The Canadian government is reportedly discussing a deal that would see Ottawa agree to a list of demands from the White House — including an end on the ban on American booze. In return, the U.S. would scrap its plans for new 50 per cent tariffs and the Americans would also agree to lower some sectoral tariffs. The deal isn’t done yet and as Sarah MacDonald reports, some provinces are already pushing back. The federal government says it will sell 10 retired Hercules aircraft to a B.C. aerospace company to bolster wildfire firefighting capabilities across the country. Those aircraft will be converted into water bombers and could be deployed next year. This summer, hot and dry conditions are keeping firefighters busy and on high alert in B.C.’s interior.

Police say an Islamist extremist drove a vehicle into the crowds and then went on a stabbing spree, killing one person and injuring 29 others. As Candice Cole reports, the attack sparked a massive manhunt that ended after German police found, shot and killed the 21-year-old suspect. Prime Minister Mark Carney has called three byelections to be held this summer in B.C., Ontario and Quebec. With the votes taking place on Aug, 31, the Liberals will need to win at least one of the three to maintain their majority government. Jillian Piper reports on the candidates and the stakes. After months of delays and political gridlock, the Gordie Howe International Bridge is expected to open to traffic Monday, July 27. The bridge connects Windsor, Ont., and Detroit, Mich., – the busiest trade corridor between Canada and the U.S. Sean O’Shea has more from Windsor. Plus, bee farmers on the Prairies are running into some major issues in the middle of honey production season. With a late start to spring and the looming threat of U.S. tariffs, most beekeepers may be looking at a below-average crop this year. As Ashley Beherns reports, beekeepers say it’s a great time to buy local. Germany’s largest Pride celebration turned tragic Saturday night in what authorities are calling a terrorist attack.

As Taya Fast reports, officials say they aren’t expecting any meaningful rainfall to combat the wildfires. The smoke from Canadian wildfires is drifting south of the border and appears to be top of mind for the U.S. president. Donald Trump is again threatening tariffs, blaming Canada for not doing enough to prevent the wildfire smoke crossing the border. Jillian Piper has more on Trump’s latest threat, and concerns that federal government cuts are hurting its wildfire response. The federal government shut down plans to expand Bill Bishop Toronto City Airport on Friday, citing concerns about public space, housing, noise and environmental impacts. But as Lexy Benedict reports, the province isn’t giving up its push for larger flights just yet. Plus, Mosquito counts in Saskatchewan are way up this year, with numbers up year over year and beating the 10-year average. In Saskatoon traps, there was an average of 168 last week. That’s compared to five mosquitoes per trap last year at this time. Ashley Beherns has more. The wildfire situation around Clinton, B.C., remains volatile.
