Before he boarded Air Force One this morning for Florida, Donald Trump claimed his administration laid the foundation for the incoming one.

He did not mention Joe Biden by name, but told a small crowd of family members and supporters that he thinks the new administration has the foundation to do something really spectacular.

He made brief farewell remarks at Maryland's Joint Base Andrews before he boarded Air Force One for a flight to his Florida home.

Trump said he'll be watching from a distance and promised he will be back -- quote -- ``in some form.''

He did follow one presidential tradition and left a note behind at the White House for Joe Biden.

Trump wanted to be in Florida before Biden becomes president at noon.

Unveiling his Surrey Success Plan, Doerkson pledged that a BC Conservative government would fulfill its comm

Melanie Joly Gives Cleveland-Cliffs 15 Days to Reinstate 500 Laid-Off Stelco Workers

Canada’s Industry Minister Mélanie Joly has issued a 15-day ultimatum to Cleveland-Cliffs, the U.S. parent company of Hamilton-based steelmaker Stelco, demanding that it reinstate approximately 500 laid-off workers or face legal action. The federal government says Cleveland-Cliffs agreed not to carry out layoffs in Canada until 2029 when it acquired Stelco in 2024. However, the company has defended the job cuts by citing tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on Canadian steel. Joly has warned that the government could take the matter to court, potentially forcing Cleveland-Cliffs t

Canada Interest Rate Hike Looms, Putting More Pressure on Homebuyers

Canada’s real estate market could face renewed pressure if the Bank of Canada raises interest rates, with mortgage and lending experts warning that higher borrowing costs could discourage homebuyers and push house prices lower. The central bank has not raised interest rates since July 2023. While it is expected to keep its benchmark rate unchanged for an eighth consecutive decision, many economists and traders believe rate hikes could be on the horizon as policymakers seek to contain inflation. The Bank of Canada’s policy rate has remained at 2.25% since a 0.25-percentage-point cut in Octo
