Good morning. Manitoba is experiencing its most devastating wildfire in decades, but there’s hope that some help and humidity could slow down the fires. More on that below, plus a couple of tariffs updates and one Wimbledon winner. Let’s get to it.

The latest: Manitoba is experiencing its most destructive wildfire season in three decades, but officials are hopeful the arrival of international firefighters and cooler, wetter weather will help. As of yesterday, there were 122 active fires burning in the province, which has declared its second state of emergency this year.

What else: Nearly a dozen Manitoba communities continued evacuation efforts this weekend, including for around 4,000 people in Garden Hill First Nation and more than 1,000 near Snow Lake. During the previous state of emergency, more than 21,000 people had been evacuated.

Who else: About 160 firefighters are arriving in the province, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre. They come from Mexico, New Zealand and Australia and will join 101 personnel already in the province, but just miss 268 others from the U.S. have returned home.

Where else: Across Canada, nearly 560 wildfires burned on Sunday. In Ontario, there were 52 active wildland fires in the northwest region of the province.

Survey says: Canadians who live in the West are much more likely than those in the rest of the country to have taken action to reduce wildfire risk and mitigate the impacts of wildfire smoke, according to new polling.

The latest: The European Union said yesterday it would extend its suspension of tariff countermeasures until early August and meanwhile press for a negotiated settlement. The EU’s executive commission says it will keep talking and prepare retaliatory measures.

The context: Trump said earlier this weekend he would impose a 30-per-cent tariff on most imports from the EU and Mexico from Aug. 1. He sent a letter to Canada earlier this week threatening a 35-per-cent tariff hike.

What’s next: If the tariffs do indeed take effect, the potential impact on Europe could be vast. And the process of finding a response may test the unity of member states.

Analysis: Trump tariff threat piles pressure on Canada to expand trade with Asia.

The latest: In the middle of summer, we wanted to offer something lighter and sweeter. So we asked readers to tell us about the best ice cream in Canada – and it turns out, this is a wildly popular topic. From Muskoka Mocha to Moon Mist readers and staff shared childhood memories, treasured family rituals, nostalgic tastes of home – and a joyful, fierce pride of place.

What else: Vegan ice cream is getting a glow-up and tastes good (no, really).

What’s that? You may have never heard of Central Smith Creamery – but you probably know their ice cream.

Who else? I’m a mom who’s indifferent to ice cream, with a kid who lives for it.
