Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday he told U.S. President Donald Trump that he meant what he said in his speech at Davos, and told him Canada plans to diversify away from the United States with a dozen new trade deals. Carney rolled his eyes and rejected U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's contention to Fox News that he aggressively walked back his comments at the World Economic Forum during a phone call with Trump on Monday.

"I'm so sad, I'm so angry,"

The shift comes as some snowbirds grow uneasy about the political climate under U.S. President Donald Trump. John Kawiuk and Sharron MacKay, from Mississauga, told CBC Toronto they started feeling apprehensive after years of wintering in Florida. There was situations where we weren't welcome, MacKay said. Even from a security standpoint, as Canadians, we just didn't feel comfortable anymore. So they changed their plans and bought a place in Campeche, Mexico, last year.

A group of Toronto cyclists are in Ontario's highest court on Wednesday to defend their successful challenge of the province's plan to rip up three stretches of the city's bike lanes.

The Court of Appeal for Ontario will hear the provincial government's appeal of the case on Wednesday.

Canada's economy could gain nearly seven per cent, or $210 billion, in real GDP by fully removing internal trade barriers between the country's 13 provinces and territories, according to a report published Tuesday by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). On average, the barriers are the equivalent of a nine per cent tariff nationally, estimates the report, which was co-authored by IMF researchers Federico J. Diez and Yuanchen Yang with contributions from University of Calgary economist Trevor Tombe.

F or my party-the Conservative Party of Canada-2025 was an annus horribilis. We suffered a string of strategic missteps, failed to break through to voters on the issues that dominated the national conversation, and paid the price in both public confidence and political momentum. I won't revisit every episode here, but we must acknowledge the reality of a very difficult year and learn from it.

They really test you with their speed and their ability to spread you out. I think we created some looks at times, just not able to break through earlier to change the momentum of the game. And then, unfortunately, we just didn't execute as well as they did, and they just made some better plays with the puck. At times our puck play wasn't as sharp and it slowed us down a bit. Obviously, somewhere, we've got to get better.

In mid-January, it was announced that the Stanley Cup would be making an appearance at the Lac La Ronge Indian Band communities of north-central Saskatchewan.

During his recent delegation to Beijing-the first by a Canadian prime minister since relations between the two countries became strained in 2018-Mark Carney agreed to allow 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles into the Canadian market at a reduced tariff rate. The move was presented as a pragmatic reset that could draw joint-venture capital back into Canada's auto corridor and offer relief to an industry squeezed by United States president Donald Trump's trade war.

Federal prosecutors charged a man with wire fraud, alleging a "Catch Me if You Can"-reminiscent scheme.

Marineland, the Canadian amusement park and aquarium which has threatened to kill its captive whales, wants government approval to sell the belugas to the United States after its China export proposal was rejected, according to an official and a former trainer. The former tourist attraction near the famed Niagara Falls has been mired in controversy for years. Twenty animals, including 19 belugas, have died at the park since 2019, according to a tally by the Canadian Press.

For Encarnación it was going to be tough to make an argument for why he should be a hall of famer. He had a lot of really good seasons, but never had one of those all-time great stretches, although between 2012 and 2019 he hit 297 home runs, had an OPS of .892 and and OPS+ of 138. He was worth 29.1 bWAR while playing with the Blue Jays, Cleveland Guardians, New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners over that run.
