• Devastation in Texas, Canadian flood readiness, drought in Saskatchewan, and more
    Jul 7 2025

    Debris and destruction are spread for 100 kilometers along the Guadalupe River in Texas. Teams are still searching for the missing, and more than 90 people are confirmed dead. Adding to the heartbreak: questions over whether enough was done to warn people to get out.


    And: Canada doesn’t have a flash flood alert system. And some are saying it should. Its river plains could be at risk, and so could the people who live along them.


    Also: People in Saskatchewan are coping with the other side of the extreme weather spectrum – a severe lack of rain. Several communities have declared emergencies because of drought.

    Authorities in Texas say -- they are not ready to give up hope.

    And: In the face of trade tensions with the U.S., some auto industry leaders in this country say it's time for Canada to steer our own destiny - by building cars entirely within Canada's borders. But some experts say that task is easier said than done.

    Jul 5 2025

    Devastating flash flooding has killed more than 30 people in Texas - including at least a dozen children. More than two dozen young girls are missing after being swept away from a campsite by rising waters. You'll hear more on the damage - and how State and federal officials are responding.

  • Could free sunscreen reduce skin cancer, Jota dead in crash, West Bank reshaping, and more
    Jul 3 2025

    Skin cancer is on the rise in Canada. The vast majority of cases are connected to sun exposure. One of the best protections – staying out of the sun or using sunscreen. But experts say teens and young adults are exposing themselves more to the sun, with less UV protection. So, how to turn back that trend?


    And: The death of a soccer star. Liverpool FC striker Diogo Jota has died in a car accident in Spain. Police say the 28-year-old Jota - and his 26-year-old brother - were killed when their car left the road and burst into flames.

  • Staff picks — Canada Day edition: Pride-filled Canada Day, tough times for grads, hugging American tourists, and more
    Jul 1 2025

    Canadians celebrate our national day with pride fuelled in part by the US tariff war and talk of becoming the 51st state. The phrase elbows up entered the Canadian lexicon along with an attitude to hit back. It’s generated a boom for Canadian product makers, with a new ‘buy Canadian’ attitude — but has also scared off American tourists that we are trying to win back.


    And: Graduating from school into today’s job market is scarier now than it has been for decades. The pandemic, exploding inflation, now a tariff war mean fewer jobs, and shrinking opportunities. Finding any kind of job can be a full time job for today’s grads.


    Also: Canada is among several nations moving to make a climate change pipedream come true: devices that can suck deadly carbon emissions out of the air. They say they're getting close enough to attract serious investment.


    Plus: Sir David Attenborough has been the world’s guide to the wonders of nature for most of his 99 years on earth. In what may be his final film, he focuses on how the seas can save us from climate change, if only we can save them from industrial overfishing.

    And: During his election campaign, Mark Carney promised to move fast to solve problems and meet challenges by Canada Day. Now that he’s prime minister, we look at how that’s going.


    Also: It's the heat AND the humidity, and centuries of burning of fossil fuels. Temperatures across Europe rise into the 40s – just as the tourists arrive in droves.
