5 Things You Need To Know For February 23, 2026

_{February 23rd is the 54th day of the year. There are 311 days remaining until the end of the year.}

Mother Nature is reminding us that Winter isn’t quite over just yet.

Environment Canada calling for a few more flurries today and a high of -3°C, with the temperatures dropping this afternoon. Tomorrow morning will be cold but dry before snow arrives in the afternoon.

Sunshine to finish the week with a high of 7°C.

A heart breaking overtime loss for the Canadian Men’s Hockey Team at the Winter Olympics on Sunday morning.

Jack Hughes scored the game winner for the U.S.A. who win gold with a 2-1 victory.

For the U.S., it’s their first Olympic gold since Lake Placid in 1980, 46 years ago to the date. Canada has beaten the U.S. for gold in 2002 and 2010 with NHL players.

The Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics have officially come to an end.

The silver gives Canada 21 medals at the Winter Olympics, eighth overall in the overall standings behind Norway (41), the United States (33), and host Italy (30).

Speed skaters Valérie Maltais and Steven Dubois were named flag-bearers for the closing ceremony.

Dubois captured a gold medal in the men’s 500 metres and was also part of the mixed relay team that earned silver. Maltais helped Canada repeat as Olympic champions in women’s team pursuit, while also earned bronze medals in the 3,000 and 1,500 metres.

For the first time ever, two cauldrons were extinguished simultaneously in two different cities – Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo bringing the Games to an end. At the Closing Ceremonies the Olympic flag was lowered and handed-over to the host of the next Winter Olympic Games – the French Alps 2030.

As of this morning you can start filing your 2025 tax return online.

The Canada Revenue Agency’s NETFILE system opens at 6 a.m. and allows taxpayers to electronically submit their personal income tax returns daily using certified software.

For most Canadians, the last day to file taxes is Thursday, April 30th. If you owe money to the government, the deadline to pay is also April 30th.

The Canadian Revenue Agency recommends filing your return early or before the due date to avoid interest and penalties.

The jacked, friendly bald guy with the earring on your bottle of household cleaner is retiring. Mr. Clean is done.

He said, “The rumors are true! I’m retiring and saying goodbye to the world of cleaning to pursue new hobbies . . . I’ve earned a little time off.” Mr. Clean has been on the job for 68 years. Introduced in 1958, Mr. Clean has a first name – Veritably.

He won’t be replaced. Procter & Gamble says there won’t be any significant branding or product changes, Mr. Clean is just retiring on March 4th. The company does say you should “stay tuned” to find out what’s next for Mr. Clean, so there’s a good chance this is a marketing stunt or the start of a new ad campaign.
