U.S. President Donald Trump's team is indicating he won't hit Canada with damaging tariffs on his inauguration day.

Shortly before Trump was sworn into office Monday, an incoming White House official who insisted on anonymity pointed reporters to a Wall Street Journal report that said instead of tariffs Trump will instead sign an executive order launching an investigation into alleged unfair trade and currency practices by Canada, Mexico and China.

Government House Leader Karina Gould says she’s ready to throw her hat in the ring to replace Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader.

Gould says in a video posted to social media that Canadians have lost faith in the party and the Liberals need to earn back their trust.

She says the party needs to rebuild with a leader who has a track record of standing up to bullies and won’t back down.

The 37-year-old millennial is the youngest candidate to declare, just days before the official deadline to enter the race.

Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney says he’s ready to replace Justin Trudeau and lead the Liberal party into the next election.

He made the announcement at a community centre in Edmonton Thursday afternoon, ending nearly a decade of speculation about his political ambitions.

"I'm back home in Edmonton to declare my candidacy for leader of the Liberal party and prime minister of Canada," Carney said, flanked by supporters and Liberal members of Parliament endorsing his candidacy.

Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney signalled through his campaign team Friday that he will launch his bid to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as leader of the Liberal party late next week, after garnering support from more than two dozen Liberal MPs in the past few days.

And in an interview airing Saturday, former B.C. premier Christy Clark told CBC Radio's The House that she is "very seriously" considering a leadership bid, but expressed disappointment with the short timeline for the race.

Liberal MPs are meeting in Ottawa today for the first time since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he will step down.

The national caucus meeting, set to take place both in person and online, was originally set to last six hours to give MPs time to discuss Trudeau's previous refusal to resign.

Now, the focus will be on next steps for the party as it begins a national search for a leader who can hold their own against popular Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

Justin Trudeau said he will resign as prime minister and leader of the Liberal party following a leadership contest, after months of growing calls from within the Liberal caucus that he step down for the good of his party.

A teary-eyed Trudeau told reporters outside Rideau Cottage, his official residence in Ottawa, on Monday that he reflected on his political future over the holidays and told his kids Sunday evening over dinner that he has decided it's time for him to move on.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called a news conference in Ottawa this morning amid growing calls for his resignation.

The Prime Minister's Office called reporters to Rideau Cottage for 10 a.m. ET and Trudeau is set to speak at 10:45 a.m. ET.

It follows months of speculation over whether Trudeau will decide to step aside and trigger a leadership race.

The head of the North American Aerospace Defence Command says Chinese and Russian air co-operation in the Arctic has Norad's "full attention."

Those two countries for the first time staged a joint patrol in the Arctic near the coast of Alaska last July.

U.S. Gen. Gregory Guillot told The Canadian Press in a year interview that it potentially takes decades for two nations’ militaries to reach "full integration" at a level like the U.S. and Canada.

A former chief adviser and close friend to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he doesn't think Trudeau will stay on to lead the Liberals in the next election.

Gerald Butts writes in a Substack newsletter today that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's recent resignation from cabinet dealt Trudeau a staggering blow that loosened his already tenuous grip on the party.

He says Trudeau was "unlikely" to lead the party into the next campaign before Freeland's stunning departure and is "now much less likely to do so."

Canada appears to be barrelling toward a spring election now that the NDP is vowing to vote down the government early next year — whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stays on or not.

Political watchers are abuzz over the possible scenarios that could play out in the coming year following last week's drama that rocked Trudeau's government, and a springtime national campaign is the one that's solidifying the fastest.
