From CBC News, it's the world this hour. I'm Joe Cummings. With interprovincial trade and pipeline projects dominating the agenda, Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Saskatoon today meeting with the provincial and territorial premiers. Rafi Bujekanian has more. I'm looking forward to finding some common ground. We've had a couple of nice texts. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has not been shy about what she's looking for. Faster approval for pipeline projects criss-crossing Canada, including one to the West Coast.

There has certainly been the talk. Prime Minister Mark Carney has spoken for months now of nation-building projects to kickstart the Canadian economy, setting high hopes and expectations for his first meeting with premiers since he got elected. New Brunswick's Susan Holt says investors would be interested in new energy projects. I think the case is looking better and better as we see the demands globally and the constraints in supply. Quebec Premier François Legault though is still looking to be convinced. If there's a project we're ready to look at it if it goes through Quebec territory, but we'll need to have economic impact, positive ones for Quebec.

Rafi Boudjikan, YonCBC News, Saskatoon We start the week with more than 25,000 people across the Prairie provinces forced from their homes due to wildfires. More than 170 blazes are currently burning throughout Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta with the demand for shelter space to house the evacuees growing by the day. Samson has the latest. A normally sleepy train station in Winnipeg filled with Manitobans fleeing wildfires over the weekend.

After being flown out of Pukatawagan in the north, residents like River Caribou took a 16-hour train ride to seek refuge. But it was very comfy. The baloney sandals were great. But rooms are running out as 17,000 people flee fires in Manitoba. Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Grand Chief Kyra Wilson, among others, is urging the province to force hotels to make room for evacuees.

And it's really sad to see, you know, our children having to sleep on floors. Fires forced more communities in Saskatchewan to evacuate over the weekend. Officials say conditions are bad and without rain rain the fires are expected to grow. Rain did fall in Alberta which helped firefighters but conditions are still too dangerous for the 4500 Albertans forced from their homes to return. Sam Samson, CBC News, Edmonton. The FBI in Boulder, Colorado is investigating what it's calling a targeted act of terror after a crowd of people yesterday was attacked by

a man wielding some form of flamethrower. Eight people were injured and a suspect who police say had been shouting pro-Palestinian slogans is in custody. Katie Simpson reports. Katie Simpson reports. It was 1.30 Sunday afternoon. Members of the Jewish community had gathered for a march to raise awareness about hostages in Gaza, something that happened at this same location around the same time nearly every week in Boulder, Colorado. FBI Special Agent in Charge Mark Mihalik says the group was targeted in what authorities are calling a terror attack.

Witnesses are reporting that the subject used a makeshift fl flame thrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd. The suspect was heard to yell free Palestine during the attack. At least two people had to be airlifted to a burn center. A 45 year old suspect identified as Mohammed Solomon was arrested at the scene. US President Donald Trump was briefed on the attack, the second targeting the Jewish community in the U.S. in a matter of weeks. Katie Simpson, CBC News, Washington. Expectations are low as Russian and Ukrainian officials meet in Istanbul today for a second

round of peace talks. The two sides remain far apart on any type of specific deal and attacks by both countries over the weekend have been intense. The first round of talks in mid-May resulted in the biggest prisoner swap of the war, but they ended with no sign that a peace agreement is within reach. And that is The World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
