  • Fire evacuations rising, Trump Administration immigration crackdown, Trade lessons from the EU, and more
    Jun 7 2025

    In Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, B.C. - the number of evacuation orders are climbing higher, just as massive wildfires in western Canada continue to swell. Those flames send smoke into the atmosphere -- prompting warnings to the east, and in parts of the United States.


    Also: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump Administration, is back in the U.S. But he is now facing trafficking charges. It comes as protests break out in Los Angeles - after a series of raids and arrests by federal agents.


    And: The Liberal government is promising all federal barriers to internal trade are coming down. But if that bill passes, barriers may still remain until all the provinces and territories reach agreements with each other. You'll hear how the European Union did just that - and what lessons Canada can take from that experience.


    Plus: The failure to dismantle the Minneapolis police department, Solar power helping India's salt farmers, and more.

  • One economy bill, evacuee frustration, Trump v Musk, and more
    Jun 6 2025

    One Canadian Economy – not just a bill tabled today in the House of Commons, but a cornerstone of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s policy approach.


    Carney invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the G7 in Alberta later this month. The relationship between the two countries has been strained for several years. The RCMP has detailed allegations accusing agents of the Indian government of playing a role in widespread violence in Canada, including homicides.


    And: Saskatchewan’s premier Scott Moe says two people have been charged with setting fires in the province. It’s not clear how large those fires got. But what is clear: thousands of people are out of their homes, waiting to find out for how long. And some are getting frustrated with the services available and the process to get them.


    Also: After the heated words of a nasty breakup – came the silence. But their spectacular public blow out yesterday still has the world wondering – what happens next as two of the world’s most powerful and erratic men square off?


    Plus: Russia strikes Ukraine, school boards urged to buy Canadian, and more.

    Jun 5 2025

    Canada’s trade deficit with the rest of the world is the largest it's ever been. It’s the starkest indication of how tariffs from the U.S. are affecting Canada. Economists say the numbers are ugly, and could lead to months-long freefall.


    And: Simmering tension between the president and Elon Musk has bubbled over. Donald Trump is now threatening to end all of Musk’s government contracts – which are worth billions. Musk says Trump would never have gotten elected without him.


    And: Israel has recovered the body of Judih Weinstein and her husband. Weinstein is a Canadian, who grew up in Toronto. They were killed when Hamas invaded Israel on October 7, 2023. Their bodies were recovered from Khan Younis on Thursday.


    Also: A newborn infected with measles has died. The baby’s mother had not been vaccinated. It’s the first death connected to Ontario’s measles outbreak, which has now passed two thousand probable and confirmed cases.


    Plus: GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic and others) can increase the risk of vision loss for people with Type-2 Diabetes, reaction to Trump’s travel ban, and more.
