Ontario to make Ring of Fire a special economic zone 'as quickly as possible': Ford
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province intends to designate the mineral-rich Ring of Fire as a special economic zone as quickly as possible. He says he and several ministers will consult all summer with First Nations about the new law that allows the Ontario government to suspend provincial and municipal rules before making the designation. The law seeks to speed up the building of large projects, particularly mines. First Nations are livid about the new law and say it tramples their rights and ignores their concerns. The province passed Bill 5 on Wednesday despite several weeks of First Nations protests throughout the province and at Queen's Park. Critics also say the bill guts protections for endangered and threatened species.

Carney and Trump are holding direct talks to drop tariffs: sources
Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump are having direct discussions to reach a trade deal and lift tariffs, according to sources with knowledge of their talks. The two leaders agreed even before Canadians went to the polls this spring that they would chart a new economic and security deal, but the Canada-U.S. relationship appeared to hit a snag earlier this week when Trump doubled tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports. The tariffs, now at 50 per cent, are a further blow to the Canadian industries that are the U.S.'s biggest supplier of the metals. In response, Carney only said "intensive discussions" were ongoing and that his government was readying reprisals if negotiations with the United States failed. Sources, who spoke to CBC News and Radio-Canada on the condition they not be named, now say the two have been talking on the phone about reaching a deal. WATCH | Canadian exports to U.S. are dropping: Canadian exports to U.S. fell more than 15% in April as Trump tariffs hit 25 minutes ago Duration 4:05 There have been no public readouts of the calls. Carney and Trump met publicly last month at the White House, but no direct communication between the leaders had been confirmed since then. Earlier this week, Radio-Canada reported that Ottawa is hoping to reach an agreement with the Trump administration before the G7 summit — just 10 days from now in Alberta. Earlier this week, Trump's envoy to Canada, Ambassador Pete Hoekstra, told a crowd in Toronto the deal "is being settled at the highest levels of the U.S. government with the involvement of the highest elected officials."
