Canada's wildfire seasons are growing longer, larger and more destructive, according to a six-decade analysis of fire records by the federal government's Canadian Forest Service. Hanes is the lead author of both the 2019 and 2025 national studies examining long-term changes in Canada's wildfire regime. The dynamics Hanes describes are no longer abstract datasets but have played out repeatedly in recent wildfire seasons across the country. Pricing the fire riskThe shift in the wildfire landscape is also being felt in Canada's insurance industry, which is warning that rising wildfire risk is reshaping losses, premiums and long-term housing decisions across the country. "Our job is to price risk," McGuinty said, noting that in areas of Canada with greater wildfire exposure, insurers have had to make "changes to insurance policies."

My father was a Sixties Scoop survivor who was taken to residential school in Manitoba. (Submitted by Alexander Redhead)I sometimes felt a quiet emotional distance between us — not because he didn’t love me, but because he had grown up in residential school without consistent safety or affection. My father didn’t have a choice. It was about listening to the child in front of me, and the child my father once was. A national 24-hour Indian Residential School Crisis Line is available at 1-866-925-4419 for emotional and crisis referral services for survivors and those affected.

(Julio Cortez/The Associated Press)Gais is among several U.S. ex perts tracking a series of references in the ICE recruitment posts that, while obscure to most, seem to be wink ing to extremists. In October, the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, posted an image of George Washington on horseback with the URL to the ICE recruitment page. Beirich wonders how many of those applicants were drawn by the controversial social media posts. But far-right groups have been responding favourably to the social media recruitment campaign, recirculating the posts on their own social media channels. But when asked by U.S.-based media about its social media posts, DHS has denied it was referring to white supremacist material.

A massive winter storm continued in the United States on Sunday morning, dumping sleet, freezing rain and snow across southern states and up through New England, bringing frigid temperatures, widespread power outages and treacherous road conditions. "It is a unique storm in the sense that it is so widespread," weather service meteorologist Allison Santorelli said in a phone interview. As of Sunday morning, about 213 million people were under some sort of winter weather warning, she said. Splintered and downed trees lie across a neighbourhood street as a winter storm moves through Nashville on Sunday. Weather service forecasters predicted record cold temperatures and dangerously cold wind chills descending further into the Great Plains region by Monday.

TLDRHealth Canada has introduced new rules to double the amount of vitamin D in certain foods like milk and margarine to ensure Canadians, especially teens, get enough of this essential nutrient. Vitamin D, also known as the sunshine vitamin, is crucial for bone and teeth health, immune system function, muscle stamina, and brain health. As sunlight is less available in Canada during winter, these new regulations aim to help people maintain adequate vitamin D levels.

Following threat, Carney posts ad saying Canada's focused 'on what we can control'Trump threatens 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada strikes deal with China | Duration 8:25U.S. President Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, saying, 'If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a 'Drop Off Port' for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken.' This tariff threat comes after Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, a speech widely perceived as pushback for U.S. actions.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to impose crippling tariffs should Ottawa and Beijing sign a trade deal is unacceptably coercive and mimics China’s behaviour. The speech was a political victory for Carney, garnering him a wave of positive media coverage both within and outside Canada. Trump then escalated the situation on Saturday with a social media post threatening to impose 100 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports should a Chinese-Canadian trade deal be signed. Relatedly, it sometimes feels as if Carney wants to simply annoy Trump without any further plan, even though the costs of angering him are painfully predictable. Fear of Trump saved the Liberals from electoral oblivion last year, so it’s not a stretch to imagine that it is being politically misappropriated, again.

The good news is that senior government officials confirm that the two per cent target remains firmly on track. For readers surprised that defence spending could advance so smoothly, despite historically slow procurement systems and few headline-grabbing announcements, here is the explanation: much of this early spending has been deliberate, foundational and largely invisible to the public. The most visible investment arrived last August with a significant boost to Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) pay and benefits. Taken together, these investments suggest the government is actually positioned to meet its two per cent commitment this fiscal year.
