Jets captain Lowry likely to miss start of next season after undergoing hip surgery
The Jets updated Lowry's status in a statement Wednesday, a day after Lowry underwent the procedure.
The statement, which did not specify when Lowry sustained a hip injury, said the surgery was a success. The team expects him to make a full recovery after five to six months of rehabilitation.
Lowry had four goals in 13 post-season games for the Jets, including the double-overtime goal that gave Winnipeg a 4-3 win over the St. Louis Blues in Game 7 of the first round.
The Jets, who won the Presidents' Trophy as the team with the best regular-season record, were eliminated in six games by Dallas in the second round.
The 32-year-old Lowry, who has played his entire career with the Jets, is set to enter the final season of a five-year, US$16.25-million contract.

Trump's tariff threats against Canada face legal hurdles ahead of August deadline
Article content Donald Trump's plan to realign global trade faces its latest legal barrier this week in a federal appeals court — and Canada is bracing for the U.S. president to follow through on his threat to impose higher tariffs. Article content While Trump set an Aug. 1 deadline for countries to make trade deals with the United States, the president's ultimatum has so far resulted in only a handful of frameworks for trade agreements. Article content Article content Article content Deals have been announced for Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines and the United Kingdom — but Trump indicated last week that an agreement with Canada is far from complete. Article content Trump sent a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney threatening to impose 35 per cent tariffs if Canada doesn't make a trade deal by the deadline. The White House has said those duties would not apply to goods compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade. Article content 'We'll use all the time that's necessary,' Carney said last week. Article content Article content Countries around the world will also be watching as Trump's use of a national security statute to hit nations with tariffs faces scrutiny in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Article content Article content The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled in May that Trump does not have the authority to wield tariffs on nearly every country through the use of the International Economic Emergency Powers Act of 1977. Article content Article content The act, usually referred to by the acronym IEEPA, gives the U.S. president authority to control economic transactions after declaring an emergency. No previous president had ever used it for tariffs and the U.S. Constitution gives power over taxes and tariffs to Congress. Article content The Trump administration quickly appealed the lower court's ruling on the so-called 'Liberation Day' and fentanyl-related tariffs and arguments are set to be heard in the appeal court on Thursday. Article content The hearing combines two different cases that were pushing against Trump's tariffs. One involves five American small businesses arguing specifically against Trump's worldwide tariffs, and the other came from 12 states pushing back on both the 'Liberation Day' duties and the fentanyl-related tariffs

Massive Montreal art hub's future uncertain
Montreal artists and gallerists are concerned as the Belgo building, a major hub for art, is for sale. Andrés Duran has long had an eye for art. 'Since I was in university I was coming to visit galleries and exhibitions,' he says. After studying art history and working in a Westmount gallery, Duran decided to open one of his own. He opened Duran Contemporain and has been renting a space in Montreal's Belgo building since November of last year. 'That was one of the few spaces that was available and manageable for my very small operation,' the gallery owner and director says.

Its L-shaped layout allows him to run multiple exhibits, he says, as he helps emerging Montreal artists launch their careers. While reflecting on the growth of Montreal artist Tuan Vu, at first, 'we weren't able to sell one painting,' the gallerist says. 'Then we did the art fair in Montreal. We sold the paintings we had there, went back to the gallery and sold everything, like within one week,' he added. There could be fewer stories like this one, as the Belgo building is up for sale. With more than 25 galleries, dance studios and offices, the building at 372 Sainte-Catherine St. West, built in 1913, is one of the largest arts hubs in Canada. However, tenants fear a change in ownership could push them out with an increase in rent. Duran says his current rent is seven times less than what he used to pay for his gallery's previous location on Sherbrooke Street. 'It can mean life or death for a gallery,' he says. Despite concerns, Avison Young, the real estate company handling the sale, wants tenants to be reassured. They say current leases will be honoured. 'The cultural aspect cannot be negated. We are in the entrance to the Quartier des Spectacles and so it plays into why this building is occupied. [...] We wholeheartedly believe that the right type of buyer understands that,' executive vice-president Mark Sinnett told CTV.

Heat warning in effect in Hamilton, surrounding areas could feel like 39
A heat warning has been issued for Hamilton, Niagara, Burlington and surrounding areas from Sunday until Tuesday, according to Environment Canada. Monday is set to be the hottest in Hamilton with a high of 31 C, but it may feel more like 39 with the humidity factored in. "There is some uncertainty in the duration of the heat event for some regions ... Over some areas the heat event could persist into Wednesday," the weather agency said in its heat warning. Tuesday is expected to see a high of 31 C and a low of 20 C. Environment Canada recommends people check on those who are vulnerable, stay hydrated and watch out for symptoms of heat exhaustion. "Signs may include headache, nausea, dizziness, thirst, dark urine and intense fatigue," said the weather agency. It also suggests people close their blinds and open windows if it feels cooler outside than inside. Using a fan or air conditioner, limiting direct exposure to the sun, and wearing lightweight, light-coloured clothing also advised. The medical officer of health for the City of Hamilton initiated a heat warning starting Sunday. The city and some community agencies will open cooling areas for people to go to during the heat and humidity.
