Aviation experts have arrived in New York City to probe how an Air Canada flight from Montreal crash-landed at LaGuardia Airport, killing its two pilots and injuring many more.

Disaster struck late Sunday when the jetliner carrying 72 passengers and four crew touched down and crashed into a firefighting truck that had been cleared to cross part of the tarmac.

Multiple media outlets have identified one pilot as Antoine Forest, from Coteau-du-Lac, Que., southwest of Montreal, and Toronto college Seneca Polytechnic named the other pilot as alumnus Mackenzie Gunther.

Passengers say they remember the pilot slamming on the brakes, hitting the seat in front of them, while flight attendants reported being thrown onto the tarmac.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada will also be taking part in the investigation.

Air Canada plane crash at New York airport may add to travel fears: psychologist

A Canadian psychology expert says some air travellers may be feeling anxious after Sunday's Air Canada plane crash in New York City.

Martin Antony, at Toronto Metropolitan University, says people who are already fearful of flying may have those fears reinforced following the crash that killed its two pilots and injured many more.

Antony says any initial anxiety tends to pass and that it's best to recognize their fears rather than avoid them.

He also says that for those concerned about flying, it's helpful to "keep things in perspective," as it's statistically unlikely to be involved in a plane crash.

Tariff-hit industries struggling as trade war drags into second year

Canadian businesses hit by targeted U.S. tariffs are struggling to figure out a path forward more than a year into the trade war.

Companies have cut staff, pulled back on production and pushed for government action as the heavy tariffs continue to upend the crucial and long-standing trade relationship.

Daniel Drapeau, CEO of custom cabinet maker Miralis, invested more than 40 million dollars in recent years to ramp up capacity in what had been a growing business — until U-S President Donald Trump imposed a 25 per cent tariff on the sector.

Other tariff effects are being felt this week in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., where Algoma Steel Inc. is starting to lay off upwards of 1,000 workers.

Manitoba government hands down budget amid health care, affordability concerns

The Manitoba government is set to deliver its annual budget today.

It's expected to focus on affordability and health care, with rising gas prices and recent spikes in food inflation.

Premier Wab Kinew's NDP government has already promised to try to keep grocery prices down and has said it could introduce more limits on the price of milk.

It has said it would balance the budget by the 2027-28 fiscal year, but has missed its annual targets so far.

The budget is also expected to lay out plans for a promised public inquiry into a failed attempt by members of the former Tory government to get a silica sand mine approved east of Winnipeg.

Senators boost playoff push by beating Rangers 2-1

Shane Pinto scored on the power play, Warren Foegele added his fifth goal in nine games and the Ottawa Senators made up more ground in their chase to make the NHL playoffs by beating the New York Rangers 2-1 on Monday night.

The latest victory came at a cost of two more injuries to an already depleted defence, as Thomas Chabot took a stick to the right arm from J.T. Miller in the final seconds of the first period and Lassi Thomson left with a lower-body injury.

The Senators, missing Jake Sanderson because of an upper-body injury and Nick Jensen following knee surgery, finished the game with four defencemen.

The Senators visit the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday.
