We're going to bring it from 25% to 50% the tariffs on steel into the United States of America.

Flint Flawn, Manitoba is nearly a ghost town. Only firefighters and essential workers are staying behind after a mandatory evacuation order as fast-moving wildfires fueled by shifting winds are bearing down. Caroline Bargout reports.

Gusting winds are steering the flames towards the city. The fire has grown to 40,000 hectares. There is too much smoke for water bombers to get off the ground, so people here are just hoping their community is spared. You know it's gonna be hit or miss, Mother Nature, what can you do? Danny Amont moved from Winnipeg to Flintlawn in January looking for quieter life. He packed up his cats along with some family relatives and their dog. The group is slowly making the eight-hour drive south to Bird's Hill. It's difficult because you know you have to leave so much behind. It's like every memory I have is in that house. Premier Wabkanoo says the fire conditions this year are unlike any other. This year it's every region at the same time. The

premier says because of that the province needs outside help. Water bombers have been sent from Ontario. Crews and equipment are being deployed from the U.S. Caroline Bargout, CBC News, Winnipeg. They look like medical products endorsed by reputable Canadian organizations, but they're not. Now, Diabetes Canada is warning its logo is being used without permission. Alison Northcott explains. When you open the box box you have this gadget. Joel Snipman thought he was ordering a device

to help monitor his blood sugar and make it easier to manage his type 2 diabetes after seeing an ad on Facebook. He trusted it because it appeared to be endorsed by Diabetes Canada. But the product he got wasn't what was advertised. It measured blood oxygen levels, not blood sugar. I wanted Diabetes Canada to know that some crooked outfit was using their logo. Diabetes Canada says it's heard from more than 300 people complaining of similar ads. This is slimming and health boost drops.

The organization's president and CEO Laura Siren says people have reported ads for purported diabetes health products or blood sugar meters with Diabetes Canada's logo. But she says the organization never endorses any medical products. So if you live with diabetes and you are seeing a health product, you think, oh, that looks interesting, and it's endorsed by Diabetes Canada, you need to know that's false.
