U.S. President Donald Trump says economy-wide tariffs on Canada and Mexico will go ahead next week as planned. Trump's comments on Truth Social today come after days of confusing statements from him and his officials. On Wednesday, Trump suggested that the 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs wouldn't land until April 2 — but a White House official later said they could still take effect on March 4. In his post this morning, Trump says "drugs are still pouring" in from Canada and Mexico and unless it is "stopped or seriously limited," the tariffs will go into effect "on MARCH FOURTH." Public

The number of Canadians supporting a petition against Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship has surpassed 263,000. The province with the most signatures so far is Ontario, where more than 96,000 people have backed the demand to revoke Musk’s citizenship. This is followed by nearly 53,000 signatures from British Columbia, 43,000 from Quebec, and more than 25,000 from Alberta. Musk’s Canadian citizenship has been in the spotlight recently after British Columbia author Qualia Reed launched the petition last week. Musk currently holds citizenship in the United States, Canada, and South Africa, w

Liberal leadership contenders will take the stage again Tuesday night for the English-language debate in Montreal their last shot to confront each other in person and shake up the race. The four candidates left in the race played it safe in Monday night’s French-language debate. Presumed front-runner Mark Carney had his guard up and stumbled the most in French. But none of the other candidates attacked him despite his perceived lead. Freeland even bailed Carney out of one jam when he flubbed a comment about Hamas and the war in Gaza. On Wednesday, Liberal party members will be able to start

More than 170,000 people in Canada have signed a parliamentary petition urging the government to revoke Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship. The petition, launched by BC-based author Qualia Reed and sponsored by NDP MP Charlie Angus, is currently being reviewed by the House of Commons. The petition claims that Elon Musk has engaged in activities that are detrimental to Canada’s national interest. It accuses the tech billionaire of supporting policies of President Donald Trump that undermine Canadian sovereignty, as Musk is one of Trump's top advisers. Born in South Africa, Musk obtained Cana

Canada defeated its archrival the United States 3-2 in overtime in the 4 Nations Face-Off final on Thursday night in what was an emotionally-charged affair for players and fans alike. The rematch between the two sides was intense, although it did not consist of three fights in the opening nine seconds, as the preliminary round game in Montreal did last Saturday, a 3-1 win for the Americans. Connor McDavid scored the game winner, while Nathan MacKinnon and Sam Bennett scored in regulation for Canada. Brady Tkachuk and Jake Sanderson replied for the U.S. The Canadian national anthem was booed l

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

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

Former central banker Mark Carney is dominating the fundraising field in the race for the federal Liberal leadership. And his main rival appears to be trailing at the back of the pack. Financial data published by Elections Canada shows Carney raised $1.9 million for his leadership bid — more than eight times the sum collected by his nearest fundraising competitor. Former Liberal House leader Karina Gould raised about $236,000 from more than 600 donors, while Montreal businessman Frank Baylis raised more than $227,000 from 59 people. Former finance minister Chrystia Freeland — widely consid

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s GST exemption for Canadians will end tomorrow, February 15, at midnight. All businesses will resume charging GST on previously exempt goods and services. To ease the burden of inflation, the Trudeau government introduced a two-month GST exemption from December 14 to February 15 on items such as groceries, restaurant meals, children’s clothing, toys, diapers, and even beer and wine. The government also encouraged provinces to temporarily waive their taxes during this period. Nik Nanos, head of Nanos Research, compared the return of GST to the frustration of r
