The Manitoba government is planning to eliminate a little-used rule that says students must sing "God Save the King" every school day.

The provision has not been enforced in decades but was recently revived in the Mountain View School Division in western Manitoba.

The move was met with public opposition from those who said it was not consistent with truth and reconciliation measures.

Education Minister Tracy Schmidt says the bill, if passed, would also require school boards set up a policy on land and treaty acknowledgments in schools.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick says he expects President Donald Trump will pause tariffs on Canada and Mexico until April 2.

Lutnick told CNBC he expects an agreement today on goods he says are compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade.

His comments come a day after Trump granted a one-month exemption for any vehicles coming through CUSMA after the Big Three automakers had a conversation with the president.

Although his new book is an autobiography, Devon Clunis is quick to point out that the story in his new book isn’t merely his own.
