From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Neal Herland. The Edmonton Oilers have won Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final with a thrilling sudden death overtime victory against the Florida Panthers, final score 4-3. The CBC's Julia Wong reports from Roger's place in downtown Edmonton. McDavid in front scores! Leon, three titles! Edmonton Oilers fans are basking in the glow of a game-one win on home ice. There were some tense moments as the game went into overtime, with the Oilers and the

Florida Panthers tied 3-3 at the end of regulation. With 31 seconds left in overtime, Leon Dreisaitl scored the game-winning goal and the crowd outside Roger's place exploded as the Oilers won 4-3. Fans cheered and jumped around, some clutching one another. But there's little time for the City or the team to rest. Game 2 takes place in Edmonton on Friday. Julia Wong, CBC News, Edmonton. The Prime Minister is taking time to respond to Donald Trump's latest tariff move on imported

steel and aluminum. Mark Carney says his team is still trying to make a deal. Kate McKenna has more. Unjustified, they're illegal, they're bad. Prime Minister Mark Carney with a message for the US President. Donald Trump doubled the tariffs on steel and aluminum, now an eye-watering 50%. Canada is the biggest exporter of steel and aluminum to the United States, and some industry groups warn with tariffs this big, that market is now basically shuttered,

leaving thousands of Canadian jobs in limbo. I want to discuss this and more with the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford. Ontario Premier Doug Ford came out swinging, appearing on CNN warning Americans this comes with the cost. It's a four billion dollar tax on American products that have steel. Speaking to Canadian reporters, Ford says Ontario will use Canadian steel and aluminum as much as possible. Carney says Canada isn't responding with more counter tariffs for now. He says the two countries are in intensive talks over trade, one of the first tests for Carney,

who campaigned on being a strong voice in dealing with Donald Trump. Kate McKenna, CBC News, Ottawa. Former Canadian astronaut and federal cabinet minister Mark Garneau has died. His wife Pam released a statement. It says her husband died peacefully, surrounded by family, following a short illness. In 1984, Garneau became the first Canadian to travel to space. He spoke with CBC radio's The House last year and talked about listening to classical music

while in space. The first time I flew, we used Walkman. We don't hear about those anymore, but I would listen to that and look out the window and it's just a sublime experience to do that. I mean, listening to good music is already fantastic, but while you're gazing at your planet as you're orbiting high above it and going around, it's just, I think, the closest thing to being in heaven. He also served as president of the Canadian Space Agency. In the 2000s, Garnot entered politics with the Liberal Party. Serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Transport, Mark Garneau died at 76.

Fire crews are on the front lines, trying to push back flames in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, as residents hope for rain. Aaron Collins has more. This year has been the worst. I have never seen a fire do this in my entire firefighting career. Joe Rat is a veteran firefighter who lives in La Ronge. He quickly volunteered to try to save his community, a fight that's still ongoing. When the people go back home, they're not going to like what they see. Many of Rat's neighbors have fled south to Prince Albert. You'd see the fire things burning on the side of the road.

Among the evacuees Jocelyn Theodoref and her daughter Haley. Well it makes you happy for the simple things. The resources are stretched thin across the prairies as this firefight drags on. Here we have Minnetonnas helping us on this side of Flint Flawn. Just across the border in Manitoba, crews are still fighting the fires burning near Flynn Flawn. That community still evacuated, still under threat. Aaron Collins, CBC News, Calgary.

And that is Your World This Hour. I'm Neil Herland.
