Trump team threatens two phases of tariffs on Canada

The U.S. is threatening a two-stage tariff plan in which Canada and Mexico could get hit with initial trade penalties within days then face broader penalties this spring.

In summary it's: Maybe tariffs now, and maybe more tariffs later.

The details emerged Wednesday at the U.S. Senate confirmation hearing for the person chosen to lead President Donald Trump's tariff policy, Howard Lutnick.

It occurred as Canadian officials engaged in frantic last-ditch efforts to dissuade U.S. officials from imposing tariffs as threatened by Feb. 1, even producing a video demonstrating Canada's border enforcement.

The nominee for commerce secretary laid out that two-step approach in an exchange with Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, who expressed fear about what a cross-border trade war could mean for his state.

Jasper wildfire damage now estimated at $1.23B — and could go higher, insurance industry says

The cost of wildfire damage in Jasper, Alberta, has risen to $1.23 billion, making it Canada's second-costliest fire event after the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfires. The Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) attributes the increased costs to Jasper’s remote location, which makes debris removal more expensive. The wildfire, which occurred in July 2024, destroyed one-third of the town's structures. Debris from 358 buildings must be tested for toxins like asbestos, adding to the costs. While some waste is sent to a landfill 75 km away, other materials must be transported as far as Edmonton, 365 km east.

Ottawa police assign youth officers to city's school districts

The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) is returning to city schools with a revised approach, assigning officers to support educators without being stationed inside buildings. Four officers from the Community Youth Unit are now assigned to the city's four school districts — east, south, central, and west — ensuring each district has a dedicated officer for school engagement. "What that means, really, is improving the efficiency of how we provide a service to our schools, whether it be proactive work, which means presentations, lockdown practices," OPS Staff Sergeant Fernando Vieira said. Teachers will be able to call their assigned youth officer directly, allowing for faster consultation.

Boufeldja Benabdallah, co-founder of the Islamic Cultural Centre in Quebec City, recalls the tragic night of Jan. 29, 2017, when a gunman killed six worshippers and injured 19 others.

Wanted for murder in Missouri and Mexico, police say 'Pistol Packin' Mama' hid in Alberta for decades

Fifty-five years after Missouri murderer Sharon Kinne escaped from a Mexican prison, American authorities confirm the fugitive hid for decades in a small Alberta town.

On Thursday, Jackson County Sheriffs confirmed that Kinne, who was linked to three murders in two countries, had been hiding out three hours south of Calgary, in the town of Taber, for 49 years until her death in 2022 at the age of 81.

Kinne had been living under the name Diedra (Dee) Glabus in the sleepy prairie town of about 9,000 residents, best known for its corn crop.

It's unclear if anyone in the town knew she was a fugitive, on the run from both Mexican and Missouri police. Or if they just knew Glabus as a bridge-playing local realtor and volunteer.

Alberta cuts funding to gambling support group, eyes private online betting

Alberta's government has ended a funding contract for a non-profit organization that provides education and resources for gambling addiction.

Ray Reshke, executive director of the Edmonton-based Problem Gambling Resources Network, says without the funding the organization will likely have to shut its doors. He said the network has had a government funding agreement of some sort since 1993. Earlier this month, he said he was told the government was ending its three-year contract and pulling the nearly $130,000 it provided annually.

Man pleads guilty in drone crash with Quebec water bomber fighting L.A. fires

A 56-year-old Californian man has pleaded guilty to operating the drone that crashed into a Quebec water bomber plane fighting the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles earlier this month.

Peter Tripp Akemann, who is from Culver City, appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom Friday, where United States federal prosecutors charged him with one count of unsafe operation of an unmanned aircraft.

The misdemeanor offence carries a prison sentence of up to one year in federal prison.

The CL-415 plane was grounded after the small remote-controlled aircraft flew into it on Jan. 9, leaving a "sizable hole in its wing," Christopher Thomas, a spokesperson with the California state firefighting agency, Cal Fire, said at the time.

Trump launches trade war against Canada with a 25% tariff on most goods

President Donald Trump launched a trade war against Canada on Saturday by imposing a 25 per cent tariff on virtually all goods from this country — an unprecedented strike against a longstanding ally that has the potential to throw the economy into a tailspin.

Trump's long-threatened plan to inflict economic pain on Canada has materialized on the day he said it would, and it includes a 10 per cent tariff on Canadian energy products, according to a fact sheet from the White House sent to CBC News. Trump is also levying tariffs of 25 per cent on all Mexican goods and 10 per cent on goods from China.

These potentially devastating tariffs are slated to take effect on Tuesday and remain in place until Trump is satisfied Canada is doing enough to stop the flow of fentanyl into the U.S., according to the fact sheet.

B.C. premier announces countermeasures against U.S. tariffs, including ban on 'red-state' liquor

U.S. President Donald Trump will impose a 25% tariff on most Canadian imports starting Tuesday, with a 10% tariff on Canadian energy products. In response, B.C. Premier David Eby announced countermeasures, including halting purchases of American liquor from Republican-led states and prioritizing Canadian goods in procurement. Eby condemned the tariffs as an "unprecedented attack" and warned they could hit B.C.'s economy harder than the 2008 financial crisis. A government analysis projects losses of $69 billion if the tariffs last until 2028, along with 124,000 fewer jobs and rising unemployment. The U.S. is B.C.'s largest trading partner, receiving 54% of its exports.
