There may be relief for Canada. According to several US reports, Trump will not issue a tariff order on Canada, Mexico, and China as promised on his first day in office.

A Trump administration official stated that Trump will instead direct agencies to investigate the US trade deficit, unfair trade practices by other countries, and currency policies.

The official added that this investigation will include Canada, Mexico, and China, but no new tariffs will be announced. Notably, Donald Trump is returning to the White House today for his second term.

He will assume office as the 47th President of the United States on Monday. Meanwhile, Canada has prepared to address any potential tariff orders. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said that Canada will respond strongly depending on Trump’s actions.

White Rock RCMP appeals to be safe around tracks and trains

White Rock RCMP is reminding the public that trains can move without warning, stay off the tracks, follow signals and use designated crossings. On the evening of August 13, around 7:15 p.m., White Rock RCMP responded to a train stopped blocking the crossing near the pier head. While the train was stationary, some pedestrians, including parents with children crawled under it or walked along the tracks instead of using the Balsam Street crossing. This is extremely dangerous. A stopped train can move without warning, and anyone underneath or on the tracks is at serious risk of injury or death. Po

Officials hope rain clear heavy smoke from wildfire near Port Alberni, B.C.

Officials on Vancouver Island are hoping rain in the forecast can help clear up the air quality muddied by an out-of-control wildfire. The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District says wildland firefighters have said the rain may improve air quality locally, but that it's hard to be certain. The west central region is under an air quality statement, along with parts of Vancouver Island's east coast and the Sunshine coast region on the B.C. mainland. The intense Mount Underwood wildfire has grown to more than 34 square kilometres, with fire behaviour that the BC Wildfire Service says is "unusual" fo
