The snow day email arrives before dawn, glowing softly on my phone. Even after all these years, that early morning message still feels like a small miracle a quiet signal that the city has agreed to pause. As a child, it felt like winning a secret lottery. As an adult and a school principal, the feeling hasn't left me.

Canadian travellers are still unhappy with President Donald Trump, and that's affecting the 2026 outlook of visitors to the US from Canada.

Just a few weeks earlier, Hurricane Dorian had slammed into our home in the Bahamas, a country I'd lived in my entire life. My family had spent 24 hours trapped in our attic, praying the roof would hold before evacuating to nearby Florida. Once we arrived, we found ourselves stuck in immigration limbo. For as long as possible, we tried to remain in Florida, close to home.

That spring, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) had announced it would not open elver fishing season, citing illegal fishing as a threat to stock health and commenting that the fishery "has also become the focus of harassment, threats and violence," with incidents creating "an immediate threat to the fishery management and public safety." For most people, to be fishing now would mean breaking the law.

Some residents are still struggling to get by as snow clearing efforts continue three weeks after Toronto's record-breaking snowfall. The lack of snow clearing on sidewalks forced Regal Heights neighbourhood resident Megan Rodd to walk on the road when taking her two young children to daycare.
