The U.S. is now hitting some Canadian industries with tariffs as high as 50%, and Canada says it will respond dollar-for-dollar starting next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister Mark Carney says the sticking points included auto tariffs, restrictions on Canada making trade deals with other countries, and U.S. demands affecting language, culture and sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ontario, Quebec and B.C. are likely to feel the biggest impact \u2014 meaning businesses and consumers could face higher costs as the dispute continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ontario should have below-average snowfall in parts of the province. For Southwestern Ontario, it could mean fewer prolonged cold snaps, but still plenty of opportunities for snow and messy winter weather; basically: potentially a milder winter, but definitely not a snow-free winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PWHL<\/a> has a problem \u2014 Montreal\u2019s championship cup has gone missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Walter Cup belonging to the Montreal Victoire did not arrive as expected in Lethbridge, Alberta, where it was to be displayed. The shipping container arrived, but the 35-pound sterling silver trophy wasn\u2019t inside, and the event had to be postponed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PWHL is working with the shipping company to find it. Unlike the NHL\u2019s Stanley Cup, there\u2019s no dedicated trophy handler travelling with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last public sighting of the trophy appears to have been a little over a week ago, when some Victoire players brought the trophy to the Canadian Open in Montreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The missing trophy is the championship trophy given to Montreal to keep \u2014 the original cup remains safely at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
