4: The Canada and US hockey teams take to the ice tonight for the final game of the 4 Nations Face-Off. Tensions between the two teams are red hot amid Donald Trump’s threats to implement punishing tariffs and make Canada the 51st US state – which the president reiterated in a post wishing the American team good luck. The puck drops at 8.20 p.m. ET.

27: Tensions on the ice are reinforced by a new Leger poll, which shows that more than a quarter of Canadians – 27% – see the US as an “enemy,” a sign of the stunning transformation in what was one of the world’s most stable geopolitical relationships since Trump took office.

70: Trump’s plan to impose 25% tariffs on imported steel and aluminum on March 12 could impact prices at the grocery store by raising prices of manufacturing cans in the US. This could make everything from canned food to beer more expensive. The US annually produces 135 billion metal cans – 115 billion aluminum beverage cans and 20 billion steel cans. With 70% of steel can materials imported, manufacturers will likely face higher costs that would eventually be passed on to consumers.

3,800: University of Florida researchers installed 39 cameras in Gainesville's storm sewers, documenting a surprising diversity of wildlife over 60 days. They captured 3,800 sightings of 35 different species, including 50 alligator appearances and 1,800 raccoon visits. Alligators used the tunnels to travel between ponds and to hunt fish, while mischievous raccoons occasionally stole the cameras. The study also spotted bats, armadillos, and various bird species in the underground network.
