Trump increases steel and aluminum tariffs, fleeing Flin Flon, ads with fake endorsements, and more
Episode description
U.S. President Donald Trump is upping the ante on tariffs again. He abruptly announced he's increasing the tariff on steel and aluminum to 50 per cent.
And: Everybody out. The mayor of Flin Flon, Manitoba says fire is threatening the city and everyone needs to leave immediately. Anybody left could be putting their lives in danger. Evacuees say they’ve seen what fire has done to other communities – and they’re worried.
As fire seasons get worse, does Canada have the resources it needs? Already this year, provinces are appealing to other countries to help. Experts say the answer might not be more fire fighting power, but preventing them from igniting in the first place.
Also: Don’t believe everything you read online. Diabetes Canada is warning about medical products that falsely claim to be endorsed by legitimate health organizations.
Plus: Free golf balls, discounted hotels, and bike rentals on the house – U.S. businesses and tourist boards are trying to lure Canadians back; aid trickling into Gaza and no ceasefire yet, cross examination of Carter Hart, and more.
