Invasive and toxic hammerhead worms make themselves at home in Ontario
Ontario is now home to an invasive and toxic worm species that can grow up to three feet long and can be dangerous to small animals and pets.
Canadians Felix Auger-Aliassime and Leylah Fernandez have both advanced to the third round of the French Open following straight-set victories on Wednesday.

The 21-year-old Montreal product, the tournament's ninth seed, fired eight aces and converted on five of 10 break points in a dominating display on the clay at Roland Garros.
Auger-Aliassime's next match is Thursday against Serbia's Filip Krajinovic, who downed Borna Gojo of Croatia 7-6, 6-2, 5-7, 6-1 Wednesday.
Montreal's Leylah Fernandez, seeded 17th on the women's side, needed just 71 minutes to knock off Czech Katerina Siniakova 6-3, 6-2.
Later Wednesday, Bianca Andreescu of Mississauga, Ont., was scheduled to meet No. 14 seed Belinda Bencic of Switzerland. The winner will face Fernandez in a third-round match on Friday.
