Canada reacts to Trump’s tariff plan, Lebanon ceasefire deal, Bernardo parole hearing, and more

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico is causing leaders here to come out strongly. The prime minister says he had a “good call” with Trump. But the premiers are worried, and so are farmers, energy workers, exporters and others who watch the relationship closely or depend on trade. Trump says he wants to combat drugs and illegal immigration, but the tariffs are likely to punish the U.S. too.

And: Israel’s prime minister is supporting a ceasefire deal in Lebanon. The ceasefire is expected to take effect at 4 a.m. local time Wednesday. Netanyahu says this ceasefire — which will mean an end to the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah — will allow Israel to focus on fighting Hamas and Iran, and on freeing Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Lebanon’s prime minister has also welcomed the deal.
