It's Friday, March 6th. Good morning. Welcome to the weekend. It's minus 1 in new market Aurora. The dollar 73.18 cents U.S. gas up another two cents, $1.47 a litre on Stacey Engelhart. Price of gas being blamed on the feud between U.S. and Israel with Iran. Israel, meanwhile, is also targeting Lebanon. Canada's top soldier, meanwhile, said meetings are set this morning to talk about helping Persian Gulf states defend themselves against Iranian bombings. She did not say what form of help they may take, but reiterated Canada's not taking part in the U.S. operation. Ontario's education minister has placed an 8th school board under supervision due to what he calls significant governance issues. Now, a supervisor was appointed to the York Catholic District School Board after they were sent a notice in late January. From what the letter said, they did not appropriately respond to pressing concerns they were told about. Police in York Region have arrested an 18-year-old after shots were fired at a Newmarket home on two separate occasions. Police say the suspect from Mississauga was arrested this week, charged with multiple offenses, including attempted murder. Police in Durham have arrested eight people and are looking for five others after a business was defrauded out of millions. Police say losses to ServiceMaster over a six-year span are believed to exceed $3 million. And we return to daylight saving time tomorrow. So before you go to bed or when you wake up Sunday morning, make sure you set your clocks ahead one hour. Now it is going to mess with your body clock and keep in mind there's always an increase in collisions the Monday following the time change. Hot Country Sports NHL last night. The Leafs, having a rough go, still have not won since the Olympics. Their 6th loss in a row, 6-2 to the Rangers. Elsewhere, Ottawa beat Calgary 4-1. Winnipeg beat Tampa Bay by the same score.
