Sydney Mines stuck tanker

That small tanker is still stuck off Sydney Mines.

A salvage team couldn’t pull it off the sandy bottom at high tide last night because they couldn’t remove enough ballast water to increase the Arca 1’s bouyancy.  The Coast Guard says it continues to monitor the situation, and there has been no sign of pollution.  The tanker is carrying 15 tons of fuel for its engines.

Trudeau shuffles the deck

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has shaken up his cabinet in preparation for the Donald Trump administration in Washington.

The main change was moving Toronto M-P Chrystia Freeland from international trade to global affairs, replacing Stephane Dion.

Freeland will be responsible for dealing with Trump as he brings his America-first approach to Washington.

She is also expected to take a hardline when it comes to Canada’s relations with Russia.

Also appointed was Toronto MP Ahmed Hussen to Immigration.

He was born in Somalia.
