FILE -Toronto Public Health's offices at Dundas and Victoria St. in Toronto on Monday, August 21, 2017. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Cole Burston Toronto Public Health (TPH) is looking for a person who came in contact with a bat that may have rabies earlier this week. TPH says it has learned about an injured bat exhibiting symptoms of rabies and that the animal was physically handled at the north entrance to 88-100 Harbour St. on Wednesday around 9:24 p.m. 'Rabies is a viral infection that affects the nervous system of mammals including humans. Rabies can lead to death if it is left untreated before symptoms appear,' TPH says. The virus is spread through the saliva of an infected animal. The person is believed to be standing at five-foot-eight with a beard and was seen wearing eyeglasses, a black T-shirt, black pants and white sneakers. TPH says the person was also holding a black water bottle. The local health unit is urging the person to immediately call 416-338-7600 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday or 311 after hours. TPH says the person should ask to speak to the healthy environments manager on call.

Durable goods manufacturing fell 2.2 per cent in April, while non-durable goods manufacturing dropped 1.6 per cent. Meanwhile, services-producing industries edged up 0.1 per cent for the month.

Photo by Cole Burston / Bloomberg A group of Canadian steel producers said the government's plan to restrict foreign steel imports isn't strong enough and warned that the industry is set to shed thousands more jobs because of U.S. tariffs.

Create Account Prime Minister Mark Carney's government introduced new tariff-rate quotas last week to limit imports of steel and said it may adjust tariffs on U.S. steel products on July 21, depending on the status of trade talks with the Trump administration. The U.S. has increased tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum to 50%. So far, Canada has decided not to match that, keeping its retaliatory levies at 25%. 'We have significantly dropped shipments and have experienced close to 1,000 job losses to date and are preparing for thousands more,' Catherine Cobden, chief executive officer of the Canadian Steel Producers Association, said in a statement Thursday. 'We are concerned that the immediate measures fail to address the crisis we are in.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The tariff-rate quotas apply to steel-exporting countries that Canada doesn't have a trade agreement with. They only kick in if those countries exceed the volumes of steel they shipped to Canada last year. That 'will do little to support our industry,' said the CSPA, which represents producers including Algoma Steel Group Inc. and ArcelorMittal SA. The United Steelworkers union also criticized the government's plan as 'too narrow,' saying it doesn't apply to two-thirds of imports to Canada, including from countries including South Korea and Vietnam, 'despite repeated dumping violations.' The government plans to unveil new tariff measures within weeks to address the risk of steel and aluminum dumping. Carney and his officials are worried that U.S. tariffs will cause global manufacturers to divert their shipments to Canada. Representatives for Industry Minister Melanie Joly and Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
