Iran Deal Signed: Will Canadian Gas Prices Finally Drop This Summer?

  Big news broke this week that could mean relief at the gas pump — eventually. The United States and Iran signed a landmark agreement on June 17, 2026, to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the critical waterway through which roughly 20% of the world's oil supply flows.

Winter Set to Redeem Itself After Record-Breaking Warmth

 

After experiencing the warmest winter on record last year, Canada is bracing for a colder season this year, according to The Weather Network's chief meteorologist, Chris Scott. Scott predicts that this winter will attempt to "salvage its reputation" with generally colder temperatures and more impactful weather compared to last year.

"It's coming east in a hurry, and it will pack a real punch," Scott said, noting that there will be a "mad scramble for winter tires and salt" in Ontario and Quebec.

The Weather Network's seasonal forecast suggests that while January and February may be milder in Quebec and Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan will experience a more typical winter. The forecast also brings good news for drought-weary prairie farmers, who rely on snowmelt to boost soil moisture in the spring.
