China announced Saturday levies were $3.6 billion on some agricultural and seafood products. As Lovius Stafinovic reports, the moves expected to hurt Canadian farmers. Well, to say that people are anxious would be an understatement. If farmers didn't already have enough to worry about, the head of the Canola Council of Canada says his industry is taking another major hit. China is placing a 100% levy on Canola, a move that Chris Davison says will be hard to absorb while

producers are also grappling with US tariffs. Those two markets together represent over 75% of Canadian global canola trade. The move comes after Canada placed a 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, a decision the federal government took last fall following similar action by the European Union and the Biden administration in the U.S. Along with canola, China is placing a 25% levy on Canadian pork and some seafood imports, along with another 100% tariff on pulses.

Toronto police are still searching for three suspects in a mass shooting at a pub late last night. Police say the suspects still entered the bar and started shooting indiscriminately. 12 people are injured, six with bullet wounds, but none have life-threatening injuries. Superintendent Paul McIntyre. Our investigation will tell us whether or not this pub was targeted for a particular reason. Maybe somebody was inside that somebody didn't like. Maybe somebody had a beef with the business. We don't know. McIntyre says two of the men were carrying handguns while the third was

armed with an assault rifle. All three still at large. Yesterday was the pub's opening night. Four European nations are joining forces with Arab countries selling the merits of a reconstruction plan for Gaza. The proposal has already the pub's opening night. Four European nations are joining forces with Arab countries, selling the merits of a reconstruction plan for Gaza. The proposal has already been rejected by Israel and the U.S. Still, efforts to bring more supporters on-site are underway, even as conditions for those living in Gaza deteriorate. Christa Goman Singh reports from Jerusalem. In a joint statement, Italy, France, Germany and the UK say the Arab Reconstruction Initiative provides a realistic plan to rebuild Gaza. Dozens of

Arab nations are contributing to the 53 billion dollar initiative. So far European countries are only endorsing it. All while those in Gaza watch food prices skyrocket and aid supplies evaporate. Sam Rose is the UN Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator in the Palestinian territory. Palestinian families should be celebrating the holy month of Ramadan, yet again facing uncertainty. Israel stopped aid shipments into Gaza last week. It wants Hamas to accept an extension of the current ceasefire instead of moving on to the second phase of the deal it previously agreed to.

With no guarantee of continued peace, reconstruction appears far off. Crystal Gamansing, CBC News, Jerusalem. Australian authorities say one person is dead as a tropical storm continues to lash the country's eastern coast. New South Wales state premier Chris Minns is warning residents. This emergency is not over. The rain is continuing and expected to keep falling in the days ahead. Officials say Cyclone Alfred made landing near Brisbane on Saturday. Dozens of communities are under evacuation orders. Authorities expect flooding to continue over the next few days. Women around the world are calling for equal pay, reproductive rights and an end to gender-based

violence during demonstrations marking International Women's Day. The theme? Accelerate action. Women's rights are under attack. What do we do? Stand up like this! In New York City, hundreds protested what they describe as growing threats to women's rights and civil liberties under the Trump administration.
