This is CTV News.
2
Good evening.
3
I'm Sanjay Maru.
4
Thanks for joining us.
5
We begin with U.S.
6
President Donald Trump signing an executive order in the White House renaming Lake Ontario Lake America, at least for agencies in the U.S.
7
Trump had threatened the move earlier this week as trade talks between Canada and the U.S broke down.
8
CTV's Abigail Beeman now with the latest escalation in this ongoing trade war.
9
We're going to call it Lake America, and all it takes is a good pen and some intelligence.
10
First, a social media marker and paper map.
11
We're going to be changing the name of Lake Ontario, effective immediately to Lake America.
12
Then, an executive order.
13
We filed all the necessary papers, documents, everything else we've notified all of the various people that we have to notify.
14
The president took the opportunity to bash Canada.
15
The Canadian officials have treated us very badly.
16
They're nasty people.
17
Over and over.
18
Canada's been ripping us off for a long time on trade, very sadly.
19
Even the military, you know, we defend Canada for nothing.
20
We don't get anything.
21
They don't pay us to defend Canada, but we defend Canada.
22
And over again.
23
Who's the worst to deal with on trade?
24
And I said, that's easy.
25
Canada.
26
They are the worst and they feel entitled.
27
And reminded everyone of his promise to double tariffs January 1st. We're going to be doing tariffs on their cars
28
that are coming in at a substantial level because we want to make the cars here.
29
He thought he had a real hit, a real golden ollie with the Gulf of Mexico.
30
And he's trying to bring back that.
31
He's trying to play the hits for his base.
32
But I think everybody here thinks it's a little sad and it's not his best work.
33
Do you think a fish in the Great Lakes or in the Detroit-Saint-Clair River knows whether they're in Canada or America?
34
While a Democrat in border state Michigan says she's working on a resolution in Congress
35
and a letter for the president opposing the trade war.
36
This is just a very senseless war we don't need.
37
Our hospitals in Detroit would have to shut down if we didn't let Canadian nurses come over the bridge every day.
38
Late this afternoon, the Prime Minister responded in a post saying Canadians know that things must be called by their name,
39
and this lake is called Lake Ontario today and forever.
40
Abigail Beeman, CTV News, Washington.
41
Back at home, Windsor police have launched an investigation for property damage to a local indoor playground.
42
Police had the Dougal Avenue business taped off today for this investigation.
43
They will only tell CTV News the investigation is for property damage and that it's in its early stages.
44
The damage was noticed this morning by staff and they believe it occurred overnight.
45
Anyone with information is requested to call Windsor Police or make an anonymous tip to Crimestoppers.
46
To a separate incident now, police releasing this surveillance video.
47
They want to speak with two suspects after wiring was stolen from five electrical boxes connected to streetlights.
48
It happened in the area of Ottawa Street and Kildare Road last Thursday.
49
Police say the crime caused $6,000 in damage.
50
To get a closer look at the suspects, head to our website, ctvnewswindsor.ca.
51
The Windsor-Essex Children's Aid Society is investigating a cyber attack,
52
and so far investigators have not determined whether any information was accessed or removed.
53
In a statement, the agency says it discovered the cyber incident on August 6th
54
and immediately took steps to contain it and protect its systems.
55
Cyber security experts have been brought in to review the potentially affected systems and data.
56
The agency says it will notify affected individuals if personal information is found to have been compromised.
57
Law enforcement, the province and Ontario's privacy commissioner have all been notified.
58
Provincial police say two people suffered minor injuries yesterday
59
when a pickup truck hauling a camper trailer rolled off the 401 near Chatham, Kent.
60
Submitted video shows the driver losing control around 1230 Wednesday, rolling the truck and trailer right off the highway.
61
It happened in the eastbound lanes just east of Kent Bridge Road.
62
According to police, both the driver and passenger were taken to hospital from the scene and are expected to make full recoveries.
63
Back on Trade Now, we're seeing a new surge in the so-called Buy Canadian movement thanks to President Trump's trade attacks reshaping retail shelves
64
and trade tactics.
65
Saskatchewan with the latest example.
66
The province, along with Alberta, is still selling American alcohol but now hitting U.S booze with a new tax.
67
CTV's Alison Bamford with more on this patriotic push.
68
That's everything for you?
69
Whether it's a bottle of Saskatchewan vodka or a pack of craft beer.
70
Trade tensions have pushed local products up in popularity.
71
We've definitely seen more people asking questions about where their products come from
72
and showing a more piqued interest in Saskatchewan-made products and Canadian products overall.
73
A trend at this Saskatoon liquor store that's likely to continue.
74
Yesterday, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe announced a 50% reciprocal tax on American alcohol beginning September 8th.
75
8th.
76
Retaliation for the U.S tariff placed on Canadian liquor earlier this month.
77
Well, I think consumers are ultimately voting with their wallet at this point.
78
It's the latest tactic driving consumers to buy Canadian and some businesses are following suit.
79
One of the country's largest ice cream brands,
80
Chapman's, pledged to source more than 70 percent of its American ingredients from elsewhere by mid-2027.
81
Producers are getting on board with adjusting their practices
82
and making it easier for consumers to make decisions and showcasing that they are operating in a Canadian way.
83
And Canadians are hoping to help out one another with the patriotic push.
84
There's a lot of great Canadian companies that Canadians don't even know about
85
and if they did know about them they'd be excited to be shopping for them rather than other alternatives.
86
Two months ago, Brydon Parker founded the website madeincanada.dev.
87
From clothing to food and tech, users can search through the site to find Canadian options.
88
So in the last couple days, there's been a surge in traffic.
89
Buy Canadian sentiments existed long before the trade tensions.
90
During the pandemic, there was a push to support local
91
and some experts believe these consumer shopping habits will stick around long after the trade war.
92
Allison Bamford, CTV News, Saskatoon.
93
Open Streets, Windsor is marking a milestone this year with a new format taking the annual event to the city's east end.
94
Construction has forced organizers to get creative creating two separate routes operating at the same time.
95
CTV's Chris Campbell explains.
96
The one day of the year we close the streets to open the streets.
97
Is that what I'm understanding?
98
For the 10th year, Open Streets Windsor will give residents and visitors a different way to experience the city.
99
But this year's event is getting a new look.
100
Construction along the traditional route means organizers have created two separate routes with seven community hubs spread throughout Windsor's East End.
101
We've been rotating the events the last few years, so of course now we're on the east side.
102
And what makes it kind of unique is that we ran into some construction.
103
The team got very creative, and now we've got two routes that are going to be operating simultaneously.
104
On September 20th, roads will be transformed into car-free spaces for walking, cycling, and exploring.
105
Along the way, organizers promise activities for families, performers, cultural programming, and plenty of food and drink.
106
Participants can also collect new stamp-style stickers at each of the seven hubs.
107
But organizers say the event is about more than just a day of entertainment.
108
The Open Streets presents a different way of looking at your neighborhood.
109
You know, being kind of the motor city of Canada, we are often in our cars
110
and we don't take the time to really see our neighborhoods the way you see it
111
when you're on foot or if you're riding your bicycle.
112
And while this year's event is focused on the east end, organizers are already looking ahead.
113
Open Streets is expected to return to the west side next year, creating a potential opportunity to connect with the new multi-use path on the Gordie Howe International Bridge.
114
The more the better.
115
The bigger that we can make this the better and
116
if we can have our friends over in the United States help us out
117
and create a hub for them that would be great too.
118
The interest in the multi-use path with the Gordiehow International Bridge has been tremendous.
119
We want to leverage that.
120
This year the novelty is it's new.
121
Next year wouldn't it be great
122
if we actually gave them another compelling reason to keep pedaling
123
and keep visiting or walking into Sandwich Town and then to our downtown and celebrate those businesses as well.
124
Open Streets Windsor takes place Sunday, September 20th, from 10 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon.
125
In Windsor, Chris Campbell, CTV News.
126
Later in the show, robots run, box, and breakdance at the humanoid games, but some of the machines are still learning how to stick the landing.
127
CTV meteorologist Gary Archibald joining me for a look at the forecast.
128
Gary, three of my favorite words, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
129
The weekend's almost here, sir.
130
Weekend is almost here.
131
It's been a beautiful week.
132
Good evening, Sanjay.
133
Good evening, folks.
134
In terms of temperatures, nothing really to complain about.
135
This week has been seasonally, seasonably warm.
136
And just a couple of degrees above that 26 degree mark over the last couple of days.
137
I mean, that's essentially what the average is between Windsor-Essex, Chatham-Kent and the surrounds.
138
We'll take it.
139
Humidity has relatively been low, and so 26 hasn't felt,
140
well, warmer than about 32, 33 at times.
141
It's been warm in the afternoons, but not inhospitable.
142
I'm liking the fact
143
that some dry air is moving in behind this system of low pressure well to the east are the showers
144
and even thunderstorms pushing towards Atlantic Canada.
145
Of course, the Maritimes is eastern Quebec.
146
But there's just a few trace showers that we've been seeing in some of the computer models.
147
Most of it sort of lying over water, in fact, Lake Huron into the Georgian Bay region.
148
I'm not anticipating much for extreme southwestern Ontario over the next 72 hours.
149
That's the three days that Sanjay's looking forward to.
150
And I, along with him, and I'm sure many of our folks watching will be too.
151
Overnight, a bit cool.
152
A couple of degrees below season.
153
We'd be closer to 15, 15.4 degrees Celsius for an early morning, pre-dawn low.
154
Cool, partly cloudy and breezy.
155
The winds out of the east-north-east.
156
Tomorrow starts off with mostly sunny conditions across the board for much of southwestern Ontario.
157
14 at 8 o'clock in the morning.
158
And then we'll go up to 22, warming up nicely, feeling like about 25 through the noon hour.
159
25, we'll reach that late in the afternoon, feels like about 29 or 30.
160
UV is high for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
161
And note the temperature trend over that three-day stretch.
162
25 to 28 to 30.
163
And then 31.
164
Monday, Tuesday, we're in the 30s, feeling like about 34 to 35.
165
A chance of showers, too, both days.
166
And then cooling off just a touch as we head towards Wednesday, Thursday of next week.
167
We can return to sunny and fair weather.
168
That is look at a not bad 7-day forecast.
169
Sanjay?
170
More than 200 job seekers packed the downtown mission tonight for a first-ever job fair that organizers say delivered results.
171
I'm very happy with how it went.
172
I'm very happy with all of the people that I got to connect with and see, like, the excitement on their faces, in their eyes.
173
You know, what we do at the Mission on a daily basis is we're providing, you know, the basics like food and shelter.
174
But it's really nice when we get to provide that or give that hope to people.
175
I, too, am excited about the results.
176
Seven employers took part with a line of prospective hires already out the door when the fair opened at 2.
177
Job seekers could drop off resumes and meet directly with people hiring for the city of Windsor the Canadian Mental Health Association, even the Canadian Armed Forces.
178
The mission opened the fair to the general public, along with graduates of its enterprise programs, which help people facing barriers to employment build skills and find work.
179
And for at least one employer, the search ended right here on the spot.
180
Ron Dunn, a former executive director of the mission, who now heads Victoria Manor, came looking for candidates and left with a new hire.
181
I wasn't, but I think if you find somebody who is exceptional, right?
182
So I did.
183
I found a person who has recently immigrated to the country
184
but has some qualifications that we can use over at Victoria Manor.
185
And so, yeah, she's going to come by on Monday, and we're going to sign some paperwork and get her started.
186
Meantime, retailers are bracing for a fresh wave of tariffs, but many are trying to stay positive and enjoying newfound customers from outside Canada.
187
CTV's Stephanie Mazzotti explains.
188
We've shipped to New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania.
189
We've shipped to California.
190
We've shipped to Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, all over the U.S.
191
And the most popular items at Whiskey Jack Boutique, the Made in Windsor Gordie Howe International Bridge Collection.
192
Yesterday, for example, we had a customer order from Indiana, and she ordered 11 postcards and two sticker sheets,
193
and she chose her desired shipping method and paid accordingly, And then the duties on that was $5.78 U.S.
194
Those duties will increase if Canada's 50% retaliatory tariffs kick in.
195
Well, the tariff won't go until September, so I'm going to do all my shopping now.
196
Alice from Arizona says she's traveled the world to places like Japan and Australia, crossing more than a dozen major bridges throughout her lifetime.
197
I have never seen a bridge that had been built.
198
So this bridge is special to me.
199
When asked about the retaliatory tariffs...
200
I came here for the beauty of the Gordie Howe Bridge, and we're not going to get off into nothing that's going to steal my joy today.
201
Retailers, too, are trying to stay positive.
202
How long will this last, right?
203
That's the key.
204
I mean, both sides are hoping that this kind of, we get a deal sooner rather than later, because it really will be devastating to both economies in terms of inflation and job loss.
205
Retail analyst Bruce Winders says some businesses will attempt to cushion the additional cost, but it's not realistic.
206
But when you're looking at, you know, 50%, you can't absorb all that.
207
Maybe some of the 15% you can, you know, you can play around, but not 50%.
208
They're going to have to raise some prices.
209
The owners of Whiskey Jack's Boutique are ready to pivot if they have to, but are currently enjoying an influx of American customers.
210
It's just nice to be able to connect with people
211
and to remind ourselves that behind all of this are just a bunch of humans that are scared and frustrated.
212
And, you know, we don't know.
213
We're all in the same boat.
214
So it's really nice to connect from a human perspective.
215
Stephanie Mazzotti, CTV News.
216
Canada's main stock index continued to advance today despite trade tensions.
217
In Toronto, the TSX gaining 21 points.
218
In New York, the Dow adding 106, the Nasdaq up 411.
219
The Canadian dollar claiming a modest gain of seven hundredths of a cent.
220
Gold is up almost $11 an ounce, and oil adds $1.30 a barrel.
221
A couple of big returns for our weekly segment, What's Up YQG, not just for the return of Tecumseh Cornfest, but for my friend and yours,
222
Hannah Witherby, alongside Johnny Parks from our sister station 89X and CTV's Melanie Kentner.
223
Yes, we are going to be talking all things corn fest, but Hannah, first, welcome back from your maternity leave.
224
Thank you so much.
225
It is so great to be back.
226
I missed you all so much.
227
And we miss you.
228
Oh my gosh, thank you.
229
And we are here with Melissa from the Tecumseh Corn and Music Festival here.
230
Why don't you tell us a little bit about what to expect this weekend?
231
Absolutely.
232
So the Optimist Club of St. Clair Beach invites you out to the 50th annual Corn Fest.
233
So we're here at McAuliffe Park.
234
We have the Midway.
235
We have a music festival and so much amazing food and craft vendors.
236
I'm excited that Hannah's back because it means all I have to focus on is eating corn.
237
How much corn are you guys preparing for this?
238
So we have roughly around 10 to 20,000 cobs of corn that we prepare.
239
It comes from Notera, all local, and the community comes out to make it happen.
240
That's amazing.
241
That should be enough to feed Johnny.
242
No, yeah, alone.
243
You can get your own corn.
244
Now tell us about the live entertainment you have planned.
245
Yeah, so it's Friday and Saturday.
246
It starts out with Mike Hargreaves at 7 p.m.
247
And then we're bringing in Elton Ron, a tribute to Elton John.
248
And lastly, it ends off with Expendable Youth.
249
Then on Saturday, we have Case the Joint.
250
And then we have Taya Finera.
251
And we finish off with DJ Rye.
252
Wow.
253
What about rides and activities for all the little ones?
254
We have so much.
255
And I can't believe the carnival fits it all in there.
256
But we have the Ferris wheel, all kinds of different rides and games.
257
You'll find something you like, I'm sure.
258
And honestly, all of those bands are so good.
259
I've seen a lot of them.
260
They're amazing.
261
How much is admission?
262
So it's different each night.
263
So to Elton Ron on the Friday, it's $20 in advance, $25 at the door.
264
And then on the Saturday, it's $10 in advance and $15 at the door.
265
And of course, getting into the park is free, right?
266
So bonus for everybody.
267
Thank you so much.
268
We'll put all the links online.
269
And I know it's going to be a great weekend.
270
So good luck to you guys.
271
Now, we do have a couple other things to talk about this weekend, including something at the casino, Hannah.
272
That's right.
273
Australian Pink Floyd is going to be tonight at Caesars Windsor.
274
And then neighborhood nights also going on at Fountain Blue Park on Friday.
275
Action-packed weekend.
276
Thanks, everybody.
277
And that's What's Up YQG.
278
It was graduation day for 16 students who learned how to be entrepreneurs.
279
Some of them are traditional businesses and some of them are more emerging tech savvy businesses.
280
But what amazes me the most is this the energy
281
and the desire to create something from scratch and bring it to market.
282
The summer company program provided by the Small Business
283
and Entrepreneurship Center saw one student open up a gaming company while another started a window washing business.
284
During the 12-week program, students learned all about entrepreneurship, how to connect with people, and make cold calls.
285
Each student received up to $3,000, with many looking forward to continuing down the path of growth.
286
Now with AI accelerating, the barrier of entry is dramatically lower.
287
A lot of people can just start creating apps, so I'm definitely going to capitalize on this moment.
288
Hopefully scale, keep it going.
289
It's almost harvest time in the region, but Mother Nature has doled out mixed results this year.
290
Apple growers say expect a good crop, just not a great one.
291
A local winery, rather, says this year's weather treated different grapes differently, some good, some bad.
292
CTV's Bob Belichico takes us to the orchards and vineyards.
293
Because we're all pick-your-own, I'm always so excited to see all the families that come back every year.
294
This will be a fun apple to pick at Wagner's Orchards and Estate Winery, where some varieties did well, while others not so well.
295
If we look back at what May was, it rained and it was really cold.
296
We had bees here, like 10 hives here.
297
And bees, they don't leave out of the hive if it's cold.
298
Owner Harold Wagner says that delayed the start of the season.
299
The trees flowered good, but then if it rained and cold and rained, they didn't out-pollinate them.
300
That's what we need, so that slowed them down.
301
A lack of rain the last few weeks has been challenging as well.
302
We only had about an inch and a half in a month.
303
It's kind of the time of year when you need some.
304
It causes them to really size up.
305
It's not our biggest crop, but we'll take it, right?
306
There's been years where there's been nothing.
307
So you have to be a little bit more selective when you pick.
308
You have to walk a little bit more.
309
It's all part of the fun, right?
310
At Sprucewood Shore as a state winery, weather had a different effect on crops.
311
A tough winter will affect output on some of the varieties.
312
Some varietals were going to have lower tonnage.
313
Some varietals we won't have any crop at all.
314
And other varietals didn't even notice.
315
Sprucewood owner Steve Mitchell says Petit Pearl, Marquette and Baco Noir don't feel the winter as much as Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc grapes do.
316
Sprucewood has an irrigation system to guard against the lack of rain as well.
317
I do feel that in general this year for grapes, I was happy with the amount of rain we got.
318
As vice chair of the Ontario Craft Winery Association, Mitchell feels the quality of this year's harvest will keep tourism flowing in the area.
319
I think in general the tourism in the area has been solid.
320
We've seen increasing growth year over year and this past year has been no exception.
321
Bob Belichico, CTV News.
322
If you step outside, you might be able to check out a deep partial lunar eclipse in the night sky.
323
A bright full moon is going to scatter a lot of light in our atmosphere, almost to the point of being able to see the colors of your clothes at night.
324
So as the moon darkens, you'll be able to see more and more of the stars up in the sky.
325
According to the president of the Windsor Center of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, viewing began around 1030 and will reach its peak around midnight.
326
Some onlookers may witness the moon turn copper red with a sliver of white light at the top of the moon.
327
For those that are interested in astronomy, the Astronomical Society will have a booth set up at the Tecumseh Cornfest Friday
328
and Saturday from 4 p.m until 10 at night.
329
we'll have telescopes set up to give members of the public
330
free views of both the storms on the surface of the sun
331
when the sun is up
332
and then later on we'll be able to look at various kinds of objects galaxies star clusters things like
333
that in the night sky should be really interesting
334
gary archibald back with a final look at weather gary how about it a lunar eclipse
335
but will we even be able to see it?
336
Partly cloudy conditions and you know it's interesting it's all about timing
337
and location of course right the solar eclipse we remember
338
that we've got a great view of it here in extreme southwest Ontario my friends in Toronto didn't
339
and there were thousands hundreds of thousands of people trying to
340
take it in it really is up to cloud conditions our producer
341
Lisa was mentioning
342
that she's right on top of it no doubt speaking of
343
cloudiness we'll just see fair weather clouds on Friday a high
344
of 25 feels like about 30 sunny high UV Saturday into a fair weather Sunday temperatures up to 30
345
and then holding on to that mark through Monday Tuesday
346
and then sliding down the scale just a touch
347
but fair a week from now that's a look at your
348
seven-day forecast wherever you are of course have a good night's rest and enjoy your weather sun jet
349
and finally tonight china's world humanoid robot games were held this
350
week in beijing the event now in its second year is
351
styled as an olympic competition as ctv's john vennevalli rao shows us this year involved some impressive record-breaking feats
352
and some flaming disasters On the final day of competition in Beijing,
353
a Chinese-built humanoid set yet another record in the 100-meter race.
354
The robots then slamming into a padded wall because they haven't quite mastered the art of stopping gracefully.
355

この動画でスピーキング練習をする理由
国際ニュースの場面は、英語スピーキング練習に最適なコンテキストです。政治・貿易に関する議論、警察の捜査情報など、多様なテーマが含まれ、リアルな会話のリズムやフォーマルな表現、口語的な発言が混在しています。shadowing（シャドーイング）の技法を使ってこの動画を練習すると、即応力や発音の自然さが向上し、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立ちます。特に、トランプ前大統領のような強い主張のし方や、カナダ首相の簡潔な反応など、異なるスピーチスタイルを学ぶことができます。
文脈の中の文法と表現
- 「We're going to be doing tariffs...」：未来進行形を使って計画を強調する表現。「～を実施する予定です」というよりも、積極的な取り組みを印象づけます。
- 「Canadians know that things must be called by their name」：「物事は本来の名前で呼ばれなければならない」という慣用句。抽象的な考えを簡潔に伝えるのに役立つ構文です。
- 「Police had the Dougal Avenue business taped off」：have + 目的語 + 過去分詞の構造。「～を（他人に）行わせる」という使い方で、事件現場の状況を説明するのによく使われます。
発音の注意点
この動画には、発音が難しい単語やアクセントの変化がいくつかあります。「tariffs」（関税）は「タリフス」ではなく「タリフ」と発音し、「surveillance」（監視）は「サーベイランス」ではなく「サーヴェイランス」が正しいです。また、トランプ前大統領の発言では「nasty people」の「nasty」が「ナスティ」ではなく「ナスティー」と伸ばして発音される場合があり、口語的な発音の特徴が現れています。shadowspeakのようなシャドーイングサイトで繰り返し練習することで、これらのトラップを克服できます。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
