From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Neil Herland. We begin with breaking news from
Toronto where a mass shooting took place in the city's north end tonight, six people were shot in the Lawrence Heights neighborhood.
One of them is dead.
This man lives nearby and heard the gunshots.
Between 10 and 20, like too quick to be fireworks.
I felt really scared, like I'm not gonna lie.
There was a lot of blood and a lot of people yelling and screaming.
Puddles of blood, people being given life-saving procedures.
Five of the surviving gunshot victims are now in hospital.
U.S. President Donald Trump has signed the executive order to double steel and aluminum
tariffs.
They'll rise to 50 percent from 25% starting next hour.
Canadian steel and aluminum producers have spent months hoping an already
devastating situation would improve, but as Anis Haydari reports, it's about to
get worse. You know we come up with a plan on a 25%
tariff and then as of June 4th the tariff's gonna be 50%. Trevor Borland
owns Pacific Bolt
manufacturing in Langley BC. His company uses steel. Their US sales already went
off a cliff with the first round of tariffs. But after Donald Trump surprised
many by saying he would double steel and aluminum charges. The bar gets changed so
often and so frequently and so quickly it's really hard to decide or what to do.
Higher tariffs in the US mean even higher prices in that country for those Canadian
metals.
Nathan Janssen is an economist with RBC.
Demand for Canadian steel and aluminum will fall and lower prices in Canada.
Steel industry representatives have said hundreds of jobs have already been lost in Canada
and say they can't keep producing if one of their major markets, the United States, is charging these
tariffs. NEC News, Calgary. Prime Minister Mark Carney released a statement tonight. It says the
additional tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum announced today by the United States are unlawful
and unjustified. Canada's new government is engaged
in intensive negotiations to have these and other tariffs removed as part of a new economic
and security partnership with the United States.
Hot dry and windy weather continues across the Prairie provinces, fueling wildfires that
are forcing thousands of people from their homes. Aaron Collins reports.
A water bomber skims the tree line near Larrange, Saskatchewan.
Residents here, some of the latest to be forced out by fires.
Waiting is the hardest thing on any evacuation.
When do we evacuate? When can we get ready?
After weeks on edge, Tom Roberts finally moving.
A slow retreat south from L Ronge, fast moving wildfires
at his heels. Across western Canada, tens of thousands of people are out of their homes.
Dozens of out of control wildfires threatening communities across the prairies and parts
of BC and Ontario too. Evacuees fanning out across the country. Winnipeg's train station a hub for some forced out by fires.
Officials in the north of the province urging residents to get out.
The federal government has announced more help for wildfire evacuees
joining with Manitoba and Saskatchewan to match donations to the Red Cross.
Aaron Collins, CBC News, Calgary.
An Ottawa public school trustee resigned tonight.
Nilly Kaplan-Murth says she faced anti-Semitism while sitting on the school board. My unspokenness
about being targeted as a Jew and as an Israeli have made me a particular focus of hate. Kaplan-Murth
is a medical doctor who rose to prominence during the COVID pandemic by organizing mass vaccinations in Ottawa.
She says her public profile made her a target. I am resigning because of the combination of the
toxicity from outside of this board and from within this board. Kaplan-Murth clashed with some
of her fellow Ottawa school trustees and the board's integrity commissioner sanctioned her last year
for violating the board's code of conduct.
And that is your World This Hour.
For CBC News, I'm Neal Hurland.
