Winter Storm Near Miss: Southern Ontario Could Still See Heavy Snow

  A major winter storm developing across the central United States is expected to track close enough to southern Ontario this weekend to bring the risk of significant snowfall. While the core of the system is projected to remain south of the border, its northern edge may still sweep across regions from Windsor to the Greater Toronto Area. Forecasters say the exact path remains uncertain, but current projections suggest that areas along and south of Highway 401 could see notable accumulations if the storm shifts even slightly north.

Historic Arrest Warrant Issued for South Korean President Amid Political Turmoil


In a historic move, a South Korean court has issued warrants to detain impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol and search his office. This unprecedented decision follows Yoon's controversial declaration of martial law earlier this month, which has plunged the nation into its most significant political crisis in decades.

The Seoul Western District Court approved the warrants after the Joint Investigation Headquarters requested them, citing allegations of insurrection and abuse of power against Yoon. Yoon, who has been suspended from his duties since December 14 following a National Assembly vote for his impeachment, faces possible life imprisonment or the death penalty if convicted.

Yoon's brief imposition of martial law on December 3 led to widespread political turmoil, halting high-level diplomacy and rattling financial markets. Despite repeated requests by investigative authorities, Yoon has refused to appear for questioning or allow searches of his office.

The court's decision marks the first time South Korean authorities have sought to detain a sitting president. The anti-corruption agency investigating Yoon's actions has no immediate plans on how to proceed with the court-issued warrants, given the potential for clashes with the presidential security service.
