Vancouver rundown for Wednesday, May 7, 2025.
Donald Trump and Mark Carney have had a friendly
visit at the White House, but the U .S. President
is sticking by his plan to keep the tariffs on
Canadian imports. Trump commented he had a lot
of respect for Carney and suggested he liked
him much more than Justin Trudeau and Chrystia
Freeland. Carney calls his meetings productive.
Other news. A 16 -year -old hiker has died in
a fall near Lyons Bay. The teen was one of two
hikers reported missing on Sunday afternoon,
prompting action from North Shore, Lyons Bay,
and Squamish search and rescue teams. The hiker
fell down a snow -filled gully on Hat Mountain,
prompting the other teen to call 911. Vancouver
police are still looking for a suspect in Monday
night's deadly stabbing on the downtown east
side. The 48 -year -old victim was found on a
sidewalk near Hastings and Carroll at around
845. The motive is unknown, but police do not
think the stabbing is linked to any other violent
incidents. Construction is now underway on the
new East Vancouver campus of B .C. Children's
Hospital. The $310 million project is being built
at East 21st Avenue and Slocan Street. The new
center will include a training facility and care
for 74 kids. A mix of sunshine, clouds, and possible
showers on Wednesday, windy at times, sunny with
a few cloudy periods for both Thursday and Friday.
