  1. Number 1: Last-minute trade talks; Wildfire forecast; Goats bring udder joy

    U.S. President Donald Trump appears ready to hit Canada with new 50 per cent tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods, with thousands of jobs in both countries hanging in the balance. Mackenzie Gray explains where 11th-hour negotiations stand, and the issues preventing a trade deal from being reached. And Heidi Petracek looks at how some Canadian businesses and industries are facing an existential crisis. Jillian Piper reports on Canada's updated wildfire forecast, and how the federal government is responding. Quebec is about to head into a provincial election, and the Parti Québécois, which is leading in the polls, says if it wins, it will hold a separation referendum, but only once Trump is out of the White House. Dan Spector explains why. Jackson Proskow looks at how Trump is making more big declarations about who will control the Strait of Hormuz. Redmond Shannon reports on a Palestinian American man's plea for help to the U.S. government to protect his West Bank home from Israeli settlers. Plus, after wildfires chased them out of their homes, most residents in British Columbia's Okanagan are being allowed to return. But it wasn't just people who were displaced. Sarah MacDonald shows you how one man and his herd of goats coped during the emergency, and how the animals brought some much needed joy to other evacuees. Learn more about your ad choices.
