Some die hard fans were unable to afford or even get their hands on tickets, often waiting hours in online queues, only to be let down. The lawsuit hopes to break up the stronghold. Live nation has, claiming it's squeezing out smaller promoters and hurting artists like me. And don't hold your breath because you're still choking on your words. Was canadian singer avril lavigne replaced by a look alike? Well, fans have been theorizing since the early 20 tens that the performer died in the early 2000 and was replaced by a lookalike named melissa. The rumors were fueled by a blog post pointing out certain physical changes levine had had gone through since her rise to fame. The singer finally addressed the conspiracy on a podcast this month, saying, obviously I'm me, but joked the rumors about her could be worse. Steven spielberg has lined up his next feature film, to be released in theaters on may 15, 2026. The project currently has no title, but is described as a new original event film, and it was earlier reported by variety that spielberg is working on a ufo story. David koepp, who worked with the filmmaker on jurassic park and war of the worlds in indiana jones, will be writing the script, and kristie macosko krieger will produce it.

>> From "global-peterborough. This is "global news" morning. >> Good morning. And thank you for joining us. Theresa kaszuba is off today. I'm tricia mason. A large scale investigation that started last year in southwestern ontario led police to a property just outside of sterling. That's where they say they seized more than $3 million in stolen vehicles, including classic cars. I have more on this report. This rural property just outside of sterling is the subject to a large scale police investigation. Two residents have been charged with multiple counts of theft after police say they seized more than a dozen vehicles, including classic cars totaling more than $3 million. >> So these were classic cars as well as some newer cars. They had been, some had been stolen, some had been put together with pieces from multiple stolen vehicles to create a classic vehicle that was then sold, some have been sold, some are still on the property. >> The original complaint was made back in 2023 regarding a stolen vehicle to the lambton county opp. Since then, the opp fleet supplying weapons service bureau, central hastings opp crime unit and emergency response team along with the provincial auto theft and towing team and provincial asset forfeiture unit, got involved during the investigation, the provincial asset forfeiture unit was able to determine that 16 vehicles were considered proceeds of crime either purchased or derived through criminal activities. >> Therefore, they were able to seize them as proceeds of crime and offense related property. >> Sterling residents robert bradshaw and gary leblanc were charged with theft of motor vehicles, over $5,000 fraud, over $5,000 used forged documents, and conspiracy to commit an indictable offense. Leblanc was also charged with uttering threats put together. >> It's a very serious, complex investigation involving numerous crimes, according to the database of the ontario motor vehicle industry council, which inspects ontario's dealerships and auto salespeople, both men, in december of 2023 pleaded guilty to multiple charges under the motor vehicle dealers act as an unregistered dealer. >> Both men faced several fines as a result. Constable wade reminds residents to be mindful if they are buying a vehicle through a private deal. >> You could run into an issue where you're buying a refin vehicle or a stolen vehicle, or a fraudulently registered vehicle, so do your due diligence, take your time. If the deal is too good to be true, there's probably a reason for it . >> The accused have since been released and are set to appear in a belleville court at a later date. Now, the investigation is ongoing and according to opp, it could be widespread throughout the province and even the rest of the country. Only one person was sent to hospital after a vehicle collided with a house in the city's north end thursday afternoon. It happened at around four at the corner of chemong road and aberdeen avenue. Damage to the home was minimal, but the airbags were deployed in the vehicle. The cause of the crash is under investigation. Aon local school boards and first nations are working together to fill the labor shortage. An exclusive job fair in hiawatha first nation yesterday opened the doors to a career in the skilled trades. Robert lothian explains. >> Never too young to look ahead, these indigenous students spent thursday career cruising. >> This could be life changing, right? If a student finds a trade that they love and are inspired by it. >> Tiktok term baby hiawatha first nation, along with the local catholic school board, is hosting its first ever skilled trades fair for indigenous youth . >> Fairs like this offer that opportunity for our youth to not only build a career, but to stay within their own community. >> If they choose to do that. >> More than 150 students met with 74 presenters from dozens of trades, taking the opportunity to ask questions, learn a new skill and try on some new digs. Ontario estimates 360,000 unfilled jobs in the province, claiming 1 in 5 are expected to be in skilled trades by 2025. Electrical however, for me is I like building things. >> I like creating something. >> Grade 11 student andrew interviewed for the ontario youth apprenticeship program, and while she's certain her future is in electrical, the fair was still an opportunity to learn. It's giving me a new perspective. >> Like before I got here, I like spray painting, garage doors. I did not know that was trades work. I did not know until today. And I got to try it out, which is awesome for industry workers included, those with indigenous backgrounds like gary paulin, a recruiter with the ontario power generation iron program, providing support to recruit indigenous men and women into the industry. >> I know all the baby boomers

retiring, so there's a big gap to fill and about 40% of our jobs out in the workforce are going to be in skilled trades. So this is great, we're behind the ball. But, you know, projects like mine, my program here, is really helping to fill those gaps. >> For students like paul and son carter. There's still uncertainty about what trade to choose. >> Not yet, but I got two pamphlets. I want to see how it goes to them and keep going. >> And so with the resources in hand and the opportunities in abundance for these youth, the future can be as bright as they choose. Robert-lothian "global-news" you're watching "chex-peterborough" >> You may have noticed water levels are lower than usual. This spring, including lake ontario. And experts say climate change has something to do with it. But as darryn davis reports, the current low levels are actually the opposite of what they predict is coming. >> Anywhere between 8 and 10cm right now, we are below average on lake ontario. >> Saginaw is keeping a close eye on those water levels as the co-secretary of the lake ontario saint lawrence board of control. The board is part of the international joint commission that manages water levels along lake ontario and the saint lawrence river, he says long term models actually show increasing water levels in the great lakes system. In the coming years, going up by maybe 10 to 15cm. >> But what we're really concerned about are the changes in extremes reminiscent of 2017 and 19, that showed what impact high water levels can have flooding municipalities up and down the saint lawrence and lake ontario, frontenac islands mayor judy greenwood-speers says residents on wells face serious issues with both extremes. >> When it's high water, it inundates the well and contaminates it from the top. When it's low water, you've got to get to that water. >> The wetlands are drying up. If the wetlands dry up, that is habitat for a very high biodiversity of organisms, not just aquatic organisms, but birds. >> Queen's university professor and freshwater ecologist john small says the longer, warmer summers and shorter winters are leading to lower water levels in other areas and to increasing water temperatures. Ideal conditions for more blue green algae blooms gives taste and odor problems, so it affects drinking water, but it's actually some more serious effects. >> Too many of them produce toxins. >> Greenwood spears says climate change is already impacting millions of people along the shores of the great lakes and saint lawrence river. >> Many of our cities and locations of villages are close to the water's edge. They're very at risk, and we have not done enough to get ready and protect. >> And with climate change extremes now, a well-established reality, those risks and impacts have become a question of when, not if. Darryn davis, "global news" kingston. >> Good morning. Happy friday, happy friday, decent weather conditions today. It has been cooler, certainly not quite as humid. And we are tracking some wet weather for the weekend, all due to this disturbance. That will be tomorrow and I'll time that out for you in the meantime though. Yeah, certainly cooler overnight and morning than it has been of late. More comfortable out there and that will be the case tonight as well as we drop to near the single digits, you can see there's a front towards the north. Much of that is drying out as it pushes south, so I expect sunshine across the area today and dry weather. Winds are variable at the moment. They will be out of the west at times, but nothing overly strong. We're starting off in the low double digits for the most part across the area, and as we take a look at daytime highs today, low 20s. So that is closer to average, not the mid to high 20s. Even low 30s that we were at at some points earlier this week. So comfortable conditions, even some high teens out there. And you can see the sunshine quiet weather today it's more towards the late morning that we are going to look at the potential for some showers, the risk of a thunderstorm and that will continue that risk into the mid afternoon. I think by the evening hours, much of that should clear and we dry out. And sunday sun cloud mix looking pleasant later monday night into monday. Early monday morning there will be the risk of some thunderstorms, but much of sunday will stay dry. So 21 on saturday we'll have to watch out for that shower. Thunderstorm risk 25 on sunday, and then you can see more of a chance of wet weather early next week. And that's a look at your forecast. >> Thanks, ross. We have your national and international headlines just ahead on "global" news morning peterborough stay with us. Announcer: fbi... You guys are gonna want to see this. Fbi: International... This is an assassination. Fbi: Most Wanted... Shut it down. Will do. The FBI's,
