Earlier today, Prime Minister Mark Carney publicly admitted that it's unlikely Canada will get a tariff-free trade deal with the United States. Carney made those comments to reporters ahead of a Cabinet meeting to discuss trade negotiations.

On today's show:

• Heat and wildfire smoke continues to impact large portions of Central Canada.
• Inflation in Canada ticked up slightly in June to 1.9 percent, as core inflation shows no signs of slowing down. That means there's little hope left of another interest rate cut before Fall.
• Last Winter, an ostrich farm in British Columbia lost dozens of birds following an avian flu outbreak. Today, the owners of that farm are fighting to save the remainder of the herd in a federal courtroom.
• The Daily Debrief Panel - featuring Sharan Kaur and Sebastian Skamski.
• In a new report, the Chief Science Advisor of Canada recommends that the feds create a new office - solely to track and research UFOs.
