According to the <em>Wall Street Journal (WSJ)<\/em>, most metal imports come from the United States&#8217; closest trading partners: Canada, Mexico, Europe, South Korea and Japan. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Experts<\/strong> agree that all tariffs cause inflation. The cost of the tax is passed on to consumers. In addition, the specific taxes on aluminium and steel will first affect the industry.  <\/li>\n<li><strong>Trump<\/strong> did this during his first term, claiming it would boost domestic steel and aluminum production. According to <em>the WSJ<\/em>, the steel and aluminum tariffs are strategic and not intended as a negotiating tactic. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Even if US<\/strong> producers switch to domestic steel and aluminum producers, they are likely to pay higher prices. With a tariff of 25%, domestic producers in the US could raise their prices by up to 15% and still be able to compete. This confirms inflation concerns.  <\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Bank of Canada<\/strong> says the trade war will hurt Canada more than the US. <em>GDP<\/em> would fall for both countries, but the loss of GDP would be much greater for Canada, because we have a more open economy and exports are mainly oriented towards the US. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Politics in Ontario<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Election Day in Ontario is February 27! Vote by mail or in person!  <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ontario&#8217;s<\/strong> four major party leaders are <em>Marit Stiles<\/em>, leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP), <em>Mike Schreiner<\/em>, leader of the Ontario Green Party, <em>Bonnie Crombie<\/em>, leader of the Ontario Liberal Party, and <em>Doug Ford<\/em>, current Ontario Premier and leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives (PCs).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ontario<\/strong> Liberal leader <em>Crombie<\/em> and NDP leader <em>Stiles<\/em>, seen as <em>Ford&#8217;<\/em> s main rivals, both made a series of election promises in the first two weeks that did not detail how much the measures would cost taxpayers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Meanwhile<\/strong>, Ontario Green Party leader <em>Schreiner<\/em> is the first and only leader to explain the expected costs of his promises in his political platform.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Ford<\/em><\/strong> has also failed to explain the costs of his election promises, but as Premier he controls the provincial budget and his government is likely to have prepared a fully detailed budget.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Polling analysts<\/strong> reported that based on the latest polls, the Ontario PCs are currently projected to win about 45% of the vote, about 100 seats in the Ontario Parliament. It is currently difficult to determine who will be the official opposition, the NDP or the Liberals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The War in Ukraine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Let us honour the courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people<\/strong>. Together, let&#8217;s make February 23 a day with a strong reminder of our unwavering unity and determination to stand together with Ukraine until victory.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>On February 23<\/strong>, we gather in cities across Canada for<strong>Ukrainian-organised<\/strong>protests to mark the <strong>third anniversary of<\/strong> Russia&#8217;s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. <strong>Glory to Ukraine!<\/strong> Follow the LNAK calendar and the LNAK Facebook page.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trump<\/strong> wants what he calls &#8220;<em>equalization<\/em>&#8221; of the support the US has given to Ukraine after the full-scale Russian invasion. He wants this payment to be in Ukrainian rare earth metals. Trump wants a payment worth 500 billion US dollars.  <\/li>\n<li><strong>Surrender and betrayal<\/strong> &#8211; these are the words used by Ukraine&#8217;s allies in the US and Europe to describe President Trump&#8217;s announcement that he has agreed with the Russian leader to immediately start negotiations on ending the war in Ukraine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Europeans<\/strong> insist that such negotiations must not take place without Ukraine and Europe&#8217;s participation. Trump had an hour and a half telephone conversation with the Russian President on Wednesday, which he described as &#8220;very productive&#8221;. <\/li>\n<li><strong>The US<\/strong> Secretary of Defence stated that it is unrealistic for Ukraine to achieve its war goas &#8211; to drive Russian troops out of the Crimean peninsula and the eastern part of the country, and to restore Ukraine to its pre-2014 borders. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Latvian<\/strong> Foreign Minister Baiba Bra\u017ee (New Unity) said in an interview on Wednesday that the US President&#8217;s telephone conversations with the Russian leader and Ukrainian President Zelensky are only the beginning of a possible peace process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Our security situation<\/strong>, the strength of NATO, America&#8217;s central role in NATO, the deployment of forces that are with us: it will be very important for us that this is not weakened in any way,&#8221; said Bra\u017ee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ukrainian<\/strong> President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that he will not accept any agreements between Moscow and Washington without Ukraine and its European partners.<\/li>\n<li>In a joint statement with France, Germany, Poland, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom, <strong>European Union<\/strong> foreign affairs representative Kaja Kallas stressed that Ukraine&#8217;s independence and territorial integrity are non-negotiable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>NATO<\/strong> Secretary General Mark Rieth said that Ukraine should be closely involved in all decision-making about Ukraine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Latvia and the European Union<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On Thursday, <strong>the State Security Service<\/strong> detained pro-Kremlin activist Aleksandrs Gapo\u0146enko for his remarks against the Latvian state at a discussion in Moscow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Prosecutor General&#8217;s Office<\/strong> handed over a criminal case to the court on Thursday for desecrating a legionnaries&#8217; memorial site on the orders of the Russian special services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Not Serious<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>An online petition<\/strong> calling for Denmark to buy California has already gathered more than 200,000 signatures.
