Ontario rips up Starlink deal, plans to tax electricity in response to Trump trade war
Ontario will rip up its $100-million deal with Elon Musk's Starlink internet provider and U.S. companies will be banned from procurement contracts as part of the province's response to President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods.
Premier Doug Ford announced the measures Tuesday, adding he's warning lawmakers in New York, Michigan and Minnesota that if the tariffs "persist," Ontario will put a 25 per cent surcharge on electricity flowing into the states and potentially cut the flow off entirely.
Ontario supplies roughly 1.5 million customers in the northern states with electricity.

Tories reject former B.C. cabinet minister Mike de Jong as federal election candidate
Mike de Jong, one of B.C.'s longest-serving MLAs, announced that the federal Conservative Party has rejected his candidacy for the upcoming election. De Jong, who served as an MLA for over 30 years and held multiple ministerial roles, including finance, health, and attorney general, called the decision disappointing. He had been campaigning for nearly a year to represent Abbotsford-South Langley. The Conservative Party has not yet commented on the decision.

Trump wants to go back to 1913. Canadians and Americans will suffer the consequences
Canadians have taken Donald Trump's threats of trade action β now realized β very personally. Understandably and justifiably so.
But the American president's treatment of Ukraine β not to mention his administration's larger withholding of foreign aid β demonstrates that Canada is far from alone. This United States administration is not concerned much with the welfare of other nations or the people who live there.

Canada fights against 25% U.S. tariffs and braces for economic pain
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that the justifications for U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs β including assertions around fentanyl β are bogus. 'So, we actually have to fold back on the one thing he has said repeatedly, that what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us, is the second half of his thought.'

Perennial uncertainty of tariffs looms over B.C.'s budget
The B.C. government's 2025/26 budget came as the province is constrained by the start of a trade war prompted by U.S. tariffs, but political watchers say B.C. has many unmet needs and also needs a long-term vision.
The budget projected a record deficit of $10.9 billion as the government committed to spending on core services and set aside billions in contingency funds on Tuesday, the same day that 25 per cent U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports went into effect. But while the record deficit came under fire from many pro-business groups, a political science professor says that the B.C. NDP government is in a tight position, and residents would have to get used to short-term commitments and diversification as the province tries to insulate itself from outside threats.

Alberta will stop buying American booze, step up efforts to buy Canadian in response to U.S. tariffs
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the provincial government will avoid purchasing U.S. goods and services and launch an advertising campaign to help shoppers buy Canadian products while U.S tariffs persist.
"This economic attack on our country, combined with Mr. Trump's continued talk of using economic force to facilitate the annexation of our country, has broken trust between our two countries in a profound way," Smith said at a news conference in Medicine Hat, Alta., about 145 kilometres from the U.S. border. "It is a betrayal of a deep and abiding friendship."

We are Canadian': 25 years later, Joe Canadian is back with a new patriotic video
The man behind an iconic Canadian beer ad is back, 25 years later, with a new patriotic rallying cry.
But this time, it's not about selling drinks.
Jeff Douglas, from Truro, N.S., became a national sensation after starring as flannel-wearing Joe Canadian in Molson Canadian's 2000 ad "The Rant," which was a huge success for the beer company and popularized the slogan, "I am Canadian!"

Man who sexually exploited vulnerable Edmonton woman sentenced to 5Β½ years in prison
A man is going to prison for pressuring two women into the sex trade, one of whom he trafficked and sexually assaulted after initially offering to help her get off Edmonton's streets.
Christopher Becks, 39, pleaded guilty last year to five offences, admitting to crimes that took place in 2022. Both victims' identities are covered by a publication ban.
Court of King's Bench Justice Marta Burns sentenced Becks on Wednesday to 5Β½ years in prison. With enhanced credit for time he's already spent in custody so far, he has about three and a half years left to serve.

Trump pausing tariffs on some Canadian goods until April 2
U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday he is pausing his tariffs on some Canadian goods until April 2, offering the country yet another reprieve from a punishing 25 per cent levy. Trump's actions are a welcome development, given just how damaging tariffs that big could be for the Canadian economy.
But the events of the last week show what Canada is in for over the next nearly four years: chaos, unpredictability and constantly moving goal posts from a White House that doesn't play by normal trade rules.

Soup company sees sales surge as shoppers buy Canadian to protest tariffs
Hearty soups, beans and chilis aren't the typical tools of rebellion, but for many Canadians the red maple leaf on cans from Sprague Foods has become a patriotic rallying point.
The family business in Belleville, Ont., is marking its 100th year. Its owners said in that time the biggest events they've had to weather are World War II, the COVID pandemic and now the U.S. tariffs. "This is a nationalistic version of shopping," said Keenan Sprague, vice president of the company and the fifth generation of the family to work there.

Ex-minister Guthrie on 'probation,' barred from UCP caucus meetings after quitting cabinet
Former Alberta infrastructure minister Peter Guthrie is barred from attending UCP caucus meetings following his recent abrupt resignation, as part of a 30-day probation period he's been placed under.
Guthrie, who quit Premier Danielle Smith's cabinet in the wake of allegations about Alberta Health Services contracting, is still allowed to sit with United Conservative MLAs on the government side of the legislature chamber during this unusual probation. Guthrie, the MLA for Airdrie-Cochrane, declined an interview request, but he confirmed to CBC News that he's been barred since Feb. 26 from attending regular caucus meetings or government committees.

Region of Waterloo to meet with outdoor workers union Friday on day 5 of strike
After five days of stalled negotiations, the Region of Waterloo and the union representing outside regional workers are set to resume talks on Friday. Picket lines have been set up all week in front of Region of Waterloo International Airport. Tuesday another picket line was set up outside regional headquarters on Frederick Street in Kitchener while committee meetings were taking place.
The workers are represented by Local 1656 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE). Those striking are outside workers, including working in departments like landfill, roads and water, and the airport. The strike started at 12:01 a.m. Monday. The union says it's calling for higher wages to keep up with the rising cost of living.
