Many Canadians were shocked by U.S. President Donald Trump’s sudden decision to impose 25 per cent tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum, contradicting his earlier promise to wait until March 4. Canada’s premiers are now in Washington, D.C. attempting to persuade Trump of the harmful impact these tariffs will have. Meanwhile, the newly-appointed fentanyl czar, Kevin Brosseau, has come into the spotlight. In other news, Trump has raised the possibility of resettling Gazans in Jordan and Egypt, adding pressure by threatening to cut off U.S. aid if these countries do not comply. This move has potential to escalate tensions in the Middle East. Closer to home, the family of Jon Wells, an Indigenous man who died following a confrontation with Calgary police, are still seeking answers and accountability almost five months later. On a more positive note, Canadian, American, Swedish, and Finnish NHL players are gearing up for the 4 Nations Face-Off, the first best-on-best international hockey tournament in years. The excitement is palpable among some of the biggest names in the game.
