President Donald Trump has once again targeted Canada. In a social media post, he mentioned that he would be watching the 4 Nations Face-Off final tonight between Canada and the United States. He also extended an invitation to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by calling him 'Governor Trudeau'. Trump made this comment on his Truth Social platform, noting that while he wouldn't attend the game in person, he would be supporting the team by encouraging them over the phone. The special hockey tournament features players from Canada, the United States, Sweden, and Finland. The match between C

The Canadian softwood industry is bracing for a significant challenge as reports suggest that the U.S. Department of Commerce may increase anti-dumping duties on Canadian softwood lumber. Currently, most Canadian producers are paying a 7.66% anti-dumping duty on lumber shipments to the U.S. However, this rate could rise to as much as 20%. The new duty rate is expected to take effect in August. The anti-dumping duty is being raised because the U.S. alleges that Canadian producers are selling softwood lumber in the U.S. at prices below market value. Vancouver-based forestry analyst Ross Taylor

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump over his stance on Ukraine. In a statement, Singh condemned the exclusion of Ukraine from peace talks involving Russia and the United States, calling it deeply wrong. He argued that this approach reflects the U.S. under Trump leaning toward divisive policies and instability. Singh emphasized that Canada must stand firm against threats to democracy and work to promote peace. It is notable that a high-level meeting was recently held in Saudi Arabia between Russia and the United States to address the ongoing war in Ukrain

Police say a woman is dead and a child is recovering in a Calgary hospital from carbon monoxide poisoning. Officers were conducting a welfare check at a northeast Calgary home Tuesday, when they found the woman unconscious and the child in critical condition. Police say the pair were taken to hospital, where the woman later died. The fire department says an investigation found the colourless and odourless gas was leaking from the home's furnace. Fire spokeswoman Carol Henke says it's the second carbon monoxide call first responders have received recently. Last week, a man and a

The wreck of a crashed Delta Air Lines jet has been cleared from a runway at Toronto's Pearson International Airport. The airline says removing the wreckage took several hours on Wednesday. Delta says it could be weeks before bags from the plane are returned to their owners because of the inspection and cleaning process. The airline has offered US$30,000 in compensation to passengers who were on the plane, saying the money "has no strings attached." All 76 passengers and four crew members survived when Delta Flight 4819 crash landed at Pearson on Monday. Agencies including the Transportation S

Pat King, one of the organizers of the 2022 protests against COVID restrictions in Canada, has been sentenced to three months of house arrest by an Ottawa court today. In addition to house arrest, King has also been sentenced to 100 hours of community service at a food bank and a men's shelter. The protests, which opposed COVID restrictions, resulted in the blockage of major roads in the capital, forcing the government to declare an emergency to end the demonstrations. In November, the court found King guilty of five charges, and the Crown had sought a maximum sentence of 10 years for his inv

The federal government says it has purchased 500,000 doses of bird flu vaccine to ensure Canada is ready for potential health threats. The Public Health Agency of Canada says it secured supplies of GSK's human vaccine against avian influenza. PHAC says 60 per cent of available doses will go to provinces and territories while 40 per cent will be kept in a federal stockpile. It does not recommend broad vaccine deployment, noting the shot is meant for people who may be at increased risk, such as those who have ongoing contact with infected animals and their environments. Otherwise it says risk to

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government is moving ahead with a high-speed rail network between Quebec City and Toronto. The Liberal government says the planned rail network will span approximately 1,000 kilometres and reach speeds of up to 300 kilometres an hour. There will be stops in Toronto, Peterborough, Ottawa, Montréal, Laval, Trois-Rivières and Quebec City. The government says the new system will slash travel times in half — getting travellers from Montréal to Toronto in three hours. The official name of the high-speed rail service will be Alto. Trudeau and Transp

R-C-M-P in northern Alberta are investigating after two men were found dead in an ice fishing tent. Police say they were called on Saturday afternoon to a remote area of Crow Lake Provincial Park after the bodies were found.

They say preliminary investigation suggests they died from carbon monoxide poisoning that resulted from a heating source used inside the tent.
