Good morning. A First Nation in Alberta has launched a lawsuit in connection with a provincially funded construction project. More on that below, along with wildfire updates and a change in home prices.

A First Nation in Alberta is suing its former lawyer over alleged irregularities in the procurement of a provincially funded addiction recovery centre, saying that he worked with Edmonton businessman Sam Mraiche and a former chief to sole-source a $35-million contract for the facility.

The lawsuit: The Tsuut’ina Nation, a Dene community with roughly 2,500 citizens located near Calgary, filed a lawsuit against former general counsel Terry Braun alleging negligence, breaches of contract and fiduciary duties, and other wrongdoing in connection with the construction project.

The allegations: Tsuut’ina says its recovery centre, which was being built by contractor Melewka Homes Ltd., has been marred by “red flags,” including circumvented procurement processes, overpayments and duplicated invoices. It also alleges that former nation chief Roy Whitney and his family stood to personally benefit from the project.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has threatened to close “all other export corridors that benefit the U.S. and its allies,” Iranian media reported, after Iran shut the Strait of Hormuz and the U.S. reimposed a naval blockade of Iranian ports.

Fighting continues: The latest threat to global shipping comes a day after the U.S. military said it began a fresh round of strikes. Iran has recently attacked ships moving through the strait on a route overseen by the U.S. military that is outside Tehran’s control, setting off tit-for-tat strikes.

Freighters stay: A Canadian shipping firm has had to postpone plans to exit two commercial vessels from the strait after nearly five months of being trapped in the Persian Gulf.

Thanks to goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro, Spain has powered its way to the team’s first World Cup final since 2010 with a 2-0 victory over France. A day after his 19th birthday, Spain’s Lamine Yamal was denied a goal on a close offside call, but it was his smart play against a veteran defender that put Spain in the lead.

The take: Spain has to do two things now. Play on Sunday as it did on Tuesday, and resist at all costs the obvious conclusion by many millions of experts that there is now no way it can be beaten.

Today: England faces Argentina at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Plus, if your World Cup team has been eliminated, here’s who you should you root for now.

A Canadian internal trade panel has convened in Fredericton after an Ontario contractor alleged the Government of New Brunswick breached the Canadian Free Trade Agreement. It’s the first interprovincial trade dispute of its kind to reach the tribunal under the country’s free-trade agreement.

The context: Based in Acton, Ont., Julmac Contracting Ltd. alleges the New Brunswick government unfairly discriminated against out-of-province contractors in favour of local companies. The province says this is actually a simple matter of the contractor defaulting on its projects.

Ottawa is establishing a new secure facility based in Mirabel, Que, for industry to test and experiment with uncrewed defence systems. The hub is part of the federal effort to accelerate the development of key defence technologies so the country can be less reliant on the U.S. for gear.
