In Scarborough, there's this fire behind our eyes. A passion in our bellies. It's in the hearts of our neighbors. The eyes of our nurses. And the hands of our doctors. It's what makes Scarborough, Scarborough. In our hospitals, we do more than anyone thought possible. We've less than anyone could imagine.

But it's time to imagine what we can do with more. Join Scarborough Health Network and together, we can turn grit into greatness. Donate at lovescarborough.ca. From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Neil Herland. U.S. President Donald Trump says he will unveil new tariffs on all imports of steel and aluminum later today.

And Trump says Canada will not be exempt. That means some $20 billion in steel trade could be disrupted. Peter Armstrong has more. We'll also be announcing steel tariffs on Monday. Donald Trump was speaking to reporters about his plan to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico when he pivoted unexpectedly to steel and aluminum imports. Including Canada and Mexico. Yeah, any steel coming into the United States is going to have a 25% tariff.

Canada sends about six million tons of steel to the U.S. every year. Add another nearly three million tons of aluminum. But as we saw when similar tariffs were imposed during Trump's first presidency, tariffs would drive up costs in the U.S. as well. Karl Schamada, chief market strategist at the financial services firm Corpay, says consumers would feel these tariffs quickly. It'll also raise prices for products made with steel and aluminum, things like cars, appliances and beer. Peter Armstrong, CBC News, Toronto.

And we're getting reaction from the steel industry in this country. Catherine Cobden is president and CEO of the Canadian Steel Producers Association. Well, certainly we're very concerned. We do not yet know the details. We do not, for example, know whether for sure Canada would be included. I would hope that our primary objective as a country is to get us excluded from these tariffs and I think that we have a very compelling story to tell as Canada. We've done some incredible things. If these tariffs proceed, they will

be devastating. Canada provides 20% of the imported steel in the U.S. The Prime Minister will deliver remarks today at a summit on artificial intelligence in Paris. Justin Trudeau is urging global leaders to work together on responsible AI. As Olivia Stefanovich reports, the technology is moving faster than most countries are prepared for. Artificial intelligence is going to have the kind of impact on our society that

the development of electricity did. Just before the AI summit began, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a warning to world leaders. If we have a similar delay in terms of AI adoption around the world, the consequences will be even more catastrophic and more painful, not just for those who don't have access to it, but for the divisions and the conflicts that will result. Trudeau is urging his global counterparts gathering in Paris this week to work together on a solution as the U.S. and China vie for AI dominance. Trudeau will make the case over the next two days at the conference hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron and India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Olivia Stevanovic, CBC News, Paris. A massive winter storm is hitting the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland with up to 35 centimeters of snow and winds up to 110 kilometers per hour. The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl last night beating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22. Steve Futterman was there. The Kansas City Chiefs quest to make history and become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls fell flat. The Philadelphia Eagles jumped out to a 24-0 halftime lead, then made it 34-0 before the Chiefs finally got on the scoreboard. Philadelphia was led by quarterback Jalen Hertz.

He threw two touchdown passes, ran for another. Two years ago, he lost in the Super Bowl to the Chiefs. This time he was named MVP. He's got a long journey, a journey of ups and downs and highs and lows. Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a miserable night. He had three turnovers, including an interception that was run back for a touchdown. You only get so few of these and you have to capitalize on these and they hurt probably more than the wins feel good. For eagle fans here like

Liz O'Shea, it was a perfect game. Oh, so happy, so excited. I knew we could do this. Next comes the parade in Philadelphia. Steve Futterman for CBC News at the Super Bowl in New Orleans. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Herland.
