China hits back at canola, emergency rooms full in Quebec, wasp season, and more

Plus: It is that time of the year when wasps seem to be everywhere. Is this year worse than previous ones? If you think so, you are not alone.

And: Russian strikes in Ukraine, migrants drown in English Channel and minimum wage for some gig workers in B.C..
