Closure of Louise Bridge extended
The Louise Bridge shut down on Friday and was expected to open yesterday. However, the bridge is still closed, and information on the city's website notes it will stay closed until June 1.
A spokesperson for the city said during a bridge inspection crews found 'some accelerated corrosion.'
'We are inspecting additional locations this week and developing a plan to repair the affected areas. Repairs to signals at the south end of the bridge are also underway and will be completed this week during the bridge closure,' they said.
The closure impacts both directions of the bridge as well as the west and east side sidewalks.

B.C. asks PM Carney to keep softwood on radar as tariff deadline looms
B.C. Premier David Eby says the federal government cannot forget about the fate of British Columbia's softwood lumber industry as the deadline for a trade deal between the United States and Canada is hours away. Aug. 1 is the deadline the United States has set for a trade deal with Canada, and Eby says he hopes his province's softwood lumber industry remains on the 'radar' of Prime Minister Mark Carney as Ottawa continues negotiations. 1:59 No word on Canada-U.S. trade deal progress, as Trump's deadline nears Eby told an unrelated news conference that the industry has been the 'canary in the coal mine' signalling American protectionism, saying Canadian softwood exports have been subject to 'unfair duties' for the 'better part of almost two generations,' well before the current trade dispute triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump. Story continues below advertisement But Eby says the dispute's long-standing nature does not mean the industry 'should be ignored,' and resolving it could actually help broker a larger deal.

While other industries such as Ontario's automobile sector are important, Eby says the prolonged length of the softwood lumber dispute and pre-existing duties should not lead to the assumption that the industry is not a 'priority.'

E. coli: ground beef sold at Montreal grocery store recalled
Montrealers who purchased lean ground beef from Supermarché Épilys are urged to return it as it could contain E. coli bacteria. The meat, which is sold refrigerated in a polystyrene tray covered with plastic film, is being recalled as a precautionary measure. It was solely sold at the supermarket on Pie IX Boulevard. Those who bought it should return it to the supermarket or throw it away. 'It should be noted that proper cooking of meat destroys E. coli bacteria that produce shigatoxins. The preparation of cooked dishes, such as spaghetti sauce, shepherd's pie, or meat pie, requires a fairly long cooking time and a sufficiently high temperature to destroy the bacteria,' said the Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation (MAPAQ) in a news release. No cases of illness associated with the recalled beef have been reported to the MAPAQ. 'Foods contaminated with shigatoxin-producing E. coli bacteria do not necessarily show visible signs of spoilage or have a suspicious odor, but consuming them can cause serious, even fatal, illness,' according to MAPAQ. Symptoms include diarrhea and abdominal pain, often with bloody stool. These symptoms usually appear two to ten days after consuming contaminated food. If someone experiences nausea, vomiting and a fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention. Most symptoms disappear within five to ten days.
