Trump tariffs, Poilievre’s Arctic plan, Gaza ceasefire in trouble, and more

U.S. President Donald Trump says he wants to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum in order to bolster his country’s industries. Canada exports more than $12 billion worth of aluminum into the U.S. each year, and more than $10 billion worth of steel. Leaders in both industries bracing for the hit, while calling on federal and provincial politicians to be ready to act.

And: Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre says Ottawa should have more control over Canada’s Arctic. He is proposing a permanent military base in Iqaluit, more rangers in the area, and two additional ice breakers. Poilievre says he would fund the plan by cutting foreign aid.

Also: The ceasefire in Gaza is in trouble. Hamas and Israel are accusing each other of violations. Hamas is refusing to release the next group of hostages, and Israel says it is making military preparations. In a separate development, the Palestinian Authority says it will stop financially supporting families of those convicted or killed while attacking Israelis.

Plus: Ontario’s premier says he is going to Washington, Ukrainians in Canada ask for extensions on their stay, and more.
