Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his government will be there for farmers, but in response to rapidly rising diesel prices, he offered no new measures. He says his government has done a lot to help farmers, including making a permanent cut to the gas and diesel tax that shaves off about five cents a litre, and he hopes a temporary federal fuel excise tax cut will be extended.

Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu says one of the most consequential proposed changes to the Canada Labour Code in the government’s new legislation is a special mediator role that will file a public report on sticking points in acrimonious negotiations. That 'sunlight' will help parties focus on getting a deal at the table, she says.

The hurricane set residents along Mexico's Pacific coast on edge once again after being walloped by powerful cyclones a number of times in recent years. Beaches emptied out and dark clouds swirled above choppy seas, while Mexican authorities temporarily suspended classes Tuesday in a number of areas.

Inside an oyster hatchery on the western shore of PEI, an array of plastic vessels pumps algae-rich water to millions of tiny black dots – some as small as poppy seeds. They’re teeny, tiny baby oysters, specifically bred from the few that have survived multinucleate sphere unknown, or MSX, a deadly oyster disease caused by microscopic parasites.

ELLERSLIE, P.E.I. (06/26/26) – A tour of the Bideford Shellfish Hatchery in Lennox Island First Nation on June 26, 2026. Pictured here, hatchery manager and geneticist Guy Perry in the algal rearing lab which is cultivated to feed oyster seed. The hatchery currently produces about 45 million oyster seed annually, a fraction of P.E.I.'s demand for roughly 400 million seed each year. It is developing MSX-resistant oyster seed to help combat the parasite's devastation of the P.E.I. oyster industry by selectively breeding broodstock from oysters that have naturally survived MSX. Its first batch of resistant seed was deployed last spring and has achieved an 85 per cent survival rate so far, offering hope for Atlantic Canada's oyster industry.
