A worker assembles a snow plow at Arctic Snowplows in London, Ontario, on December 10, 2025. For decades, Arctic Snowplows has sold its Canadian-made galvanized steel products to "anywhere there is snow" across the border in the United States, says company boss Mike Schulz. But a year into President Donald Trump's trade war, some of those customers have been lost, with buyers unwilling to stomach higher prices forced by US tariffs on imported steel. "Adding an extra $500 (US$363) on the cost of a $10,000 plow, it's a huge hit," Schulz told AFP, as a heavy snow fell outside the company's factory in London, Ontario, 190 kilometers (120 miles) southwest of Toronto.

Venezuelans and Colombians in Bogotá tackle three big questions on their post-Maduro future
Claudia Castañeda, 47, a Colombian artisan and Bogota resident, poses for a portrait among her handicrafts in Bogota, Colombia, Jan. 5, 2026. Nathalia Angarita/The Globe and Mail. 1. How do you feel about the US operation that removed Maduro from Venezuela? “Honestly, it was intense. But if God allowed things to happen, it was for a reason. God, the universe, everything conspired for this to take place. And if this is going to be for the good of Venezuela and the Venezuelan people, then welcome it. It’s very sad to see so many people from Venezuela who had their property there, their lives there, and were forced to leave everything behind to come here simply to try to find a better future. I don’t think that’s fair. I hope everything turns out to be for their benefit.” 2. How seriously do you take President Trump’s threats against President Petro? “Honestly, I do believe he’s someone to be reckoned with. Just as he carried out what he did in Venezuela, I believe he could do the same here. There’s no need to be extreme or panic, but we also shouldn’t be too passive because if he was able to do it there, why wouldn’t he be able to do it here?” 3. How do you see life changing for you after this military action next-door? “We’ll have to see what decisions the current government makes. It could affect us, and affect us greatly, or it could benefit many people here in Colombia. If Venezuela’s economy starts to recover and prosper, I think many Venezuelans living here will migrate back to their country. They’ll want to reclaim their benefits there, and that would benefit Colombians here. If we look closely, there are many Venezuelans in Colombia who have displaced Colombian workers, not because they don’t have a right to work, because they are human beings just like us, but it’s a complicated situation. This could open space for many Venezuelans to return home, rebuild their lives, recover their belongings, and at the same time create
