Summary
Iran has reimposed restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz, declaring that transit will remain blocked until the U.S. lifts its blockade of Iranian vessels and ports. This decision follows U.S. President Donald Trump's confirmation that the blockade will persist until Iran agrees to a deal.
In a separate incident, a public inquiry into a mass shooting in Nova Scotia, which resulted in 22 fatalities six years ago, has led to over 100 recommendations aimed at improving policing and addressing intimate partner violence.
Tragically, a house fire in Alberta has claimed the lives of a baby and a toddler, while two other children and a woman managed to escape. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
A salmonella outbreak linked to a restaurant in Hamilton has resulted in 13 confirmed cases, with an additional 44 individuals reporting symptoms consistent with the illness.
