Honda has selected Port Colborne, Ont., as the future site of a lithium ion separator plant, the first of its kind in Canada and a key part of the country's multibillion-dollar electric vehicle supply chain. The news coincides with the U.S. slapping heavy tariffs on Chinese electric cars, batteries, and minerals used to make those batteries. Mike Drolet explains what's behind the White House's decision, what it will likely mean for Canada and the broader ripple effects of a trade war.
Michael Cohen, the fixer-turned-foe of former U.S. president Donald Trump, is now being cross-examined about an alleged hush money scheme prior to the 2016 presidential election. Jackson Proskow reports on what Cohen says he was urged not to do.
Georgia has passed a highly controversial "foreign agents" bill that critics warn is inspired by similar, repressive legislation in Russia. Redmond Shannon explains why the legislation is so divisive and the chaos unfolding both inside and outside of Georgia's parliament.

We need to use the natural waters in proximity to the fires. I purpose portable mega pumps that pump the water from natural water supply near the fires.. and hoses that attach to heavy duty drones. The hoses have to be really really long. A constant pump of water from the dronws connected to mega pumps dunked into the nearbybwaters
