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. Some models indicate the potential for 10–20 centimetres of snow, with locally higher amounts possible if lake‑enhanced bands develop.

Ford Urges Canadians to Reject Chinese-Made EVs Amid Growing Trade Tensions

 

Ontario Premier Doug Ford speaks to the media regarding the federal government's decision to allow Chinese EVs into Canada at Queen's Park in Toronto on Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026. 


Ontario Premier Doug Ford is calling on Canadians to boycott electric vehicles manufactured in China, escalating his criticism of the federal government’s recent decision to allow a large number of Chinese EVs into the Canadian market at reduced tariffs.

Ford argues that the move threatens Canada’s rapidly expanding EV manufacturing sector—particularly in Ontario, where billions have been invested in new battery plants and auto production. He says cheaper imports could undercut Canadian workers and weaken the country’s long‑term industrial strategy.

The premier has also expressed frustration that provincial leaders were not consulted before the federal agreement was finalized. He maintains that Canada should prioritize vehicles built domestically or by long‑standing North American partners, rather than opening the door to what he describes as unfairly subsidized foreign competition.

Ford’s comments add fuel to an already heated national debate over how Canada should balance affordability for consumers with the protection of its emerging EV industry. If you want, I can expand this into a longer article, add quotes, or adjust the tone.
