“We are Canadian.” Days after taking aim at the Trump Administration in Davos, Prime Minister Mark Carney tries to rally his cabinet in Quebec ahead of a new session of parliament, as they work on plans to address the complex U.S. trade issue, as well as a host of other foreign and domestic concerns.
Also: Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ is introduced to the world. The group’s reported mandate is to rebuild Gaza. More than 30 countries have signed on so far, including many from the Middle East. However, traditional U.S. allies, like Canada and European nations, have not committed. Many say they are unsure about the board’s long-term goals, and the $1 billion price tag for permanent membership.
And: Ontario’s beleaguered Marineland amusement park tells Ottawa there are only two choices for its captive whales and dolphins: a future in the U.S., or death.
Plus: ICE detains Minneapolis pre-schooler, status of Greenland plan, Ukraine front and centre at Davos, and more.
