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.

Russia Reviews Nuclear Test Preparations Amid U.S. Moves

 

                                           President Vladimir Putin


Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced that work is underway on President Vladimir Putin’s directive to explore the feasibility of resuming nuclear weapons testing. The order, issued during a Security Council meeting on November 5, tasked the Foreign Ministry, Defense Ministry, intelligence services, and civilian agencies with drafting proposals on how Moscow might prepare for such tests.

Lavrov emphasized that the instruction has been formally accepted and is currently being implemented. He noted that the public will be informed once the proposals are finalized. The move comes in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent statement that Washington intends to restart nuclear testing after a 30-year hiatus. Putin has previously said Russia would only resume testing if the United States takes the first step.

The development highlights growing tensions between Moscow and Washington over arms control agreements, particularly the moratorium under the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). While both nations have observed the moratorium for decades, Trump’s announcement has raised concerns about a potential breakdown in nuclear restraint.

For now, Russia maintains that its preparations are conditional, tied directly to U.S. actions. However, Lavrov’s remarks underscore the seriousness with which Moscow is treating the possibility of renewed nuclear competition.
