Good morning. This is Hanna Lee.

Does it feel like déjà vu? Canada has received a new Trump tariff threat, this time of 35 per cent on all goods. We'll have more on that below. Then, we'll hear from residents of Quadeville, Ont., who are reeling from the attack on an eight-year-old girl. After that, a look into Comfort, Texas, from our reporter Katie Nicholson.

Canada has finally received a dreaded Trump tariff letter, this time threatening a 35 per cent levy on all Canadian goods. 

What's happening: U.S. President Donald Trump posted a copy of the letter, addressed to Prime Minister Mark Carney, on his Truth Social account. It said the tariff will be enacted Aug. 1 and will be separate from sectoral taxes, like the one on copper. Any additional retaliatory tariffs that Canada places on the U.S. will incur an equivalent increase to the 35 per cent, Trump wrote.

The issues: In addition to fentanyl, which Trump again mentioned in this letter, the U.S. president dislikes the trade deficit with Canada, as well as our supply-managed dairy industry. In the letter, he suggested two ways to have the new tariff adjusted or dropped — build Canadian products in the U.S. or work with him to stop the flow of fentanyl. (He made no mention of the many measures Canada has taken to address that latter point, despite not being the main source of the drug entering the U.S.) The Prime Minister's Office declined to comment. Trump and Carney remain in negotiations to come to some kind of deal by July 21.

Shock in tiny Quadeville, Ont., after teen accused of attempting to murder girl

Quadeville, Ont., described as a quiet town of about 300 where everybody knows each other, has been shaken by the attack on an eight-year-old girl, originally thought to have been by an animal. Now, a 17-year-old boy has been charged with attempted murder and sexual assault. 

What's happening: Tests revealed no animal DNA on the girl, police said. The boy, who can't be named because of his age, is due back in court at a later date. "My heart dropped," said Junior Resmer, a resident who knows the girl and her family, of learning about the teen's charges. The girl is recovering at CHEO, the children's hospital in Ottawa. The Quadeville community held a bake sale and a dinner to raise money for her family. "I'm proud of that," said Resmer about the fundraisers. "That's good for a small community."

BEYOND THE HEADLINES

When floodwaters came, one small Texas town sounded its alarm

Ever since deadly flash floods ripped through parts of Texas on July 4, the area has been in recovery. Our reporter Katie Nicholson went to Comfort, a small community of 2,000 in Texas, whose flood warning siren has become a focal point. Comfort was spared the worst of the flooding — but questions are being raised about the failures of other warning systems in regions along the Guadalupe River.

As floodwaters from the river started to back up along Cypress Creek, which snakes around the town, officials in Comfort sounded sirens that wailed in two locations to warn townspeople of impending flooding.

"These sirens helped us," said assistant fire chief Danny Morales, a more than 50-year veteran of the volunteer fire department in Comfort. The community is in Kendall County, immediately east and downstream of Kerr County, which was hardest hit by the flooding. 

Morales has a personal stake in making things better: "I lost my granddad in the '78 flood here in Comfort and ever since then I've made it a point that, you know, I'm going to try to better our warning systems for our community," he said. The sirens are part of a series of emergency upgrades within the community.

Forty-five years after his brother Terry's run across Canada, Darrell Fox and a team of bikers finished a journey of their own. They concluded their month-long, cross-country bike ride for cancer research on Thursday in St. John's — the same place where Terry began his Marathon of Hope. "This ride has been next level in terms of what I see across the country, hearing from people who saw Terry in 1980," Darrell Fox told a crowd of onlookers. "And here you are, here today."
