Zelenskyy hints new Canadian aid package for Ukraine is coming soon

Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Canada and Ukraine are working on a new package to help Kyiv fight off Russia.Zelenskyy made the comments on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Hiroshima, Japan, when asked by Global News if Canada had done enough in recent months to support the Ukrainian war effort.“I would like you to understand that we have powerful relations with Canada,” said Zelenskyy.“We are working on something … which maybe, publicly cannot be commented (on).”Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Zelenskyy had met earlier in the day and Canada did not announce any new weapons or aid for Ukraine after they spoke.That’s in contrast to allies like the United States, who announced a US$375 million package for Ukraine, which included new ammunition, artillery and armoured vehicles.On Thursday, Canada announced additional sanctions on Russian individuals and businesses.

barbecue season heats up across the country, a food safety expert is warning Canadians of bacterial hazards that may accompany the smoky aromas and sizzling grills.Whether it’s undercooked meat, improperly cleaned grills or cross-contamination, there are many ways one can get sick with food-borne illnesses, such as salmonella and E. coli, during a backyard feast.“The risk of contracting food-borne illness can spike during summer months because many people don’t handle food safely during the barbecue season, whether in the kitchen or on the grill,” said Lawrence Goodridge, professor at the Canadian Research Institute for Food Safety at the University of Guelph.As an example, he explained that people may find themselves juggling multiple errands before a barbecue and prioritize a trip to the grocery store first.
