Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump met Tuesday in Washington for their first face-to-face discussion of U.S.-Canada relations and Trump's ongoing trade war.

Here are some highlights from the meeting, which Carney described as both "wide-ranging" and "constructive."

Carney says Canadians will 'never' put a price tag on sovereignty

After months of listening to Trump talk about annexing Canada, Carney told the president in the Oval Office that Canada will "never" be for sale.

Saskatchewan's Opposition NDP is planning to introduce legislation that aims to amend referendum and plebiscite rules, a move it says will hold Premier Scott Moe's feet to the fire on talk of separation. 

NDP Leader Carla Beck's private member's bill contains the words "Keep Saskatchewan in Canada" in its title. 

The Opposition was unable to provide details on the legislation as it has not been put before the legislative assembly. 

A notice of motion from the legislature says Beck plans to introduce the bill tomorrow. 

It was a dominating start to the season for the Marysburg Royals.  

They opened the year with a 10-0 win over the Saskatoon Dodgers. 

Cole Bauml led the way offensively, with five RBIs on three hits. Bauml had a pair of doubles along with a single.  

Marysburg had 12 hits with Bauml, Nick Anderson, Curtis Strueby, and Carter Frerichs had multiple hits.  

Plan accordingly if you’re travelling on Highway 5. 

Construction work resumed on the road on Tuesday. 

Drivers can expect long delays; however, alternative routes are available such as Highways 41, 27 or Highway 316, 16 and 2. 

Abbey Norek of Gerald is this year's Agriculture Student Scholarship grand-prize $6,000 winner.

Norek's winning video highlighted an urban-rural disconnect when it comes to agriculture. 

She proposed education and advocacy as key solutions to this issue. 

In her video presentation, she talked about her experience building a school garden using recycled materials, leading outreach programs on her family farm, and lobbying for agriculture electives in her school division.  

Southern Alberta farmer has long-standing issues with supply-management system for smaller egg producers like himself.

A southern Alberta egg producer who had been jailed for missing a court date for violating the provincial laws governing egg production has passed a premises inspection by Egg Farmers of Alberta.

Henk Van Essen said an inspector only spent a few minutes inside his operation before coming back out and telling him he was in full compliance.

“They were so sure they were going to find thousands of chickens in this barn,” Van Essen said.

Seeding is kicking off across the province. And whether you're already putting in fertilizer, or still fine-tuning your plan, it’s important to make informed decisions when it comes to your inputs for the season ahead.

New products are everywhere on the market and choosing the right ones can determine profitability and long-term success for your farm. I’m going to talk about one group of products that gets a lot of attention -- micronutrient fertilizers.

The Saskatchewan NDP spent Question Period asking the Premier if he would support a referendum on separating from Canada, referring to the recent launch of an online petition by the Unified Grassroots organization and its founder, Nadine Ness.

The NDP didn’t get a reply, but not because Scott Moe weaved his way around the question. It was because Deputy Premier Jim Reiter stood to speak in his place.
