Thunder Bay - Although the Canada-U.S. trade war has been delayed by 30 days, tariff concerns still loom over the forestry industry. "People are very worried. The 30-day reprieve is welcome, but in reality, it means nothing until the issue is resolved," said Ian Dunn, CEO of the Ontario Forestry Association. Dunn said that 97% ($7.7 billion) of Ontario's wood products are traded with the U.S., and a 25% tariff would have a $2 billion impact. "Look at what happened during the pandemic, when there was a supply shortage in the U.S. market because factories had fewer employees, reducing the supply of lumber in the market," Dunn said.

It has been 4 years since Myanmar's military strongman Min Aung Hlaing launched the coup on February 1, 2021. The days of uncompromising people fleeing into the jungle to cooperate with 'Ethnic Armed Organizations' (abbreviated as EAOs) in armed resistance have also entered their 4th year. Four years of brutal warfare have devastated Myanmar. According to the UN's 2024 human rights report, the civil war has led to nearly 2 million internally displaced persons in Myanmar, with over one-third of the country's population, about 18 million people, in urgent need of humanitarian aid. In the intense fighting in northern Myanmar, on January 18, 2025, China mediated a ceasefire agreement between the Myanmar military and resistance forces.
