Intro

Four U.S. senators are in Ottawa trying to smooth the trade relationship between the two countries, ten days before the latest Trump tariff deadline.

And: Israel’s military is shelling Deir al Balah. The central Gazan city is one of the few places considered somewhat safe… it’s critical to aid groups, and may also be where Hamas is hiding many of the remaining hostages.

Also: Canadian women say they’re being forced to look abroad for treatment for lipedema. It’s a chronic and sometimes painful condition, but in Canada – treatments are limited, and not usually covered by provincial plans.

Plus: Russia bombards Ukraine’s capital, Quebec man charged with daughter’s murder, evacuation order in Newfoundland’s Musgrave Harbour, and more.
