Good morning. It's currently 12 degrees in New Market in Aurora. The dollar is trading for 71.04 cents U.S., gas sitting at $1.80.9 a liter at most GTA stations. I'm Rob Kerwain and it's Thursday, July the 23rd. Six people are facing numerous firearm and drug charges following what police are calling a lengthy investigation into cocaine trafficking in York Region and the GTA. Dubbed Project Blade, the probe also resulted in the seizure of 28 ounces of cocaine with an estimated St. value of more than $24,000, as well as four firearms, a replica firearm, a vehicle, a motorcycle, and 66 grand in cash. These seizures come after the execution of search warrants on July 16th at homes in Aurora, Vaughan, and Toronto. A credit ratings agency says wildfires in Northern Ontario do not appear to be translating into severe losses for Canada's insurance industry, but the situation still needs to be monitored closely.

BC Premier David Eby expressed frustration at U.S. levies that impact some Canadian industries and leave others untouched. He says America needs to decide what it wants. And Canadian Blood Services says it is facing a shortage of blood donations. The agency says the blood supply has decreased by nearly 20% since June 1st. It is urging people across Ontario and the rest of the country to book a blood donation appointment.
