And: Alberta premier Danielle Smith says Canadians should be prepared for tariffs imposed by the U.S. She went to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and met the incoming president. And Smith says she expects him to make good on his threats. Canadian leaders are preparing lists of retaliatory measures.
Also: “Closer than ever.” Reports suggest a ceasefire agreement in Gaza could be signed before Trump takes office next week. Trump has threatened “all hell will break loose” if there is no deal by then. His vice-president J.D. Vance says that means enabling Israel to knock out the rest of Hamas.
Plus: The future of pharmacare and federal dental care, the worst year for insured losses for weather events, the price of mail goes up, and more.
