After President Donald Trump postponed duties on Canadian imports for 30 days, Ontario Premier Doug Ford halted several retaliatory actions against the U.S., including the cancellation of a C$100 million contract with Elon Musks Starlink. At first, Ford planned to compel the removal of American goods from liquor store shelves and prohibit U.S. corporations from provincial agreements. He underlined that this halt helps avoid serious economic harm and permits further negotiations. The Starlink agreement allowed fifteen thousand distant homes and businesses highspeed internet connections.

With Google Sheets improved Gemini AI tool, users can quickly analyse data, spot trends, and produce visualisations.

The AIs use is limited to larger datasets because it works best with spreadsheets with fewer than one million cells. Those who have Gemini Education addons, Google One AI Premium subscribers, and Google Workspace Business and Enterprise Standard/Plus users can get the upgrade. This is an advancement in incorporating AIpowered data analysis into routine processes. Read More..
