Thousands affected by NL fires, fewer houses being built, using teeth to restore sight, and more
About this episode
Parts of Newfoundland and Labrador are shrouded by thick smoke as four wildfires burn out of control. More than 13,000 people are on evacuation alert. The fires are also affecting venues for the Canada Games. While Canada has one of its worst fire seasons on record, some are asking: Why isn’t there a national fire response plan?
And: Is Canada moving quickly enough to build new homes?
Also: A medical story you have to hear to believe. A surgery to restore sight to the blind using teeth. We’ll tell you how it works and introduce you to one of the first people in Canada to benefit.
Plus: China escalates canola dispute with Canada, extreme heat and wildfires in Europe, National Guard deployed in D.C., and more.
