Doug Measures

Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a 9-billion-dollar support plan to help industries hit by trade duties, while Carney described trade negotiations with Washington as showing a slight warming. In Quebec and elsewhere, businesses report steel prices doubling, squeezing manufacturers. The moves highlight growing pressure on Canadian industry as trade talks with the United States continue.

Election results from Simcoe County show Doug Measures losing the Clearview mayoralty, with McArthur winning the mayor's chair. The result is drawing attention across the Collingwood area, where residents are following local council changes and what the new leadership will mean for the township going forward.
