In the news today: Carney in Saudi Arabia, wildfire update, Ontario cancer coverage

Global Affairs Canada says the RCMP will deactivate the weapon while federal officials also release a wildfire update as B.C. evacuations continue.

  • Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Jeddah today to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, following his attendance at the NATO summit where Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan gifted him a personalized pistol.
  • Global Affairs Canada confirmed the RCMP decommissioned the weapon while seeking a museum home for it, as Canada's UN ambassador David Lametti warned that international rules are "under strain" by major powers.
  • Federal officials are providing a wildfire season update today, reporting 3,100 fires so far this season compared to around 2,900 last year, with total area burned at around 12,000 square kilometres.
  • A 37-year-old Toronto man Alex Shved is urging transparency after Ontario denied his out-of-country therapy application, despite Health Canada approving Tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte treatment for his Stage 4 melanoma.
  • Owner Cathy Jacobs relocated her café to the Alberta countryside after city construction near the Bow River forced the move, leaving her conflicted about returning once the building is released from three-year storage.
