Billions in counter-tariffs, ceasefire and hostage deal approved, Canada’s border plan, and more
Description
Radio-Canada has confirmed the Trudeau government could unveil its first round of counter-tariffs as soon as incoming U.S. president Donald Trump is sworn in on Monday. That first round – tariffs on $37 billion worth of American goods.
And: Israel’s prime minister says hostages will be released on Sunday, after the security cabinet approves the ceasefire deal. Fighting in Gaza has not abated since the deal was announced, and dozens have died in the past two days. A recent study suggests the number of deaths in Gaza so far has been undercounted for months… and thousands more are dead.
Also: Karen Pauls goes to the Canada/U.S. border to see how Ottawa’s enhanced measures are working. The plan includes more officers, and more technology, including drones and Blackhawk helicopters.
Plus: Family members blocked from visiting loved ones in long-term care, food insecurity in Canadian cities, businesses struggle to prepare for tariff threat, and more.
