Many people in this country breathed a sigh of relief last evening. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that U.S. President Donald Trump has agreed to delay threatened tariffs by 30 days. The tariffs would have affected a wide-range of industries across the country, and the seafood industry in this province would have been among the hardest hit. The CBC's Alex Kennedy reached Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey after Trudeau's announcement.
Many people in this province are double-checking their grocery lists, to find out what is and isn’t Canadian- made. President Donald Trump has threatened a 25-per cent tariff on most Canadian goods, and some Canadians been boycotting all American products, finding ways to support Canadian. The CBC’s Amy Feehan took to the streets of Corner Brook on Monday to hear how they were taking a stand.
At least ten branches of major banks have closed in NL over the past few years. But Candace Matthews says when one bank account closes, perhaps a credit union account needs to open. Matthews is manager of member experience and communications with The Atlantic Edge Credit Union.

Amateur photographer Stu White is pretty happy these days. He's originally from Stephenville and lives in Mount Pearl, and his photo of a pair of red fox cubs in Bonavista just won him a big prize.

Public transit in Corner Brook and St. Anthony is getting a boost from the provincial government.

People in the Roddickton-Bide Arm area will never forget it. The town's arena was packed this past weekend as the NHL Legends of Hockey Tour made a stop in the Northern Peninsula town. It was an exciting matchup, with former NHL players facing off against local players. CBC reporters Alex Kennedy and Leila Beaudoin were there, taking in all the action. They spoke with fans and players about what the event meant to the community.
February is Black History Month, and Laurabel Mba is asking young, Black people in this province to share their creativity and express themselves. She's a a diversity, equity-and-inclusion and anti-racism specialist, and she hopes to encourage Black youth to talk about their own experiences of being Black in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The provincial government announced on Friday that cuts to immigration numbers won't be as severe as previously thought. The federal government has agreed to add back one-thousand economic immigration spaces for 2025, including nearly 3-hundred humanitarian refugees. That's a change of heart from mid-January when the federal government announced it would cut in HALF the number of immigrants permitted to settle in this province. Sarah Stoodley is the provincial minister of Immigration, Population growth and Skills.
Plans by World Energy GH2 to produce hydrogen in the Stephenville area are on hold. A statement from the company last week said, "The green ammonia market is not maturing at the rate expected." The company also says the market will dictate the timeline for its proposed project. That leaves the business community hoping that the company will continue with their plans for wind turbines, with other industries benefitting from the power. Debbie Brake-Patten is president of the Bay St. George Chamber of Commerce. She and Stephenville Mayor Tom Rose spoke with Radio-Canada's Patrick Butler.
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business has given Newfoundland and Labrador an "F" on its Red Tape Report Card.

People in the province were given more information this week on the seriousness of a cybersecurity incident on the PowerSchool platform. PowerSchool is an online platform that allows parents, guardians and students to see their grades, get announcements, and more. Users across North America were affected by a data breach.If you're a student or a teacher — or if you were one in the past 30 years -- you'll need this info. Krista Lynn Howell is the province's minister of education.
The "Crossroads of the World" is taking a fresh look at its image and how to market it. The airport town of Gander is taking what it's calling a re-branding journey, and it's looking for your help.

The Invictus Games are coming up in British Columbia from February 8 to 16. It’s an international sporting event for wounded, injured and ill veterans, as well as members of the armed forces who are still serving. Two men from this province will be proudly representing Team Canada. A few weeks ago, we spoke with Clifford Samms from the Codroy Valley. Today, we met Andre Crocker of Fall River, Nova Scotia, who grew up in Trout River.
As soon as this Saturday, U.S. president Donald Trump could impose punishing tariffs on Canadian goods that are sold south of the border. That would have a big impact on this province’s mining sector. Mining accounts for 7.3 percent of NL's Gross Domestic Product. Amanda McCallum is the CEO of the Mining Association of Newfoundland and Labrador. She spoke with the CBC’s Elizabeth Whitten.
When you hear the word "hospice," of course, the end of life comes to mind. But a special program at the hospice in Grand Falls-Windsor is very much focused on seizing every moment until the end comes. Lionel Kelland Hospice has a "Forever Moments" program. The most recent experience they created was a big movie night for one resident and their family. Tanya Murphy handles community engagement and communications for the Lionel Kelland Hospice. Krista Reid joins us on the line as well. Her family benefited from a "Forever Moment" in July, 2024.
Earlier this month, we learned about a proposal to build the country's first commercial spaceport on the Burin Peninsula. The project, by Ontario-based company NordSpace promises 200 local jobs. The company is aiming for a test flight this summer and the first orbital flights in about three years. It may sound strange to think of launching rockets from St. Lawrence, but the plan is just one of this province's connections to outer space. The CBC's Leigh Anne Power looked into the matter,
The characters in the video game series Super Smash Bros. burst onto the scene in a flurry of leaps, spins, kicks and punches more than 25 years ago - and players still love them. Gamers take on the identities of characters from other popular video games and fight it out with each other. Super Smash Bros. is -- well, it's still a "smash" among players, The CBC's Amy Feehan checked out a tournament in Corner Brook.
The federal riding of Bonavista-Burin-Trinity stretches from Conception Bay to Gander Bay and most points in-between. It's about to be renamed as Terra Nova-The Peninsulas, and will now include the east side of Placentia Bay. We wanted to learn what’s important to people in the massive rural riding. Troy Turner has been travelling throughout, and he joined us from our Gander studio.
Most of us don't think a whole lot about the running of an airport, as we fly in or out. But the folks in charge of those massive properties put a lot of thought and planning into it. On Tuesday night, Deer Lake Regional Airport set course for the next five years as the airport authority launched its new strategic plan. Tammy Priddle is president and CEO of the Airport Authority.
