Zelenskyy leaves G7 early, citing Russia attack — without meeting Trump, or joint statement from leaders
The drinks will also be available to the public, with different ones rolled out over the summer, once the summit wraps and business returns to normal.
The Canadian cocktail will be featured first. The Cabane à Sucre, also known as the Carney, is meant to be a maple-forward old fashioned, with smoked ice and Canadian bitters.
According to a menu obtained by CBC News, the Carney includes maple taffy, Canadian aromatic bitters and smoked ice. It can be made with 45-year-old whiskey from the Canadian Club Chronicles for $65, or a 15-year sherry cask from the Canadian Club Invitation series for $25.
La Fille En Rose will be released next; that's the French-inspired floral martini. According to the menu, it will also sell for $25 and features rose-infused Grey Goose vodka, St. Germain elderflower liqueur, yellow chartreuse, and pomegranate cocktail air.
There is no cocktail specifically inspired by U.S. President Donald Trump, with organizers aware he abstains from alcohol. There had been plans to roll out a non-alcoholic aloha colada in a pineapple cup during the summit itself, but that did not come to fruition.
The American-inspired cocktail is called the Graceland. According to the menu, it consists of bacon-washed, 12-year Crown Royal Reserve whisky, Revel Stoke peanut butter whisky, Giffard Banane du Bresil liqueur, toasted breadcrumbs and fresh smoke.

'It's very fun': DiverseCity Festival hosts 4th event in Summerside
Social Sharing Quincy Cumayas has been in Canada for a year, but she found herself centre stage at Sunday's DiverseCity festival event in Summerside, P.E.I., singing for the attendees. It was the 10-year-old's first time attending one of these events, but she has sung at other events in the past where she sang things like O Canada and the Filipino national anthem. The event brought a wide range of different cultures together at the Lefurgey Cultural Centre. "It's very fun actually. I can, like, meet other people, like, other cultures," said Cumayas, who started singing when she was just three years old. She said she liked the event and would come back to another. The event, put on by the Immigration and Refugee Services Association, is set up to help connect Islanders with newcomers, allowing both to learn more about their respective cultures. Longtime attendee Said Akbar Sadat has been coming to DiverseCity events since 2018. He's originally from Afghanistan, but came to the Island in 2007. He was at the festival serving up traditional Afghani food. "They love it, they said it's a unique food, Afghani food," said Sadat. He started preparing food at 4 a.m. and then drove to the event five hours later. Sadat said he enjoyed trying different foods, such as Filipino, Indian and Mexican options. Event co-ordinator Hai Nguyen, who is originally from Vietnam, said he enjoys seeing people from other backgrounds come together. "I feel so happy when I see them, you know, with different kind of languages," he said. Even if Nguyen can't understand the languages in the musical performances, he still enjoys it. "We have dancing, we have singing, and we have instruments ... but actually I really enjoy the melody," said Nguyen.

Saskatoon hosts Midwest Legislative Conference
The annual Midwest Legislative Conference has officially kicked off, with Saskatoon serving as host this year. 'The whole goal is to listen to each other, have conversations, and develop relationships. We have so much in common with each other that learning from each other is the goal here,' Lori Carr, chair of the Midwest Legislative Conference, said. Representatives from 11 states and four provinces will spend the next three days sharing experiences and ideas with one another. One of the scheduled discussion panels will focus on Canadian-U.S. trade relationships. Carr says this will be a particularly important topic throughout the week, as tariffs continue to complicate trade between the two countries. 'Continuing to get to know the people that are down in those U.S. states, them getting to know us, finding our common huge trading partners with the U.S. And for Saskatchewan, these 11 states are our biggest trading partners for us,' Carr said. This year's chairman's initiative is called 'North American Energy Security: Powering the Future,' and will focus on the future of energy and the accompanying resources that will help secure that energy. 'It's all about having that all-of-the-above approach for energy security and learning what's happening throughout the world... and ensuring that we have that reliable, affordable baseload power that we can use to power our province and continue moving forward,' Carr said. After the event wraps up on Wednesday afternoon, Carr is hopeful that those in attendance will have built the necessary relationships to provide new opportunities for the people they represent. 'I want them to leave here and know that they've made the contacts that they need to make so that down the road, if they have questions, if they think, 'oh gee, this could be a great opportunity,' they know who they should be calling in whichever state that is applicable to,' Carr said.
