The World This Hour for 2025/06/02 at 08:00 EDT

When a body is discovered 10 miles out to sea, it sparks a mind-blowing police investigation. There's a man living in this address in the name of a deceased. He's one of the most wanted men in the world. This isn't really happening. Officers are finding large sums of money. It's a tale of murder, skullduggery and international intrigue. So who really is he? I'm Sam Mullins and this is Sea of Lies from CBC's Uncovered, available now.

From CBC News, it's the world this hour. I'm Joe Cummings. With inter-provincial trade and pipeline projects dominating the agenda, Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Saskatoon today meeting with the provincial and territorial premiers. Rafi Bujakantian 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. I think that there's a spirit of collaboration. 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 Lagaud 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 in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, with the demand for shelter space growing by the day.

Sam Sampson 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 sandwiches 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, the fires are expected to grow. Rain did fall in Alberta, which helped firefighters, but conditions are still too dangerous for the 4,500 Albertans forced from their homes to return. Sam Samson, CBC News, Edmonton. The FBI in Boulder, Colorado is calling it a targeted act of terror. At least eight people were injured yesterday when a man armed with a flammable liquid and a makeshift flamethrower attacked a group of people rallying support of the Israeli hostages

being held in Gaza. Here's Richard Madden. Federal and local authorities continue to investigate this attack that happened during an afternoon march yesterday in support for the Israeli hostages still held in Gaza. Now a few dozen people were peacefully walking down a busy pedestrian mall in Boulder, Colorado, when a man allegedly started yelling at them and then tossed bottles filled with some kind of liquid. Here's the FBI's Mark McCallick. Witnesses are reporting that the subject used a makeshift flamethrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd. The

suspect was heard to yell, free Palestine, during the attack. Police have identified him as 45-year-old Mohammed Salman. Reports say he's an Egyptian national who authorities believe acted alone. Now, authorities say there are at least eight victims between 52 to 88 years old. One of them is a Holocaust survivor.

All are suffering very serious burns. Richard Madden, CBC News, Washington. After a busy weekend of celebrations, this year's Canadian Screen Awards came to a close last night. The Canadian Screen Award goes to The Apprentice. It's The Apprentice-winning film of the year. It was filmed and produced in Toronto and chronicles the early rise of Donald Trump. All the weekend winners and highlights are on our website, cbcnews.ca. And that is The World This Hour.
