But it's not just Canadian businesses that will feel this. The Americans import most of their aluminum

and most of their imports come from Canada. Jim Stamford is an economist and director of the Centre for Future Work. It is Americans who will feel the pain in an immediate way as well as Canadians. In Canada, steel industry advocates already pointed out hundreds of job losses were related to the 25% tariffs. The exact consequences of 50% tariffs are unclear

because predictions often rely on consistent policies, which these days they often are not. NEC News, Calgary.

In northern Saskatchewan, hundreds of homes and structures have been destroyed, leaving the evacuees waiting and hoping that their property will be spared. Alexander Silberman has more. Wildfire tore into La Ronge, Saskatchewan mere hours after evacuees got out. Crews still battling to protect the remaining homes and businesses

Mayor Joe Horduski says firefighters from eight communities are continuing to fight to save buildings. I don't blame people for panicking. It's become a very, very dangerous situation. Hundreds of kilometres to the northeast in Dener Beach, near the Manitoba border, fire tore into town. The last firefighters on the ground airlifted out, with conditions too dangerous to keep up the fight. The Saskatchewan government says more than 400 homes and buildings have been destroyed so far.

It's the Oilers against the Florida Panthers with Edmonton captain Connor McDavid saying his team is prepared and focused on what lies ahead. It can feel like it's larger than it is. At the end of the day, it's another series. And then we're playing another great team and you got to beat them before anything else happens. So they have our complete focus. All of our energy is in going into beating the Florida Panthers. There should be nothing else on anyone's mind. This is a repeat, of course, of last year's final

that ended with Florida winning the Cup in seven games. For the Panther franchise, it was their first Stanley Cup. The Oilers have five to their credit, the last one coming 35 years ago. And that is the World This Hour. I'm Joe Cummings.
