  • Lytton evacuates again, no tariff deal in sight, Canada on Palestinian statehood, and more
    Jul 31 2025

    The nightmare has returned: Residents living near Lytton, B.C. — an area that burned to the ground four years ago — are being told to evacuate again. The wildfire nearby is one of hundreds burning in the province.


    And: The deadline is supposed to be tomorrow, but there’s no sign that Canada has reached a deal to avoid U.S. tariffs about to come into effect. Mexico announced it has got an agreement to delay tariffs for another 90 days.


    Also: We have more on Canada’s plan to recognize Palestinian statehood. The CBC’s Sasa Petricic looks at what the plan is meant to achieve, and whether it could work.


    Plus: The situation on the ground in Gaza, the danger of ticks, and more.

  • Canada to recognize Palestinian statehood, Trump ups copper tariffs, Gen Z struggles to find work, and more
    Jul 30 2025

    Prime Minister Mark Carney says it’s time for Canada to recognize a Palestinian state, and will do so officially in September.


    And: The Trump administration has slapped a new tariff on copper. In the past few weeks, he has made deals with a few countries. The Bank of Canada says that has reduced the risk of a "severe and escalating" global trade war. But none of those deals include an agreement to remove existing sectoral tariffs — a fact that is worrying Canadian steel and aluminum producers.


    Also: Generation Z is struggling to find work. But that struggle is also driving many to become more financially savvy. New data suggests the group is better at investing and planning for the future than some older generations.


    Plus: Breathalyzer tests aren’t easy for everyone, millions put on tsunami alert after an earthquake off Russia’s coast, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s fight to get back into the House of Commons, and more.

  • Heat dome, B.C. wants in on ferry price cut, your health data at risk, and more
    Jul 29 2025

    Canada is baking under a heat dome. There are extreme temperatures across the country — including in the B.C. Interior, where temperatures are expected to reach 38 degrees. The country’s largest city has spent more than half the summer under heat warnings.


    And: The West wants in — on the ferry price cuts announced by the prime minister yesterday. Some in B.C. are asking why the reductions only apply out East.


    Also: The U.S. government could be looking at your health data. Many Canadian records are stored electronically by companies based in the U.S., and subject to U.S. laws.


    Plus: The UK says it will recognize Palestinian statehood if Israel doesn’t alleviate suffering in Gaza and reach a ceasefire, an update on the NYC shootings, and the auto industry is showing signs of strain amid the tariff uncertainty. Stellantis says it has already lost $2.7 billion in the first half of this year. GM says its profits are also down by billions.

  • Trade talks down to the wire, (push)back to the office, aid to Gaza, and more
    Jul 28 2025

    Prime Minister Mark Carney says trade talks with the U.S. are at an intense phase. U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening a 35 per cent tariff on non-CUSMA compliant trade, starting August 1.


    And: More aid is getting into Gaza, but humanitarian groups say it’s not nearly enough, and air drops are inefficient and dangerous. The U.S. and Israel reject the United Nations discussion about a two-state future for the Middle East.


    Also: Major Canadian companies are upping the pressure to get people back into the office. But after more than five years of working from home — at least some of the time — surveys suggest employees hate the idea.


    Plus: Protecting chimney swifts, Summer’s golden summer, car thefts are down, and more.

  • U.S.-EU trade deal, Venezuelans tortured in an El Salvador prison, Summer McIntosh goes for gold, and more
    Jul 27 2025

    Just days before an August 1st deadline, the U.S. and the EU have reached a framework trade deal. One that still comes with sweeping tariffs on most European exports. You'll hear what this deal could signal for Canada-U.S. trade negotiations.


    Also: A Venezualan man deported from the U.S. to a notorious Salvadorean prison is now telling his story of survival. Andry Hernandez is now home after being released as part of prisoner exchange just over a week ago. Hernandez says he and the other Venezuelans jailed in El Salvador were tortured.


    And: One down, four more to go. Canadian swimming sensation Summer McIntosh is on a quest for five gold medals at the World Aquatic Championships in Singapore - a feat that has only been achieved once before by Michael Phelps. And McIntosh has already started pulling in the hardware.


    Plus: Israel temporary pauses fighting for Gaza aid deliveries, finding surrogates on social media, the Ukranian team racing in the Royal St. John's Regatta, and more.

  • Starvation in Gaza, Donald Trump in Scotland, cuts to public radio, and more
    Jul 26 2025

    Gaza's health ministry says dozens of Palestinians have died from hunger in recent weeks, due to a lack of food aid. In response, Israel says it is allowing a limited amount of airdrops and will give access to the UN to deliver more. The airdrops come as international outrage from governments and aid agencies over the humanitarian situation in Gaza grows.


    Also: The U.S. President is taking a working vacation to Scotland this weekend. On Sunday, he will meet the head of the European Commission - as they try to inch closer to a trade deal between the U-S and the E-U.


    And: Across Canada and the United States, when there is a crisis like a flood or a wildfire, public radio can be a lifeline. But in the U.S., the Trump administration is clawing back more than one-billion dollars already committed to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. You'll hear what those cuts could mean for the rural and Indigenous communities that rely on public radio stations.

    Plus: Insurance costs for the Jasper wildfire, Typhoon in the Philippines, Alberta's taxes on B.C. wine, and more.

  • Mine workers freed, Trump on negotiating with Canada, feral child summer, and more
    Jul 25 2025

    Joy as three workers are freed after 60 hours trapped in a copper mine in northern B.C.


    And: U.S. President Donald Trump suggests there may be no deal with Canada on tariffs. Those tariffs are slated to take effect August 1. We’ll talk about what that means for the negotiations – which are still underway.


    Also: It's a trend many parents are touting on social media… they call it feral summer, wild summer, or... kid-rotting. What it means is summers as you may remember them: little schedule and long, languid days of relaxing and playing outside. But it won't work for everyone.


    Plus: Now that they’ve been acquitted, five former Canada junior hockey players may want to go back to professional play, Canada has another cross-border issue on its hands – invasive carp, mental health help for Jasper residents one year after a devastating wildfire, and more.

  • Hockey players not guilty, mine workers trapped, Hulk Hogan dead, and mislabeled groceries
    Jul 24 2025

    The judge in the trial of five former Team Canada hockey players has ruled they are not guilty of sexual assault. In her reasoning, she said the victim’s testimony was “not credible or reliable.”


    And: The company that runs the Red Chris mine in B.C. says work has begun to dig out three workers trapped behind 30 metres of debris. Newmont Corp. says specialized drones are assessing the conditions underground.


    Also: Some big grocery stores are being accused of selling food marked “Canadian” – that isn’t. A CBC investigation found multiple instances of products with a misleading maple leaf.


    Plus: Hulk Hogan has died. Hogan helped lead professional wrestling's rise in popularity in the 1980s and beyond, liver damage from alcohol doubles in U.S. study, Canada’s trade negotiators downplaying the possibility of reaching a deal with the U.S. by August 1, and more.
