- While Environment Canada cancelled an extreme cold weather warning earlier in the day, Toronto experienced its coldest winter temperatures in two years Wednesday.
For those outside, it was uncomfortable -- all residents could do was bundle up as best they could.

- Iran gained “more nuclear capability” since Trump withdrew from deal, official says
- Date posted
- 21 minutes ago
- Description
- Iran hopes U.S. President Donald Trump will be "more realistic" in its dealing with the Islamic Republic, Iranian Vice-President for Strategic Affairs Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Wednesday, adding Tehran had never sought nuclear weapons.
Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Zarif said Iran did not pose a security threat to the world.
"I hope that this time around, a 'Trump 2' will be more serious, more focused, more realistic," Zarif said.
In 2018, then-President Trump reneged on Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers and re-imposed harsh U.S. sanctions as part of his "maximum pressure" policy against the country.
"After [Trump] withdrew from JCPOA [also known as the Iran Nuclear Deal], Iran has gained much more nuclear capability,” Zarif said.

- Since his election in November, Canadian officials have been largely focused on U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to impose sweeping 25 per cent tariffs on all goods from Canada and Mexico.
But experts warn Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on imports from China could send shockwaves through global supply chains – resulting in higher prices on everything from big-ticket households to dollar store purchases.

- Trump tariffs: Premier Houston urges Canada to remove inter-provincial trade barriers

- 3 hours ago
- Description
- Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said Wednesday, following a phone call between Canadian premiers and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, that Canada needs to come together to remove barriers to inter-provincial trade as it fights U.S. President Donald Trump’s anticipated 25 per cent tariffs.
“Nobody wants a Trump tax, so we have to use this time as a rally call to strengthen Canada. That means looking at our own internal trade policies across the country and just asking ourselves simple questions — like ‘why is it so hard to send a bottle of wine from one province to another,’” he said.
Additionally, Houston said he had urged the federal government to “immediately” approve the Energy East pipeline.
Houston said Trump’s threat of tariffs has provided the “urgency” Canada needs to strengthen our country economically — and that projects like the Energy East pipeline will help do that.

- A rare winter storm churned across the U.S. Gulf Coast on Tuesday, bringing heavy snow, ice and wind gusts to a region where flurries are unusual, while much of the U.S. remained in a dangerous deep freeze.
Some residents were happy to witness the natural rarity.
“The snow is so soft and it’s stickier than I’d expect, so I think it’s great,” Houston resident Steven Lieng said.
According to Reuters, 10 cm of snow fell overnight in Houston, the most the city has gotten since 1960.
Meanwhile, local Florida media called the storm "historic" as Governor Ron DeSantis declared a State of Emergency in response to the storm.
Tallahassee, Florida's capital city, was expected to see a low of -15 degrees Celsius on Wednesday.

- Lovleen Singh just wanted to go home after a long day at work inside West Edmonton Mall, but arrived at her car in the parkade to realize it was going nowhere anytime soon — because her wheels were gone.
“I freaked out. I was so shocked,” the Edmonton woman said. The theft happened Saturday, Jan. 18, 2025.
Her Honda Civic was in the spot where she parked it that morning, but her four brand-new Bridgestone winter tires on Honda alloy rims were gone.
“They’re pretty expensive,” Singh said of the rims. “I think they’re like $500 a pop and the Bridgestones, I spent a lot of money on.”
The vehicle was left perched precariously on a mix of mismatched, old wheels. On the front driver side was a tire without a rim, causing the car to slope towards the ground.
“I’ve been working here for four years and I’ve never had this happen before,” she said.

- Europe should welcome Trump's call for more NATO spending, Poland's Tusk says

- Europe should welcome, rather than rebuff, U.S. President Donald Trump's call for other NATO members to ramp up their military spending, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Wednesday stressing the importance of security to the continent.
"This is a time when Europe cannot afford to save on security," Tusk told the EU assembly. "I am speaking as the Prime Minister of a country that already spends almost 5 per cent (as proportion of GDP) on security. And I want to say that it spends this 5per cent not only on its own security but on the security of all of Europe."
Trump has said members of the military alliance should spend 5 per cent of their gross domestic product (GDP) on defence – a huge increase from the current 2 per cent goal and a level that no NATO country, including the United States, currently achieves.
This demand, repeated on Monday as he took office, is a reminder of the focus he put on NATO spending during his first term - ...

- Description
- U.S. markets are on a high following Donald Trump's re-election, with the major indexes posting gains.
But what does this optimism mean for Canadians?
The Canadian dollar shot higher compared to its American counterpart on Monday in response to the news that Trump would not immediately impose tariffs on Canada.
Despite the gain of about one per cent in early trading on inauguration day, the loonie remains just below 70 cents US. The Canadian dollar has been largely depressed since Trump’s re-election in November, and remains down roughly six per cent from the start of last year.
Money expert Rubina Ahmed-Haq breaks it all down, from the risks of Trump’s tariff threats to how lower-than-expected inflation could shape the Bank of Canada’s next rate decision.

U.S. President Donald Trump declared Feb. 1 as the date a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods heading south could come in. If they do, Eby says British Columbians should also reconsider travel plans.
Eby said he does not understand why Trump would impose these tariffs. “It’s not a fight we signed up for,” he said. “But I assure every American and certainly, especially the president, the Canadians will fight. We will stand up and fight. That includes making decisions about how we spend our money. We will not spend money in a country that wants to do economic harm to Canadians.”

"If the president does choose to proceed with tariffs on Canada, Canada will respond and everything is on the table," said Trudeau during a news conference Tuesday in Montebello, Que., where his team is gathered for a two-day cabinet retreat.
"I support the principle of dollar-for-dollar matching tariffs. It's something that we are absolutely going to be looking at if that is how they move forward," he told reporters.
Trudeau is huddling with his team in Montebello, Que., for the government's annual winter cabinet retreat, which will be his last before he steps aside in March.

“I just want to get back to Canada as soon as possible with him,” Cindy Rowan told Global News on Friday while speaking about the ordeal facing her son Chase Delorme-Rowan.
On Monday, Rowan said her son remains in hospital and is still not able to be flown back to Edmonton where he and his family live, so she has rented a room near the hospital so she can be by his side.

- Description
- Donald Trump will not impose new tariffs on Canada and Mexico on his first day in office — but the threat could take form within weeks.
Speaking while signing executive orders at the White House after his inauguration Monday night, Trump said he planned to impose 25 per cent tariffs on the United States’ North American neighbours by Feb. 1.
“We’re thinking in terms of 25 per cent on Mexico and Canada because they’re allowing vast numbers of people, Canada is a very bad abuser also, and fentanyl to come in,” Trump claimed.
In response to the threat of tariffs, Canada’s Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly said the federal government will continue to try and prevent the tariffs through a “very strong border plan” as well as preparing a response to the threat.

- Palestinians cheered and wept after Israel freed 90 prisoners on Monday, the first day of a ceasefire suspending the 15-month-old war that devastated the Gaza Strip and inflamed the Middle East.
Fireworks were launched in celebration as buses carrying the Palestinian prisoners arrived in Ramallah on the West Bank.
Nidaa Zaghebi, a freed Palestinian prisoner, embraced her three children who she had left behind after her arrest by Israeli forces.
In Jerusalem where Israeli police prevented all kinds of celebrations, 18-year-old freed prisoner Rose Khwais said that she pined for freedom during her imprisonment.
More than 47,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks, according to medical officials in Gaza. Nearly the entire 2.3 million population of Gaza is homeless, and around 400 Israeli soldiers have also died, reports say.
