Environment Canada meteorologist Ali Jalali said Monday wind is expected to lightly blow northwest on Monday, so he doesn't expect the wind will help blow the fire closer toward Churchill Falls. "We don't expect any precipitation for the next 24, 48 hours for that area," Jalali told CBC News on Monday morning. An evacuation order was issued last week for the power-generating town of Churchill Falls, forcing several hundreds of people to leave the central Labrador community. A skeleton crew remained behind in Churchill Falls to maintain the massive hydroelectric plant, which supplies energy to Newfoundland and Labrador as well as Quebec. Provincial forest fire duty officer Mark Lawlor said Churchill Falls is safe for the moment and the fire — which is about seven kilometres from the town — is still contained to the south side of Churchill River.

Despite the higher price tag, SUV and truck sales have grown exponentially in North America in recent decades, eclipsing sedans in the process. But the ubiquity of SUVs and trucks isn't an accurate reflection of what people want to drive, say industry analysts.

The head of the RCMP says he's uneasy with the idea that politicians could use their parliamentary privilege to name colleagues accused of aiding foreign powers. The RCMP has said anyone who leaks classified intelligence could be charged under Canada's secrets law. After the NSICOP report was made public, the RCMP issued a statement that said the force "did not receive information regarding all the matters contained in the report." Duheme told Rosemary Barton Live that since then, the RCMP has circled back with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to see if there are any avenues for further investigation. The use of intelligence as evidence has been a long-standing point of contention among Canada's security agencies, the police and the courts.
