Thousands descend on U.S. national parks to protest firings – National

Thousands of protesters descended on U.S. national parks over the weekend, from Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon and beyond, calling for the government to stop the sweeping federal cuts to public lands and protect the areas where millions of Americans work and play. President Donald Trump’s administration has, so far, slashed about 1,000 National Park Service jobs and fired an additional 2,000 recently hired employees within the U.S. Forest Service — cuts that many say will put the future of these lands in jeopardy, as well as lead to unsafe hiking and camping for visitors, unmaintained washroom facilities and long service lines. Protesters hold signs at Roosevelt Arch, the northern entrance to Yellowstone Park on March 1, 2025, in Gardiner, Mont. About 200 people sh...

The best ski hotels in Europe for a chic alpine stay

Then, there’s this chic middle ground, which actually, it turns out, is quite hard to define. Perhaps it’s the art, the encased flames dancing against the winterscape, the razor-sharp interiors softened with low-slung sofas or the angular glass structures pulling the snowglobe valleys inside. It’s beautifully designed, but not desperately so. It’s a little aloof, hard-to-get, elusive. Really, it’s the sort of good-looking stay that sends a sparks of excitement up your spine as you first set eyes upon it — an aesthetically on-point hideaway with serious cocktails, menus and spa. Preferably, well placed for whooshing down the slopes and trudging through snowy, biscuit tin Alpine villages.  Source link

Trump’s tariffs expected on Tuesday. How could Canada respond? – National

Tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods imposed by the U.S. government are expected to take hold on Tuesday, marking the start of a North American trade war. President Donald Trump signed the order to impose the devastating levies on his northern and southern neighbours on Feb. 1, saying the measures would help stop “illegal migration” and the smuggling of opioids into U.S. territory.In early February, Trump delayed the start date on the tariffs by 30 days after two phone calls between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Trump, and a Canadian promise to introduce new security measures at the border.Since the levies were announced, governments across the country have responded with how they will fight back against the duties. Here’s a look at some proposed national and provincial responses to t...

Trump will address Congress on Tuesday. Here’s what to expect – National

Donald Trump loves a good spectacle, and it’s hard to top a speech to a joint session of Congress. The House chamber is packed with lawmakers, and the president’s arrival is announced in a booming voice by the sergeant-at-arms, triggering cacophonous applause.

Here’s an idea of what to look and listen for:The most powerful people in American government are usually on the dais during an event like this. While the president addresses the nation, the House speaker and the vice president, who doubles as the ceremonia...
