Evacuee concerns, fires in B.C., Americans cut down Canadian travel, and more
Description
Not enough information, and not enough financial support. Wildfire evacuees in Saskatchewan say the province just isn’t stepping up. They say they’re waiting too long for help, and some of it comes in the form of gift certificates for stores hundreds of kilometres away.
And: Squamish, B.C., has declared a local state of emergency, and warned some residents to be on alert to evacuate. A fire nearby – caused by human activity – is out of control.
Also: Fewer Canadians are travelling to the US as a protest against President Donald Trump’s trade threats. But fewer Americans are coming here too, fearing a less than warm welcome. We look at a plan to lure them and their tourist dollars back.
Plus: School shooting in Austria, the military’s F-35 program faces skyrocketing costs and doesn’t have enough support or pilots, Canada joins several other countries to sanction Israeli cabinet ministers, and more.
