KABCTuesday, October 20, 2026 6:14PMOne woman just made history as the first person to swim all 900 miles of the California coastline. Catherine Breed, 33, says her remarkable feat was about more than just breaking records. She wanted to bring attention to ocean conservation and inspire more women and girls to take on ambitious goals. Breed not only finished her historic journey on Sunday - but finished it ahead of schedule. She started the 900-mile swim on July 1 at the Oregon border. For four months, she swam south towards the Mexican border. She averaged about 10 miles a day with her support crew following alongside her. During the swim, Breed lived on a 52-foot sailboat. There were strict rules about how she could complete the journey. When we spoke with her back in August, she explained how they made sure every mile counted. “During the swim time, I cannot touch the boat.

The gathering is part of Breed’s approximately 900-mile swim along the California coast, from the Oregon border to Mexico. Her journey, which began on July 1, carried her past the remote North Coast, past the Golden Gate Bridge, across Monterey Bay, along Big Sur and around Point Conception before continuing through Southern California to the Mexican border. Throughout the expedition, Breed has stopped in coastal communities to share her experience and meet the people working to protect local waters. “Swimming this coast has given me a deeper appreciation for the work it takes to protect it,” said Breed.

As Stelco reports soaring earnings, how solid is their layoff legal case?
U. S.-based Cleveland-Cliffs said on Monday that it saw its strongest quarterly financial results since the year before acquiring Stelco in 2024. This comes as Stelco continues to lay off hundreds of workers at its steel plant in Hamilton, Ont., while citing pressure from U. S. tariffs, a decision the federal government says breaches its binding agreement to maintain jobs. Cleveland-Cliffs said it saw net earnings of US$612 million in the third quarter, up from $286 million in the previous quarter. Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves in the report said, “Third quarter was our strongest quarter in three years,” and added that the figure was higher than the $575 million guidance they provided three months earlier. On Tuesday, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly spoke outside the House of Commons. “We took good note of the earnings call that happened yesterday where the CEO of Stelco again mentioned that he was in favour of American tariffs against steelworkers in Canada and therefore we’ve hired the best lawyers to advise us on what to do next,” said Joly.
