All Summerlin, B.C. residents evacuating as the Bald Range wildfire continues to grow, a state of emergency in place, with the fire posing a risk to life and safety. The fire began around 15 kilometers northwest of Summerlin, on the southwest end of Okanagan Lake, about 250 kilometers east of Vancouver. Also, there's an evacuation alert in place for Peachland Watershed, as well as Brenda Mines area, Lower Princeton, and the downtown core. Residents in the area are advised to be ready to leave their homes at a moment's notice and to make arrangements for their pets and pack essential items such as medicines and important documents. Meanwhile, the evacuation orders for more than 2,600 properties, as well as alerts for 312 others in the Quilpatuck Creek fire area remain in place. The wildfire covers more than 1,100 hectares and is out of control. There are no known structure losses at the moment. Trade Talk Canada is looking at concessions in trade talks with the U.S., including scrapping provincial booze bans. This in hopes of avoiding threatened 50% U.S. tariffs on August 19th. Sources telling the Globe and Mail that the U.S. would drop the planned tariffs and lower separate tariffs on lumber, aluminum, and steel in return for the U.S. being given the right of first refusal for energy and critical mineral exports

At the same time, Canada is pushing for the U.S. to lower the Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum, as well as for relief for Ontario's auto sector and B.C.'s forestry industry.

Kids will be kids, and sometimes, well, it's tough. A Porter Airlines flight heading for the runway at Victoria, B.C.'s airport never got off the ground. Instead, turned back after the cabin crew and parents were not able to buckle in a child who had been standing on their seat. The airline says the aircraft could not take off in what it calls this unsafe condition, so it returned to the terminal, passengers got off, and because it was late, they had to spend the night in Victoria.
