Donald Trump is set to return to the White House with a massive agenda, leading a deeply divided United States on a starkly different path from his predecessor — and the Republican leader has signalled it means pushing away from America's closest neighbour and ally.

Canadians will be anxiously watching inauguration day ceremonies to see what is among Trump's early priorities amid threats to slap Canada with a 25 per cent across-the-board tariff on Monday.

His team has reportedly prepared more than 100 executive orders, though it's unclear what is in the package and how many will be signed immediately. "I think we want to see what the president decides to do," Kirsten Hillman, Canada's ambassador to the U.S., told Bloomberg News last week.

Bright red hats and toques with "Trump" scrawled across the front descended on Washington, D.C., over the weekend for rallies and events ahead of the Republican leader's return to office as the 47th president.

The decision followed discussions on the city’s Single-Use Item Bylaw, introduced in 2023. According to an administrative report, single-use waste has declined by 30 per cent since the bylaw came into effect, with retail bags accounting for the largest share of the reduction. The motion to remove the fee was defeated in a 7-6 vote, meaning the 25-cent charge

Canada’s Average Rent Falls for 24th Straight Month to $2,034
