Winter’s Arrival: Toronto Prepares for Sunday Snowfall

                                                      T oronto snow. Toronto is under a special weather statement as forecasters predict 2 to 10 cm of snow across the Greater Toronto Area beginning Sunday morning and continuing into the evening. The system is expected to bring a mix of rain and snow, with temperatures hovering near freezing, raising the possibility of slippery roads and transit delays. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has already begun winter preparations, including salting platforms and readying snow-clearing equipment. Commuters are advised to plan ahead, as the first snowfall often leads to slower service and longer travel times.

Differing Reactions: Mexico Shows Commitment While Canada Misreads Tariff Mandate

 

The White House has observed a stark contrast in responses to President Trump’s latest tariff order. In official remarks on Monday, senior economic adviser Kevin Hassett noted that Mexico has demonstrated a “very, very serious” approach to meeting the conditions outlined in the executive order. In contrast, Canadian officials and commentators have interpreted the tariff imposition as the start of an all-out trade war.

The tariffs—imposed on goods from Mexico, Canada, and China—are part of a broader U.S. strategy aimed at curbing illegal immigration and the flow of fentanyl into the country. Hassett stressed that while the measures are designed to pressure trading partners to address these issues, “Canadians appear to have misunderstood the plain language of the executive order,” suggesting that Canada’s reaction is disproportionate compared with Mexico’s measured response.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, for her part, has maintained a calm and pragmatic stance, indicating readiness to negotiate and implement additional steps if required. U.S. officials believe that this cooperative posture could help de-escalate tensions and set the stage for further discussions.

Critics on both sides warn that misinterpretations and overreactions could have serious economic repercussions. As the debate over tariffs continues, the administration appears keen to highlight Mexico’s commitment as a model of compliance—contrasted sharply against what it views as Canada’s excessive alarm.
