27 h. ago Trump says U.S. will delay tariffs on Canada for at least another month

U.S. President Donald Trump announced today that tariffs against Canada will be delayed until early April.The tariffs were originally going to go into effect in February. They were then delayed by 30 days and were to kick in next week. This is the third delay.During a cabinet meeting at the White House, Trump responded to a reporter's question about whether he would continue the pause on tariffs against Canada and Mexico.Trump confirmed that he was not going to stop the tariffs due to the U.S. having "lost millions of people due to fentanyl."However, he seemingly pushed back the start date of enacting the tariffs on Canada until the spring.Trump appears to suggest tariffs on Canada have been pushed back to April 2nd (not April 1st because he's superstitious).He also adds that fentanyl is apparently once again his top issue for talks with Canada. pic.twitter.com/IIFRCFmoSX— Courtney Theriault (@cspotweet) February 26, 2025"I have to tell you that, you know, on April 2 — I...

28 h. ago Ontario end of winter and early spring weather forecast has arrived

Based on Ontario's weather thus far this week, you wouldn't be blamed for thinking that spring is making an early arrival in the province. But, the glimmer of these few balmier days is set to be short-lived, with minus double digit temperatures and more snow on the way for parts of the province in the coming days.So, what climate is in store for the Toronto area and beyond in March as we shed our winter layers?Meteorologists are anticipating a return to more seasonal conditions as we kick off the month, with another 10-15 cm (or more!) in the south of the province thanks to another dose of back-to-back storms."The warmth doesn't mean the end of winter weather. In fact, snowfall will return to the province as the next system brings a coating of snow, and even a chance of freezing rain and drizzle for some areas," The Weather Network wrote on Tuesday.Wouldn't be the worst idea to set the alarm a little earlier tomorrow morning around the #GTA for ris...
