Tariff talk, dry weather fuels prairie fires, seabed mining, and more
Description
Tariffs on steel and aluminum going into the U.S. are now up to 50 per cent. Canada is the largest supplier of both – accounting for half of aluminum imports and 25 per cent of steel. Canadian industry leaders, business leaders, and politicians at all levels want the Carney government to retaliate – now. The prime minister says his team needs time to make a decision amid ongoing discussions with the U.S. that he says are going in a positive direction.
And: Dry, windy conditions are fueling fires in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. We talk to evacuees who have left their possessions behind – and are now sleeping in their cars. And Saskatchewan’s premier says there will likely be thousands more evacuations soon.
Also: A group of climate scientists say seabed mining could irrevocably disturb the world’s largest carbon sink – the oceans.
Plus: Game one of the Stanley Cup finals, Russia-Ukraine tensions, Gaza aid security, and more.
