🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Ont. opposition urges legislature recall as 50% U.S. tariffs hit Canadian goods. Hiniling ng mga partidong oposisyon kay Premier Doug Ford na i-recall ang Queen’s Park para talakayin ang lunas sa taripa matapos unang ipatupad noong Sabado ang 50 porsiyentong taripa ng U.S. sa bilyon-bilyong dolyar ng kalakal mula sa Canada; tinawag ni Ford na “gutter politics” ang panawagan sa recall habang pinalawak naman ang kwalipikasyon para sa Protect Ontario financing program ng lalawigan.

  2. Doug Ford softens public rhetoric after calling Trump names, then seeks a deal. Matapos ang mga naunang insulto, sinabi ni Ford sa CNN noong Martes na nais niya “ng magandang kasunduan para sa mga Amerikano” at inamin na “medyo uminit ang ulo,” kasunod ng mga pambabatikos ni Trump sa social media at mungkahing palitan ang pangalan ng Lake Ontario.

  3. Trump says U.S. is “considering” renaming Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’. Nag-post si President Trump sa Truth Social na binibigyan ng “seryosong konsiderasyon” ng U.S. ang pagpapalit ng pangalan ng Lake Ontario sa “Lake America” habang lumiit ang ugnayang pangkalakalan sa Ontario; ipinataw ng U.S. ang 50 porsiyentong taripa sa mga kalakal na nagkakahalaga ng humigit-kumulang 28 bilyong dolyar na Kanadyano.

  4. Ontario students face bigger debts as OSAP grant share falls from 85% to 25%. Simula Agosto 1, binawasan ng lalawigan ang bahagi ng hindi kailangang bayarang tulong mula sa OSAP mula 85 porsiyento tungo sa pinakamataas na 25 porsiyento at pinayagan ang pagtaas ng matrikula hanggang 2% taun-taon sa loob ng tatlong taon; sinabi ng bagong grad student sa U of T na si Aidan Jeffers na plano niyang magtrabaho ng 25–30 oras kada linggo at maaaring gumamit ng mga food bank.

  5. Two men charged after seizure of ~50g meth, fentanyl and a homemade electric weapon. Nagsagawa ang OPP ng search warrant sa South Frontenac noong Agosto 21 at nakumpiska ang tinatayang 50 gramo ng methamphetamine, dalawang gramo ng hinihinalang fentanyl, iba't ibang tableta, isang camper, isang ATV, humigit-kumulang 1,000 dolyar na Kanadyano at isang homemade conducted-energy weapon; isang 38-anyos ang nahaharap sa maraming kaso ng trafficking at mga kasong may kinalaman sa pagnanakaw.

  1. Blue Jays pitcher Dylan Cease launches AGO capsule collection featuring his painting.

  2. 11 newborn puppies found abandoned in Brantford, now in foster care and rescues. Kinuha ng Hillside Kennels ang 11 na isang hanggang dalawang araw gulang na tuta mula sa isang kahon at inilipat sa Sato Saved End of the Line Dog Rescue; ang isang tuta ay may cleft palate at kakailanganin ng tube feeding, at kalaunan ay nakahanap na rin ng mga foster.
