King Charles delivered a throne speech

full of flourishing rhetoric about strength and freedom and acknowledgement of tough times. Charles speaking to Canadians feeling increasingly under threat from both the economy and their American neighbour. Kate McKenna was there. It is with a deep sense of pride and pleasure that my wife and I join you here today. It was the main event of a historic visit. King Charles delivered the first throne speech from a sitting monarch in decades. His remarks and royal visit crafted to send a message. All Canadians can give themselves far more than any foreign power on any continent can ever take away. The King never mentioned Donald Trump by name,

but he nodded to the subject on many Canadians' minds. Everything is for Canadians first and foremost, speech from the Throne, for setting out a bold ambitious plan for Canada.

Kate McKenna, CBC News, Ottawa. Mixed in on a busy day for Prime Minister Mark Carney was a phone call with the King of Jordan. King Abdullah II congratulated the Prime Minister on his election victory, but the pair also discussed the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the need for a ceasefire.

flee, including most of the residents of Swan Hills. Many are in rural locations making fighting back all the more challenging. Julia Wong reports. Just saw smoke. That sight of smoke from a nearby wildfire was startling for making fighting back all the more challenging. Julia Wong reports. Just saw smoke. That side of smoke from a nearby wildfire was startling for Kathy Lawrence. Holy smokes, that's close. Lawrence is from the town of Swan Hills, Alberta,

about 220 kilometers northwest of Edmonton. She and roughly 1,300 others were ordered to leave Monday night as a wildfire crept closer. A similar scene is playing out in Lynn Lake, Manitoba, more than 1,000 kilometers north of Winnipeg. There's huge billowing clouds of smoke just south of our town. Mayor Brandon Dulowich says a wildfire is threatening the community.

Around 900 people have been ordered to go. In neighboring Saskatchewan, the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation has declared a state of emergency because of a wildfire. It has ordered about 3,800 people to leave Pelican Narrows, a community 500 kilometers northeast of Saskatoon. Wildfire expert Mike Flanagan with Thompson Rivers University says, so far, this season is close to typical. This is our new reality. We're going to see more fire and smoke. Julia Wong, CBC News, Edmonton. The Calgary Company at the center of a large E. coli outbreak has been fined $10,000. Hundreds of children fell ill at various daycares across

the city in 2023. The commercial kitchen company Fueling Minds pleaded guilty in April to four bylaw offenses. Megan Grant has more. It is a lifelong battle that we will live with forever. Kyla Herman's four-year-old daughter was hospitalized during the E. coli outbreak. She developed HUS, a condition that can lead to life-threatening kidney failure. Herman and several other mothers were in court today as Fueling Minds was handed a $10,000 fine

for bylaw offenses. The company admitted to operating without a proper catering license. During the September 2023 outbreak, more than 440 cases of E. coli were identified, mostly in children. Dozens were hospitalized. The city said it traced the outbreak to Fueling Mines, a catering company that supplied food to daycares. Many of the families are part of an ongoing proposed class action lawsuit, fueling Minds lawyer Steve Major was careful to separate the company's guilt for the bylaw offense from any connection to the E. coli outbreak.

The families that you know, they want answers and hopefully they will get those answers in that proceeding. Megan Grant, CBC News, Calgary. And that is Your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fege.
