From CBC News, the world is our. I'm Tom Herrington. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has held a virtual meeting with the country's premiers. They talked about the Trump administration's threat to impose tariffs on Canadian goods. There appears to have been some

tension among the First Ministers. Trudeau supports the principle of dollar for dollar retaliatory tariffs. But following the meeting, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he disagrees with that idea. Very targeted tariffs, small targeted tariffs that don't have an impact on our economy. We have had discussions with the federal government about our support for those broad-based tariffs. Dollar-for-dollar tariffs with the U.S. is not in Canadians' best interests, nor should export tariffs ever be considered by our government. In a post on X following the meeting, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith reiterated her opposition

to any tariffs on her province's energy exports. New Democrats convened a strategic planning session today with their MPs in Ottawa. It could be the last caucus retreat if the party follows through with its promise to topple the Liberal government at the first opportunity. As David Thurton reports, the NDP is focused on the tariff threat. So now that Donald Trump has taken office, he's again reiterated the threat of tariffs against Canada. Emerging from his caucus retreat, Jagmeet Singh's remarks focused entirely on Donald

Trump and his threat to put a 25% tariff on Canadian goods next month. The NDP leader spoke about his plan and how that differs from other political leaders like the conservatives. I think Pierre Paulyev has shown that he's out of touch with where people are at. Things are changing. And with the election of Donald Trump, it certainly means people are worried about what Donald Trump means to Canada. Singh has said for some time that the conservative leader has no plan.

For his part, Singh supports dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs, severing the supply of critical minerals and restricting energy exports. David Thurton, CBC News, Ottawa.

now burning for a third consecutive week. Red flag warnings for critical fire danger are in effect through Thursday.

He's one of more than 35 million people from Texas through Georgia to Florida who've been hit by the deadly deep freeze.

New Orleans City official Joseph Thret is also struggling, the city seeing snow for the first time in 15 years. We're not a snow city so we don't have plows. In a region that rarely sees snowfall, it's caused chaos on the roads and led to the cancellation of more than 2,000 flights. Houston Mayor John Whitmire. This is a serious arctic blast. It's dangerous.

It's life-threatening. Schools remain closed in many of the states as the once-in-a-generation winter storm blankets the south. Nick Harper for CBC News, Washington. Israel says its soldiers killed an alleged Islamic jihad militant in Gaza. It is the first time since the ceasefire began on Sunday, the Israeli military said its truck targets in Gaza. It is not clear whether the killing would affect

the agreement between Israel and Hamas. Meantime in Jenin, Palestinians fled on foot as Israeli forces pressed ahead with a major military operation in the occupied West Bank city. It is now in its second day. Local health officials say at least 10 Palestinians have been killed. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Tom Harrington. Thanks for listening.
