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...

West Lincoln, Ontario may be a town of just 15,000 or so people, but the tiny Niagara Region municipality has put itself on the map this week by taking a symbolic stand against U.S. President Donald Trump's recent hostility toward Canada.A Monday night vote by local council — in which all members sided unanimously — determined that the border area town will no longer display American flags at institutions like its community centre, where the star spangled banner has hung alongside the Canadian flag for a number of years now."I feel disrespected by our American neighbours.
