Global National: July 25

The wildfire situation around Clinton, B.C., remains volatile. Firefighters spent the night protecting the community as another day of active fire behaviour threatens to push the Big Bar Complex even further. As Taya Fast reports, officials say they aren’t expecting any meaningful rainfall to combat the wildfires.

Donald Trump is again threatening tariffs, blaming Canada for not doing enough to prevent the wildfire smoke crossing the border.

That’s compared to five mosquitoes per trap last year at this time. Ashley Beherns has more.
