Carney calls for diplomatic solution and for talks to resume after U.S. strikes Iran
Prime Minister Mark Carney called for diplomatic talks to resume immediately and a de-escalation of hostilities, after the U.S. struck three Iranian nuclear sites in a major military operation. U.S. military officials say they are not pursuing war with Iran after striking key nuclear sites While noting 'the grave threat' posed by Tehran's nuclear program, Mr. Carney warned that 'the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile.' 'Stability in the region is a priority,' he said in a post on X. 'Canada calls on parties to return immediately to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end the crisis.' At a press conference on Sunday, Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, the U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said its attack on Iranian nuclear facilities was the largest B2 stealth bomber strike in history, and met with no Iranian resistance. But Lt. Gen. Caine warned: 'Our forces remain on high alert, and are fully postured to respond to any Iranian retaliation or proxy attacks which would be an incredibly poor choice. We will defend ourselves. The safety of our service members and civilians remains our highest priority.' Mr. Carney referred in his post to an agreement made at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta., that 'the resolution of the Iranian crisis should lead to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.' But he said that Canada has consistently been clear that 'Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.' Foreign Minister Anita Anand added that Canada has been consistent that Iran 'must not possess nuclear weapons as they are a threat to international security.' 'Canada continues to support all efforts aimed at de-escalation, protecting civilian lives, and restoring stability through diplomacy,' she posted on X. 'We urge parties to return to the negotiating table and reach a resolution to this crisis.' She urged Canadians in the region to register with Global Affairs to receive available travel options to leave. Canada is booking seats on commercial flights from countries neighbouring Iran and Israel for Canadians wanting to fly home. She said, with the Prime Minister, she is 'regularly briefed on new developments, and are ensuring that all necessary resources are available in support of Canada's work to protect our citizens.'

Completion date for Walker Road-Tecumseh Road construction project delayed again
The completion date for a construction project around Tecumseh Road East and Walker Road in Windsor is being pushed back again. The Tecumseh Road East infrastructure renewal project was scheduled to be completed by July but is now scheduled for completion in August due to additional work that's been identified. An ENWIN spokesperson tells AM800 News that while performing road restoration work, it was identified that additional repairs are required in order to ensure the long-term durability of the roadway. This work is being completed now, while traffic controls are already in place, to help avoid future disruptions and is anticipated to reduce the need for further major maintenance or construction in the coming years. Traffic on the west side of Walker Road will be reduced to one lane in each direction, controlled by traffic signals in late June. No left turns will be permitted at the Tecumseh/Walker intersection during this time. Ward 4 Councillor Mark McKenzie calls this latest delay ridiculous, given it was supposed to be done in Fall 2024. 'We heard back in March; they said it would be eight to 12 weeks, which would put it at the end of May. The end of May has come and gone. We were told it would be maybe the beginning or mid-July; now we're hearing it's going to be August,' he said. The current work is the continuation of a project that started in May 2024, and it includes a new 1,200-meter-long concrete water main, along with road paving and surface restoration. Along with the intersection, the work has impacted several surrounding roads, including Memorial Drive, Turner Road, Factoria Road, Milloy Street and Chandler Road, all near the Met Campus of Windsor Regional Hospital. McKenzie says he's hearing from residents every day about this project. 'You have people who are speeding up and down these residential streets now trying to avoid the delays that you're seeing on Walker Road and Tecumseh Road because of this never-ending construction project,' he said. McKenzie says he doesn't understand why this project is taking so long. 'Something needs to be done here; there need to be timelines that are set in these contracts. If these contractors can't hit these timelines, these deadlines, then they should be penalized for it. You see that in other municipalities and in the states as well,' he said. - By Rusty Thomson/AM800 News
