Ontario is bracing for a blast of winter weather this week, with forecasters warning of significant snowfall across the north and lake-effect squalls set to hammer southern regions as November draws to a close.
By Thursday, a release of Arctic air will funnel across the Great Lakes Basin, dropping temperatures and fueling strong winds of 60–80 km/h. Those gusts are expected to push lake-effect snow squalls into the snowbelts downwind of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, with forecasters warning that even the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) could see bursts of heavy snow
Prime Minister Mark Carney is being peppered by the Opposition Conservatives over a dismissive remark he made Sunday at the G-20 summit in South Africa.
When asked by a reporter when he last spoke with U-S President Donald Trump, Carney responded "Who cares?" -- and went on to say he has "no burning issue" to raise and that Canada will return to trade talks when America signals it's ready.
Tory Leader Pierre Poilievre accused Carney of ignoring workers hurt by U-S tariffs.

Rachel Curran, director of public policy for Meta Canada, says other jurisdictions, including more than 20 U.S. states, have proposed or brought in legislation targeting app stores.
