Also: Hot, dry weather is fuelling ‘dangerous’ wildfires in parts of Manitoba. One of the largest is spreading near the municipality of Lac du Bonnet, about a 90 minute drive northeast of Winnipeg, where encroaching flames have killed at least two people, and forced hundreds of people from their homes. Local officials say the fire has also burned down some buildings, causing ‘significant loss.’ And: Bad grades.

And: Honda Canada is delaying a $15-billion electric vehicle investment project in Ontario. The plans included a battery plant and retooled vehicle assembly facility. The likely culprits: a slowdown in demand, and the uncertainty of tariffs. Also: U.S. President Donald Trump is in Saudi Arabia, trying to extract a trillion dollars in business from the country.

And: Sources say Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to have a more scaled-down cabinet, compared to the three dozen ministers in Justin Trudeau’s. The cabinet will be sworn in tomorrow.

The grower hopes that his produce will help Canada be less reliant on the U-S market.

New jobs numbers suggest tariffs and the trade war are affecting the economy. Canada shed tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs, in the highest unemployment rate the country has seen – outside the pandemic – in years. And: U.S. President Donald Trump throws out another number for tariffs on China – this time: 80 per cent. It may be a sign he’s trying to de-escalate the standoff with Beijing over tariffs, before U.S. and Chinese officials meet this weekend in Switzerland. Those will be the first major talks since Trump began his trade war. Also: A medical trial in Canada is testing a new treatment for Parkinson’s disease: adaptive deep brain stimulation.

Prime Minister Carney visits Washington for his first face-to-face with President Trump. The two leaders talked about tariffs, and how their countries can work together. No decision was made on trade, but Carney pushed back on renewed '51st state' comments from Trump, adding Canada is 'not for sale.' Also: Pierre Poilieve reflects on last week’s election, as he speaks to the media for the first time since losing his Ottawa-area seat, and his Conservative caucus gets to work on picking an interim opposition leader.

Plus… Vancouver’s push for more mental health support after this weekend’s attacks, the long-awaited minerals deal between the U.S. and Ukraine, and more.

The Liberals under Mark Carney have won a fourth consecutive term. With another minority government the Liberals will need to find allies to pass their legislative agenda.

But they failed to form a government. And leader Pierre Poilievre lost his own seat.

With the federal election campaign heading into its last days, party leaders sharpen their messages to voters. Mark Carney leans into the public fear of American annexation, while Pierre Poilievre details the changes he’d deliver in his first 100 days if elected prime minister. Both the NDP and Bloc Quebecois leaders argue they’d have vital roles to play in holding the major parties to account. Polls still show the Liberals with a lead over the Conservatives, one reason being the seats the Liberals are poised to snatch from the Bloc Quebecois. For the first time in 20 years, the Liberals are threatening the Bloc in Northern Quebec, where the pitch is for voters to join the winning team. The U.S. culture war takes another turn. The FBI arrests a sitting judge in Wisconsin, accusing her of helping a man wanted for deportation to evade the immigration officers waiting to nab him outside the courtroom.
