U.S. President Donald Trump is escalating his efforts to annex the territory by threatening tariffs on European countries that try to stand in his way.And: It's almost considered a classic thing to see in British Columbia - drift logs scattered along beaches and waterways. What many people may not realize is those logs are destroying critical ecosystems that keep the ocean healthy.Plus: First Nation sues the U.S. government over oil and gas development, Cartagena replaces horse-drawn carriages, Music's effect on the brain, and more.
