Good morning. The Group of Seven leaders’ summit moves into its second day, but an important one-on-one is getting as much attention. More on all the meetings below, plus further escalations in the Middle East and the arrest of a suspect in the attacks on Minnesota lawmakers. Let’s get to it.

The latest: Ottawa has described the G7 as a place “for Canada and its allies to confront the challenges of our time, united in a common cause.” But ripples of conflict endured as a group of the world’s most powerful leaders arrived in Alberta yesterday. Prime Minister Mark Carney’s pursuit of overseas partnerships and French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Greenland are subtle indications that they and their colleagues aren’t willing to let U.S. President Donald Trump have free rein with his agenda of tariffs and territorial expansion.

What’s next: Carney is expected to hold a one-on-one meeting with Trump this morning at the G7 leaders’ summit.

What else: Canada and Britain commit to trade talks after Carney and Keir Starmer met this weekend ahead of the G7 gathering.

Security detail: In the Canadian Rockies, a special challenge for officials – how to keep world leaders safe from grizzlies.

Analysis: At the G7, the trade war will be everywhere but on the agenda, economics reporter Mark Rendell writes.

Campbell Clark asks: Can Carney be the Trump whisperer for a while?

The latest: Monday was the fourth day that Israel and Iran exchanged fire. Israel threatened greater force as some Iranian missiles evaded Israeli air defences to strike buildings in the heart of the country. Planned talks on Iran’s nuclear program, which could provide an off-ramp, were cancelled.

Canadians stranded: Roughly 7,400 Canadians were travelling in Iran, Israel, the West Bank or Gaza when war suddenly broke out between the two countries. In Israel, the airspace has closed and other routes are risky. Without a Canadian embassy in Iran, getting help is even more complicated.

What’s next: The region is bracing for a escalating conflict after Israel’s surprise bombardment in Iran. Neither side showed any sign of backing down. Meanwhile, European leaders struggle with their response.

The latest: Unlike conventional fishing, where bait or lures are used to attract fish, flyfishers use special lures made of thread and animal hair that imitate fish food (such as bugs or even mice). Canada is home to world-class anglers who are helping new generations get into fly-fishing (yes, even in cities) and encouraging them to connect with rivers, lakes and streams all over the world.

What else: American megabrands dominate the outdoor space, but author and outdoorsman Chris Nuttall-Smith field-tested homegrown equipment. Your 2025 guide to Canadian outdoor gear for summer camping trips is here.
