NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has called on Canadians to unite in response to Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Singh expressed that Trump’s victory has disappointed many people, urging that Canadians must set aside their differences and work together for the greater good of the country and its jobs.

It is worth noting that the United States is not only Canada’s neighbor but also its major trading partner, and there is concern about the potential impact of Trump’s policies, including possible tariffs.

Meanwhile, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, speaking to reporters in Ottawa, acknowledged that many Canadians may be feeling disappointed today. However, she expressed confidence that Canada would continue to work effectively with the new U.S. administration, assuring that Canada’s sovereignty would remain intact.

Trump Imposes Extra 10% Tariff on Canadian Goods After Ontario Anti-Tariff Ad

U.S. President Donald Trump says he is adding a 10 per cent surcharge on imports from Canada, citing frustration over an Ontario government advertisement that criticized American trade tariffs. The ad, which used a quote from former U.S. president Ronald Reagan, aired during the opening game of the World Series and called for fairer treatment of Canadian products. Trump announced the additional tariff on his social media platform Truth Social while en route to Malaysia aboard Air Force One. He said Ontario Premier Doug Ford should have removed the advertisement sooner, despite Ford’s commitm

Justice Eric Gottardi delivered the decision Friday, saying the law does not convict people for acts committed while they are mentally ill. The ruling concerns 67-year-old Blair Donnelly, whose trial heard he believed he was acting under divine instruction when he carried out the attack last September. Court testimony showed Donnelly had asked the Holy Spirit for a sign not to proceed, but said he “wanted to obey God”

Patients across the Fraser Valley will soon benefit from faster and more accurate diagnostic imaging as Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre undergoes a $4.95 million upgrade to its MRI unit.
