The G7 summit begins Monday in Kennanaskis, Alberta. But ahead of that, Prime Minister Mark Carney will be meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. They're expected to discuss issues like border security, tariffs and trade deals.

On his way to catch his flight to Calgary, Trump was asked if he's expecting any new agreements. Look, we have our trade deals. All we have to do is send a letter, this is what you're going to have to pay. But I think we'll have a few new trade deals, yeah. Trump also said he hoped Israel and Iran would be able to reach a ceasefire. That conflict is now into its fourth day. Carney already has been meeting with other world leaders who've arrived for the conference. Karina Roman with more.

The stakes are high for Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney playing host amidst a global trade war instigated by US President Donald Trump, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict in Gaza, and now Iran and Israel exchanging missiles. Carney has already tried to temper expectations. There will be no overall joint communique and hopes have dimmed for a trade and security deal between Canada and the US coming out of this summit. Canada-US trade minister Dominic LeBlanc says it's unpredictable. All of a sudden this can start moving in a way

that perhaps we didn't see. So if on Sunday it looks like there's no agreement, Monday night can suddenly be an agreement. And if we think we made progress two weeks ago, well, two weeks later, we haven't got the agreement we want. Karina Roman, CBC News, Banff, Alberta. Buzz Hargrove, a commanding voice in Canadian labor and politics, has died. The United States is going to fight like hell

to defend the manufacturing jobs that are so critical. For decades he was a force to be reckoned with in Canada as he fought for union members and social causes. Hargrove was president of the Canadian Auto Workers from 1992 to 2008. Buzz Hargrove was 81 years old. In Minnesota the manhunt for a suspect in four politically motivated shootings continues. Police are searching a rural area in Sibley County. Drew Evans is with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

We did locate a vehicle that we had interest in related to him yesterday that we were searching for and it was located in Sibley County. Also a hat that we believe he's wearing was found in proximity to that vehicle, which is what has led us to believing he was in that area. Evan says this is not the only avenue being pursued and that both state and federal arrest warrants have been issued. Police accuse Vance Luther Poulter of disguising himself as a police officer and shooting two state legislators and their spouses in their homes yesterday. Former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed.

State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were wounded and remain in hospital. Hundreds of wildfire evacuees are coming home to Cranberry Portage, Manitoba. They were forced to flee two weeks ago when blazes bore down on the town. Emergency coordinator Lori Forbes. I think everyone is very fortunate up in Cranberry Portage. There is no structural damage, so they're going home to a community that's ready to receive them, get them lawns mowed, get some gardens put in and carry on with everyday life. Forbes says municipal services are running again, including the local dump, which will likely be in heavy use as residents empty spoiled food from their refrigerators.

And while other communities also welcome brothers and its home this weekend, Flamflon remains under mandatory evacuation order. Many children in Canada count on breakfast programs to ensure they have at least one solid meal a day, but those are normally run out of schools that close down in the summer. At least one food bank is trying to bridge that gap. Rachel Wilson is CEO of the Ottawa Food Bank. There's many great breakfast programs through schools throughout the city. They're amazing programs, but unfortunately in the summer they all close up when the schools are done. Many of those children will be turning to their families to find

breakfast, lunch and dinner, and we know that families are really struggling right now. It's summer food drive raised more than 40,000 kilograms of food. That is your world this hour.
