U-S President Donald Trump on Tuesday delayed new tariffs for three days as the two countries work to finalize a deal.
Trump on social media pointed to the Keystone X-L pipeline, suggesting the project could be revived as part of the discussions.

During its Monday meeting, New Glasgow Town Council passed a motion calling on the Province to close the local homeless shelter and work with the Town and community partners on a transition plan.
A statement from Town Council says the plan would ensure individuals currently accessing the shelter continue to receive appropriate housing, mental health, addiction, and other supports. The statement says Council firmly believes the current emergency shelter model, operating as is and where is, is not adequately addressing the complex needs of people experiencing chronic homelessness and addiction.
