Summary
Northern Ontario's raging wildfires have some residents fired up. Vasilios Bellos reports from Thunder Bay and hears from angry people who fled the flames and say they had no help. And Eric Sorensen looks at the complaints Ontario failed to plan for the forest fire season. Mackenzie Gray looks at the concessions Canada is making to get the Gordie Howe International Bridge open. Redmond Shannon explains why Ukraine turfed its defence minister, and why that's ignited protests. Plus, it's the soccer master versus the prodigy. Mike Armstrong reports on a matchup for the ages between Argentina soccer legend Lionel Messi and Spain's Lamine Yamal, and how the pair met 19 years ago, when Yamal was just a baby.
