Good morning. I'm Lucy with The Northern Current, for Saturday, October twenty-fourth.

The White House has announced changes to its fifty-per-cent tariff list for Canadian goods, effective October thirtieth. Friday's proclamation removes some products from that additional duty and adds others. The changes are not a blanket removal of tariffs.

In Hamilton, Ridge Road between Third Road East and Tapleytown Road is scheduled to close Monday for culvert installation and slope stabilization. The city's target reopening date is December eighteenth, weather permitting.

Elsewhere in Ontario, Windsor and Tecumseh have been promised up to eighty-four-point-four million dollars for infrastructure in exchange for reducing development charges. Friday's announcement remains subject to funding agreements and approvals.

Overseas, Typhoon Champi has left one person dead and hundreds injured in Taiwan. Crews are restoring electricity after strong winds brought down trees and power lines. Champi has weakened to a tropical storm, and Taiwan has lifted its land warning.

In basketball, Toronto beat Washington one hundred and twelve to one hundred and two Friday night. The Raptors are now two and oh.

And Hamilton votes Monday. Polls open from ten a.m. to eight p.m. You can vote at any location in your ward. Bring identification showing your name and home address.

I'm Lucy. More coverage at The Northern Current.
