In an effort to help ease financial stress for Canadians, the federal government introduced the "Working Canadians Rebate" earlier this week - which will give people an extra 250 dollars this spring. But some retired seniors say that initiative unfairly excludes them.

And: The Canadian dollar is hovering at its lowest level in five years. The long, slow decline sped up after Donald Trump’s election win in the U.S. Also: No deal…. yet. There is a draft agreement at the COP meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan but negotiations over who pays for climate adaptation – and how much – are ongoing. Plus: Two men convicted in Minnesota for human smuggling, tourists poisoned in Laos, bike lanes in Ontario, and more.

The federal government says it will lift the GST on certain items for two months. The prime minister also says Canadians who earned less than $150,000 last year will get a $250 cheque. It could mean more sales. But will it do anything to help a crisis of affordability?

Moscow also released its nuclear doctrine — lowering the threshold for when the country would use nuclear weapons. Also: A shelter is opening in Calgary that’s only the second of its kind in Canada. It’s to protect victims of intimate partner violence. But it’s not for women — it’s for men and their children. Domestic abuse against men is on the rise, but it’s a crime that isn’t often exposed. Plus: Trudeau at the G20, Canadians less supportive of immigration, COP day 9, Randy Boissonnault under pressure, and more.

Following a bitter U.S. election campaign, a triumphant Donald Trump returned to the White House for a meeting with President Joe Biden.

And Canada is watching closely. And: Nearly a decade after Canada started a national bank of umbilical cord blood, only a few dozen units out of several thousand have been used.

By any measure, it’s a historic comeback: From two impeachments and electoral defeat in 2020, to felony convictions and conspiracy charges, to a decisive victory early this morning. Donald Trump's reelection is the first time in two decades a Republican has won the popular vote. His party is also likely to control both houses of Congress. The results underscore a major re-alignment of the American political landscape. Trump’s ambitious agenda includes ending the war in Ukraine, imposing tariffs on imports, and mass deportations. And that’s just on day one. His election sent the US dollar surging. Canada is already pushing for exemptions from those tariffs, and launching a charm offensive to keep trade relations sweet. People in Ukraine and the Middle East worry how Trump’s ascendancy will affect the wars where they are.
