Beirut Reels as Israeli Airstrikes Intensify Amid Expanding Regional Conflict

                                     Smoke rises after an Israeli strike in central Beirut's Bachoura neighbourhood Israeli warplanes struck central Beirut in the early hours of March 18, delivering some of the most intense bombardments the city center has seen in decades. The attacks destroyed residential buildings in densely populated neighborhoods such as Bashoura, Zuqaq al-Blat, and Basta, killing at least six to twelve people according to varying Lebanese authority reports.  The strikes come as the broader conflict widens following Hezbollah’s involvement earlier in the month and escalating tit-for-tat actions between Israel and Iran.

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.
