It was chaos.

That's how Renaldo Agostino would describe the last 24 hours in Windsor, hours ahead of a trade war deadline between Canada and the United States that wouldve forced alcohol distributors to not sell American-made alcohol in Ontario at midnight.

It started off early in the morning. We have a group chat with all the hospitality owners that were in a bit of a panic because they didn't know what to do about some of the products a lot of their customers wanted, said Agostino, a Windsor City Councilman from Ward 3.

Ward 3 is home to many of the citys busiest bars and restaurants, which also see many American customers ages 19 and older.

"You own a business in downtown Windsor, you're getting a significant amount of American customers who come here and they want their Jack Daniels, Agostino said.

Probably the biggest American brands we sell are going to be your bourbon. All the Jack Daniels line, all the Jim Beam line, said James Arbour, owner of Lefty's on the O.

Forty-eight hours before the ban was set to take place, Arbour says he stocked up his bar with American brands like Jack Daniels and Fireball while he still could. He would've been allowed to sell what he had in stock when the ban took effect.

Yesterday, I went out and bought some extra stock but just of particular things. I didn't want to go overboard because you don't know if it's going to last a day, a week or a month, Arbour said. If I cant buy it, somebody else can't buy it either, so it's not hurting us, it's hurting the people who want to drink it.

But just as American alcohol was starting to be pulled off shelves in Vancouver, President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau agreed on a 30-day pause of the tariffs.

In a statement on X, Trudeau said:

"I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border." "In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million." "Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together."

I'm glad to see some of these strict hard-line rules come into play when it comes to the fentanyl crisis, Agostino said. "We have been losing the war on fentanyl and it's time for some changes. And if these changes come into play like I'm sure they will, it's only a positive thing.

While Agostino says he and other Canadians felt hurt by some of the rhetoric, he feels positive about Monday's outcome. He hopes to see the two country's work better together moving forward.

That's what hurt the most here, just from my perspective. You kinda feel like this came out of nowhere," Agostino said. "That's not how you treat your best friend. Thats not the way we talk... we are far better together as allies than we could ever be apart.

A small-town bar in Monroe County is finding itself in the national spotlight after making an appearance in a Budweiser commercial set to air during this year's Super Bowl.

For a village of less than 3,000 people, moments in the spotlight are few and far between. However, in less than two weeks, the quaint little downtown of Carleton and the popular Carleton Hotel Bar will be seen by more than 120 million people.

We're all looking at it like oh my gosh, that is the hotel bar! longtime Carleton resident Chip Raines said.

All the bars across the country and you pick Carleton? another resident Sean Mulherin said.

Regulars at the Carleton Hotel Bar were stunned to see an aerial shot of their local hangout featured in Budweisers commercial for Super Bowl 59. The one person even more shocked than they are was the bars owner. He says he was never contacted by Budweiser and had no idea about the commercial.

I wish there was more to it it was just by chance, the bar's owner John Kaczmarek said.

Kaczmarek only learned about his bars commercial cameo from a customer who saw it online, and word of their newfound fame has only spread since.

My Bud rep was here today," Kaczmarek said. "He goes 'you know, me alone, (I) have 80 accounts. Think of how many accounts there are in the United States. How did they pick this?'

That question has stumped Kaczmarek, whos owned the bar for nearly 20 years. Its often filled with regulars, two-thirds of which Kaczmarek says he knows by name.

I probably know 60 to 70 percent of the clientele, Kaczmarek said. Everybody knows everybody, but that's the best thing of all that everybody knows everybody.

I've been coming in this bar since I was 21 years old, said lifelong Carleton resident Phillip Turner, who also helped remodel the bar.

I would say it's like the 'Cheers' of Monroe County," Raines said. "You walk in, everybody knows your name.

There's nothing like a small-town home hospitality, patron Alex Wellman said.

Why Budweiser chose Carleton Hotel Bar is still unknown to Kaczmarek. It's possible even Budweiser doesn't know and the scene was simply generic stock footage of a small town that the editors put into the commercial.

However, these patrons say for a commercial like this, a local bar surrounded by small-town scenery in a building first built before Budweiser even existed all makes for the perfect setting.

It's a small-town farm community and I thought it was really fitting for the commercial," Mulherin said. "Budweiser, they killed it.

I thought it was pretty cool because I did the outside work, of course," Turner said. "Nice view, nice shot.

In a village of less than 3,000 people, those two to three seconds of fame will be talked about for years to come.

Even with it just being a two-second, three-second aerial shot, still really cool," Wellman said. It's really cool for the community to have something like that happen.

I absolutely love the commercial. I think its really cool, Kaczmarek said. "We're a small town, a lot of people love it... It's really uplifting for us.

You can catch the full advertisement during the Super Bowl or view it on Budweiser's YouTube page.

On a Thursday afternoon, traffic is constant on the Ambassador Bridge. According to the bridge's website, it's the busiest international crossing in all of North America with roughly $323 million worth of product crossing the border every single day.

But soon, the costs of that product could go up dramatically.

On day three in office while speaking to the World Economic Forum, President Donald Trump again proposed the idea of tariffs, just days after pledging to implement a 25% tariff tax on China, Mexico and Canada on Feb. 1.

If you don't make your product in America, which is your prerogative, then very simply, you will have to pay a tariff," Trump said.

Dale Hadel works in Sterling Heights for Citic Dicastal, which claims to be the worlds largest producer and exporter of aluminum wheels. They supply to most auto assembly plants in the U.S. and are concerned about Trumps tariffs and potential retaliatory tariffs.

We do a lot of business with all three countries... We export a lot of products into Mexico today and into Canada, Hadel said. "If we have to raise prices because of tariffs to our customers, which is the OEM manufacturers, they in turn have to pass that along in the price of the vehicle.

I spoke to two industry experts one from Michigan and the other from Canada who both agree that the American consumer would likely bear the brunt of the costs.

"At the end of the day, its going to be felt by the customer, said Mike Wall, auto analyst at S&P Global Mobility. The suppliers and the supply chain can not weather a 25% tariff.

Flavio Volpe is president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association in Canada and says 30% to 40% of the parts used at Michigan auto plants come from Canada. Parts can often cross the Detroit River seven times before final assembly. A tariff on every crossing would mean exponential costs.

Ground zero for the impact of a 25% tariff in automotive is Detroit-Windsor, Volpe said. "All of these companies getting hit with a tariff when it crosses the border means all of them will be operating at a loss, and how long can you do that?

While the goal of the tariffs is to encourage U.S. manufacturing as more investment is made in Mexico, both experts say the auto supply chain has relied on this open-border trade for decades.

It's hard to divorce ourselves from that supply chain. It's nearly impossible in the near term, Wall said. "All the pieces and parts that go into these vehicles, that's how they've been sourced for the better part of these last few decades.

We're married and we don't want to leave that marriage," Volpe said of Canadian-American trade. "We're all going to hurt at the same time.

While the countries' leaders argue, both Canadian and American consumers agree that costs are already too high.

Things are getting a bit expensive," Carlonte Kyles from Pontiac said. "I see gas working its way up and everything. The price of living is just going up."

With the cost of living as it currently is, that obviously is a concern, Nick Sapardanis of Windsor, Ontario said.

While those on both sides hold their breath, those in the middle hope a resolution comes quick.

Watching the negotiations and trying to figure out what action we will take when and if there is tariffs, Hadel said. We're hoping that there's some rationalization of the USMCA agreement and not bailing out of the USMCA agreement so everyone wins. Our customers win, our clients win and the tariffs are mitigated in some way shape or form.

Arctic air in metro Detroit is causing major issues for homeowners including frozen pipes.

There was a blast of heat in the bitter cold as the crew at Z Plumberz was working to unfreeze the pipes underneath Luis Alcaldes manufactured home in Northville on Wednesday night.

When we wake up about 6 to 7 o'clock, there's no water whatsoever," Alcalde said. "We try to call plumbers, but we can't find any. Theyre so busy right now.

Alcalde finally got a hold of Z Plumberz, which said they've been receiving countless calls from people needing assistance.

"We have every person we got on call ready to go, Z Plumberz general manager Brian Harnos said.

Harnos says the night before, crews were busy until 4 a.m. or 5 a.m.

If you notice that your water is not running and you think it's frozen somewhere, give us a call immediately because we do not want those pipes bursting, Harnos said.

Thats exactly why Nicole Meisner in Oak Park gave them a call once she realized her faucets upstairs were not turning on.

When I learned this was an emergency, I was really worried about it, Meisner said. "Right now, we have to keep the cabinets open because they said that would help the pipes reheat.

Meisner was waiting for a crew to help thaw out her pipes just like theyre doing at the Alcalde's house.

We have heat guns, we also have pipe-thawing machines that actually send electrical currents through there to actually get that frozen pipe unfrozen, Harnos said.

Above all, Harnos says the biggest thing homeowners should take away from this is to be proactive. They can do so with their faucet using one simple trick.

When it gets this cold, keep that water dripping just a little bit," Harnos said. "It really makes it hard to freeze.

"We learn from this experience right now," Alcalde said. "This is the first time this happened to me.

I wish I could go back in time and make the decision and trust my instinct, Meisner said.

Metro Detroit organizations are working around the clock this week trying to make sure those experiencing homelessness have a safe and warm shelter to spend the night during a stretch of dangerous temperatures.

It was a packed house Tuesday night at the Pope Francis Center Bridge Housing Campus on Detroits west side. More than 70 people were spending the night on cots inside the gymnasium, including 64-year-old Daniel Nellum.

I got here yesterday and I'm glad I came in," Nellum said. "It's cold out there.

Nellum says hes been living on the streets since April. He learned of this overnight shelter from the folks at St. Paul's church. He had been trying to stay warm in gas stations.

The Bridge Housing Campus recently opened in June and is meant to provide temporary housing for three to four months. However, during certain situations like the bitter cold this week, they open up their gymnasium as an emergency shelter. It can house up to 100 people.

Its sad it's gotten to the point of record numbers of folks," said Chris Harthen, director of Housing and Advocacy at the Pope Francis Center. "It's really a humanitarian crisis right in our backyard.

Hartnen says the cold weather has only magnified what has been a growing crisis in Detroit. In the last year, traffic at their day center has increased 40% to 50%. The emergency shelter just opened Sunday. They are working with the city and other community organizations to provide transportation to the shelter for those who need it.

We're trying to have as much coverage as possible. Obviously, it's a pretty big city and most of the folks are gathered in areas like downtown," Harthen said. "But throughout the city, we're finding folks and they are being brought both to us and other shelters throughout the city.

The Salvation Army has also been busy keeping their Bed & Bread trucks running seven days a week.

Today, we were giving away hot soup to people, warm clothes, winter apparel, that kind of thing, said Major Charlotte Hall, commander of the Salvation Army Detroit Metro Area.

At the Pope Francis Center, they also provide showers, food and help people with permanent housing. Nellum says they already found him an affordable housing apartment that hell be moving into in the morning.

It's just so wonderful, so wonderful," Nellum said. "God is... Hey, he heard my prayers.

The Pope Francis emergency shelter is available at PFC's Bridge Housing Campus located at 2915 W Hancock Street, Detroit, MI 48208. If you are in need of shelter during this cold weather emergency, you may walk in or contact them at 313-964-2823, ext. 201.

The center can also help with transportation and will keep the center open throughout the weather emergency.

A Detroit neighborhood woke up to a frozen river stretching two blocks long after a water main break flooded Vaughan Street on the city's west side.

The main break happened at the intersection of Vaughn and Constance streets, which is in the area of Joy and Evergreen roads.

Crews from the city's Water and Sewage Department and Department of Public Works spent Monday afternoon clearing the ice in an attempt to access the main break.

It was just one of multiple main breaks crews were responding to in the midst of frigid temperatures hitting the city.

It's that time of year, time of year you get water main breaks all over," said Frank Mathews, who lives on Vaughan. "I'm just lucky they're out here trying to see what they can do to mine.

The Mathews' home of 20 years is directly in front of this main break. The city shut off water for him and his neighbors to prevent further flooding.

"Not having water? It's not fun. Believe me, it's not fun, Matthews said.

Matthews says it started over the weekend as gushing water spread at least two blocks, turning into solid ice up to the sidewalk. It was a danger for residents walking or even driving their cars.

It is what is is," Pamela Mathews said. "This is what happens when you live in a city with aging infrastructure, old pipes.

The Detroit Water and Sewage Department says by early Monday afternoon, they had more than 10 main breaks across the city due to the frigid temps. On Vaughan Street, the city says the first calls came in Sunday and by Monday afternoon, crews were salting and clearing the street, so they could access the broken section of pipe underground.

"We have several breaks right now, so the ones we're prioritizing are where it's causing a safety issue like this where the street is flooded and iced over, or where people are without water, said Bryan Peckinbaugh, spokesperson for the city of Detroit Water and Sewage Department.

Actually, I was pleased to see they came out as quickly as they did because this had to have happened late Saturday night, early Sunday morning, Pamela Matthews said.

As for the Mathews family, Frank says he used to work in underground piping and did the same work in cold weather.

It's not fun believe me it's not fun," Frank Mathews said. "You got on layers of clothes, you're soaking wet half the time, it's not fun at all.

As night came, the city says a pump the crew needed failed in the cold temps. Residents will have to go the night without water, but the hope remains it will be fixed Tuesday morning.

If you do see a main break on your street, report it to the Water and Sewage Department immediately at 313-267-8000 or use the Improve Detroit app.

For smaller breaks, it may take two to three days for crews to respond to fix them.
