The P-E-I premier is hoping cooler heads prevail and trade continues to flow uninterrupted across the U-S-Canada border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dennis King has been leading a team of cabinet ministers and industry representatives through three northeastern states on a bus trip to highlight the importance of the province’s potato and seafood exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
King says Canadian products help create jobs and economic activity in the U-S, and he wants to highlight that through the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P-E-I exports about 1.8-billion-dollars worth of goods to the United States each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaders in Atlantic Canada are expected to meet with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today to discuss Donald Trump’s tariff threat on Canadian goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of the country’s 13 premiers, including Nova Scotia’s Tim Houston and Newfoundland and Labrador’s Andrew Furey, are set to attend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Retaliatory tariffs are expected to be on the agenda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s after the incoming U-S president threatened to impose a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods as soon as he returns to the White House later this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A blueberry farmer in New Brunswick says there’s no way their business can survive if the price of the fruit decreases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Murray Tweedie operates a farm north of Moncton and says there’s concern over Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 25 per cent tariff on all products arriving in the U-S from Canada later this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tweedie says a huge amount of blueberries produced in the Maritimes and Quebec are sold south of the border and farmers have to be price-competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He expects there will be pressure to minimize the impact on store prices by paying farmers less. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A P-E-I resident\u2019s home security camera captured video and audio of a meteorite crash landing outside his front door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joe Velaidum told C-B-C News he found unusual debris all over his walkway last July, and he sent a sample of it to Chris Herd, the University of Alberta’s meteorite collection curator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Herd has now confirmed the debris came from a meteorite — and the footage from Velaidum\u2019s home camera that day may be the first to show a meteorite strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sample has since been named the Charlottetown Meteorite, since Velaidum lives in Marshfield, just east of P-E-I\u2019s capital city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newfoundland and Labrador has launched a provincial locum recruitment program aimed at increasing access to health care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program provides opportunities for physicians to work as locums throughout the province, including in communities that have had recruitment challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The government says incentives include a 10-thousand-dollar bonus for physicians who provide more than 25 days of locum services per fiscal year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program has been in effect since the beginning of this month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say three pieces of art believed to have been painted by Nova Scotia folk artist Maud Lewis have been stolen from a Halifax home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Investigators say three framed Christmas cards by Lewis were taken from a residence on Cambridge Street last November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each piece is approximately seven inches by five inches in size, and the cards are matted and framed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each of the pieces is believed to be worth about 10-thousand-dollars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
