Delays at Toronto's Pearson airport may continue today as investigators work to determine what caused Monday's fiery crash landing of a Delta Air Lines plane with 80 people on board. 

Investigators with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada said Tuesday they've recovered the plane's black box and sent it off for analysis, but it's too soon to say what led to the crash.

Airport authorities said the wreckage of the aircraft was expected to remain on the runway for about 48 hours until the investigators finish their work. 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in Brussels today as Canada works to deepen its trade and defence ties with Europe.

The prime minister landed in the Belgian capital around 10 a.m. Wednesday morning. His one-day visit includes a meeting with NATO secretary-general Mark Rutte and the European Union's two most senior leaders.

Ursula von der Leyen has been president of the European Commission since 2019, and her job involves directing the EU's policy agenda and legislation.

U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to impose across-the-board tariffs on Canada — not to mention his musings about making the country the 51st American state — have unleashed an uncharacteristic wave of patriotism across the country, marked by acts big and small. From flag-inspired Montreal bagels to Super Bowl boycotts, here are some of the ways Canadians are expressing their displeasure with U.S. actions and showing home-country pride.

Here's a look at some of this week's top news photos as selected by The Canadian Press editors.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 7, 2025.

The appointment of singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie to the Order of Canada has been terminated by the Governor General.

The move was announced in the Canada Gazette, the federal government newspaper.

It says the appointment was terminated by an ordinance signed by Gov. Gen. Mary Simon on Jan. 3.

The move comes after a CBC report in 2023 questioned Sainte-Marie's Indigenous heritage, saying it found a birth certificate that indicated she was born in 1941 in Massachusetts.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says North Americans can feel some relief but not declare victory after U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to not impose sweeping tariffs on Canada for another month.

Moe told CBC the 30-day pause is a positive step and will allow leaders to continue their engagement efforts to prevent the U.S. from imposing the tariffs.

Following a phone conversation Tuesday afternoon, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that U.S. President Donald Trump is pausing threatened 25 per cent tariffs on most Canadian goods. Trudeau says he and Trump discussed Canada's $1.3 billion border plan, which includes helicopter patrols, and announced $200 million in new initiatives to address fentanyl trafficking.

These new initiatives include a joint Canada-U.S. organized crime task force, Canada listing drug cartels as terrorist entities, and the appointment of a "fentanyl czar."

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office says he spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump this morning and will speak with him again later this afternoon.

The call comes as Canadian leaders respond to Trump's 25 per cent tariffs, which are set to take effect on Tuesday.

Trump has linked his coming trade war with Canada to fentanyl crossing the border into the U.S., but in a post on Truth Social today he raised an entirely new grievance.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced last night Canada will retaliate after U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed 25 per cent tariffs against Canadian goods would go into effect Tuesday.

Trudeau said Saturday that Canada will respond with 25 per cent tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods, including alcohol, furniture and natural resources.

Ottawa is imposing 25 per cent tariffs on hundreds of goods originating in the United States — from meat and milk to carpets and curtains — in response to steep new American levies against Canada.

The federal government released a detailed list of the retaliatory tariffs on $30 billion in goods Sunday, less than 24 hours after U.S. President Donald Trump forcibly dragged Canada into an unprecedented trade war.

Trump signed executive orders Saturday evening to hit America's closest neighbour with damaging duties of 10 per cent on energy and 25 per cent on everything else.
