1942, Europe. Soldiers find a boy surviving alone in the woods. They make him a member of Hitler's army. But what no one would know for decades, he was Jewish. Could a story so unbelievable be true?

For the first time since becoming Prime Minister, Mark Carney is meeting face-to-face today with the premiers. The meeting is being held in Saskatoon, with Carney making it clear that Ottawa is eager

to greenlight mining and pipeline projects. Janice McGregor reports. We don't always see smiles on the way into First Ministers' meetings. These premiers are a bit like kids on their way in to meet Santa Claus. They've all written up lists of infrastructure and resource projects that they're pitching, hoping theirs will be picked for the Prime Minister's shorter list of national priorities for finite federal funding and fast-tracked approval. Everyone seems to agree that regulatory delays hold Canada back. Here's the current chair of the premiers, Ontario's Doug Ford. You can't take 15 years, longest in the entire world, to get minerals out of the ground.

It's the how of it that's the problem. Ford's government, for example, has been accused of steamrolling Indigenous rights in its rush to pave a smoother way. The hard choices, picking what can be realistically delivered off these wish lists, that's where the rubber hits the road at today's meeting and the smiles may not last. Janice McGregor, CBC News, Ottawa. As of this morning, an estimated 25,000 people across the Prairie Provinces have been 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 more. 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 45500 Albertans forced from their homes to return. Sam Sampson, CBC News, Edmonton.

The FBI in Boulder, Colorado is calling it a targeted act of terror.
