2. Longer wait times: The Crown Corporation responsible is warning air passengers that their time in security lines is about go get longer, unless the federal government boosts funding.

3. Wildfire situation deteriorates: More evacuation alerts have been issued in B.C. as wildfires continue to burn across the province, as approximately 1,300 firefighters and support staff battle the blazes.

4. Jimmy Carter at work: The former U.S. president is in Edmonton, overseeing the start of a project to build 150 homes across Canada for Habitat for Humanity.
