U.S. President Donald Trump will hit Canada with 25 per cent tariffs on Tuesday, with a lower 10 per cent duty for energy, government sources said — laying the foundation for a trade war with America's closest neighbours.

The federal government informed provinces Saturday that tariffs are coming, said the provincial sources, who cannot be named in order to share details that governments have not yet made public. It is not yet clear which energy exports would be included in the lower tariff category.

A new exhibit is coming to the Souris Valley Museum later this month as they welcome Ace Academy: Flight Experience, an interactive display produced by the Canada Aviation and Space Museum.

Ace Academy is a digital, motion-based exhibit that allows visitors to step into the cockpit of a Sopwith Ship Camel biplane, a historic aircraft from the First World War. Using their bodies, players control the plane—raising their arms to climb, tilting to turn, dodging enemy aircraft, and lining up their shots.

Canadian officials are anxiously waiting to see if U.S. President Donald Trump follows through on his threat to slap Canada with devastating tariffs Saturday.

Trump said Friday he is considering lowering tariffs on Canadian oil to 10 per cent after the White House confirmed he is going forward with 25 per cent levies on imports from Canada and Mexico.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said Friday night in Washington, D.C., that it was still not clear what would happen after Trump's latest comments.

The Midale Senior Mustangs are showing their appreciation for volunteer fire fighters and first responders at this Saturday’s playoff game against the Carlyle Cougars. Manager and coach for the Midale Mustangs Dustin Graham explains the reasoning for the recognition. 

Premier Scott Moe says the focus needs to be on de-escalating the situation as the United States threatens widespread tariffs on Canadian products starting today. 

U.S. President Donald Trump has said he will impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods unless the Canadian government strengthens border security, mainly around immigrants and illegal drugs.

President Donald Trump will implement 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports on Saturday as promised, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Friday.

"I was just with the president in the Oval Office and I can confirm that tomorrow, the Feb. 1 deadline that President Trump put in to place in a statement several weeks ago, continues," Leavitt said. 

Leavitt denied a news report that said the devastating duties might be delayed until March.

The Highway 39 Rivalry Cup between the Estevan Bruins and the Weyburn Red Wings will continue this weekend, but Estevan Police Chief Jamie Blunden doesn’t believe it will be decided just yet.

"I don’t think it’s going to be decided this weekend because I don’t believe the Red Wings are going to win the two games they think they're going to win," Blunden said. "If the Bruins are successful in winning those, it’s going to continue on."

With tariffs just a day away, prices will change this weekend, as Canada has also floated retaliatory tariffs against the U.S.

This would increase the cost of any product imported over the border, which could impact some of the nicer purchases that businesses or other organizations make.
