Alberta Premier Daniel Smith wants teachers back. in the classroom this Wednesday, and she's invoking the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian Constitution to shield the legislation from court challenges.

We know and feel like this is the right bargaining decision. So I would just hope that people would look at their own personal circumstances and just give an honest assessment of whether they think it's fair. Most of the parents I talk to, they think it's fair. Many of the teachers who've contacted us, they think it's fair. And I think most of all, it's fair to the students who are the ones who are most of him. impacted. Nahed Nenshi is the NDP opposition leader in Alberta. They've taken the nuclear option on something that they could have avoided, and

Albertans will be forgiven for asking themselves, who's next? What rights does this Premier want to defend, and which ones is she willing to trample over, and for whom?

The Premier of Ontario says his anti-tarifad that aired South of the border achieved his goals.

Best ad that overran.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford showing no regret. After his province's ad airing on U.S. television networks caught the ire of Donald Trump. Not only did it lead to the U.S. President terminating trade negotiations with Ottawa, but it came with the promise to level an additional 10% tariff on Canada. You know something? Do you know why President Trump's so upset right now? Because it was effective. It was working. It woke up the whole country. Choosing his words carefully, Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters that Ottawa was close to making progress

on tariffs on steel, aluminum, and energy. We are ready, when appropriate, to pick that up. And I'll just re-emphasize that it is the responsibility of the government of Canada to have these negotiations. Asked by reporters if he was mad with Ford.

The storm grew to a Category 5 early Monday and is expected to make landfall Tuesday.

Nicole Mordalaro reports. Powerful winds and high waves are battering Jamaica as Hurricane Melissa makes its way across the Caribbean Ocean. Enrico Koch, a store owner in Flagaman, Jamaica, is preparing for the worst. We'll need help as soon as possible, especially water. The storm has already killed four people. in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Meteorologists are keeping a close eye on the hurricane after it experienced what scientists call a rapid intensification, which is in part fueled by warmer ocean temperatures. Shell Winkley is a meteorologist with Climate Central. We know that those water temperatures are made anywhere from 500 to 700 times more likely to be that warm at this time of the year in this part of Caribbean due to the excess heat that we as humans have put into the atmosphere. And due to climate change, this type of hurricane is happening more often.
