billion plan in December to bolster border security, encompassing additional police officers and border guards, helicopters, drones, and drug-sniffing dogs. The federal government has formulated several contingency plans to counter the potential imposition of tariffs today, including retaliatory tariffs that could reach billions of dollars. Legal proceedings continue in the sexual assault case involving five former members of Canada's world junior hockey team as they prepare for trial this spring. Dillon Dube, Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, Cal Foote, and Alex Formenton were charged with sexual assault last year following an alleged incident in London, Ont., nearly six years earlier. McLeod faces an additional charge of being a party to the offence of sexual assault. All five players are expected to plead not guilty. A jury trial is scheduled to commence in London on April 22 before Superior Court Justice Maria Carroccia. Due to a publication ban, details and arguments presented during this week's hearings — and a series of similar hearings last fall — cannot be disclosed at this time.
