For the second day in a row, Liberal Leader Mark Carney has been pulled away from campaigning to discuss U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. 

Carney, in his role as prime minister, will meet virtually with Canada's premiers today to discuss the country's response to Trump's latest duties.

The president signed an executive order earlier this week to implement 25 per cent levies on all automobile and auto part imports — his latest move to upend global trade through a massive tariff agenda that pushed some automakers' stock prices down on Thursday.

Significant snowfall Thursday night into Friday has led to the closure of several Manitoba highways.

The province is reminding motorists that closure gates and message signs may not be present at closure locations. Motorists are encouraged to avoid the closed highways and find another route.
