Indigenous leaders speak out against Alberta's premier, and accuse Danielle Smith of trying to create a national unity crisis. The comments come as Alberta proposes a bill to make it easier for voters to trigger referendums — including on seceding from Canada.





Also: Measles cases continue to rise across Canada. We look at where this highly contagious, but preventable disease is spiking, and what medical experts say are the reasons why.





Plus: The Trump Administration shuffles the deck. U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is out after his involvement in the Signal chat scandal that saw the leak of sensitive details about a military strike in Yemen. But he’s being nominated for a new position.





Also: Rising tensions between India and Pakistan, Quebec’s ban on cell phones in schools, and more.

Let’s make a deal. The U.S. President says he congratulated Mark Carney on his election win Monday. Trump says the Prime Minister will be in Washington within the next week to talk trade… and potentially reach an agreement on tariffs.





And: Prime Minister Carney may be travelling to Washington but he already faces a long to-do list that includes picking a cabinet, making a budget, and tackling core issues he heard from voters, like affordability and housing.





Also: Canadian students travel overseas to follow in the footsteps of soldiers who helped liberate the Dutch from Nazi occupation during the Second World War.





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.





For the Conservatives... the dust is still settling. They had some big breakthroughs where they needed them, and they got the largest share of the popular vote in the party's history. But they failed to form a government. And leader Pierre Poilievre lost his own seat.





The New Democratic Party will be looking for a new leader, after Jagmeet Singh lost his own seat and announced his intention to resign. The NDP suffered a historic defeat, losing official party status.

Canadians go to the polls to decide which party and leader will guide the country through economic turmoil, and threats from the U.S. president.





And: More details about the victims in the ramming attack Saturday in Vancouver. Eleven people were killed, and more than a dozen are still in hospital.

Also: The federal election campaign is coming to a close. We have an in depth look at how campaign 2025 went -- from each of the main parties: the Liberals, the Conservatives, the NDP and the Bloc Quebecois

Federal party leaders are making their last pitches to voters, as the campaign enters its final weekend. While Mark Carney and Jagmeet Singh make stops in Ontario, Pierre Poilievre is in B.C. - where seats in that province and others across western Canada could determine what form the next government takes.





Also: World leaders, Catholics and thousands of others poured into Saint Peter's Square to say a final goodbye to Pope Francis at his funeral. You'll hear from Canadians who made the trip to Vatican City.

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. 





It was the last day for the public to pay respects to Pope Francis. People crowded into St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican – for a last farewell. A delegation of Canadian officials led by Governor General Mary Simon has arrived in Rome ahead of tomorrow’s funeral for the pontiff. 





And more….

With just a few days left in this election campaign Liberal leader Mark Carney is hammering home his pitch that he is the best one to take on U.S. President Donald Trump. But there are new questions tonight about just what was said when the two talked back in March.





And: Cross border relations are crucial in this campaign. As many as 800-thousand Canadians live in the United States, but only a fraction of them voted in the last federal election. This time – they may be a bit more fired up.





Also: A Calgary company connected to an E. coli outbreak that sickened hundreds of children at daycare centres in 2023 has pleaded guilty to bylaw infractions. The catering company Fuelling Minds admitted it did not have a food services business licence at the time of the outbreak.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is promising to deal with encampments of homeless people by arresting them. He pledged to clean up the problem in parks but to also get drug treatment for those who need it. Critics want to know how criminalizing homelessness deals with unaffordable housing and helping people in need. 





Still with the election, the NDP’s Jagmeet Singh says Liberal Mark Carney will win the election. And Singh told voters today they should keep the Liberals honest by voting for the NDP to deny Carney a majority government. Singh is facing discouraging polls that point to the loss of many NDP seats. 





Also, crown prosecutors in London, Ontario opened their case at the trial of five former hockey players on Canada’s World Junior team. They detailed the incident as alleged by a young woman who said the men sexually assaulted her. Opening arguments put the focus on the meaning of consent.  





Plus, Canadians are among the many thousands of people in Rome standing in long and winding lines to file past the coffin of Pope Francis. And, the most recent report on the coral reefs of the world finds they are dying around the globe, but perhaps not forever. 

Canadians may be more engaged in this election race than ever before. More than seven million people cast a ballot over the weekend. It’s a record for advance polls. There are just six days left until Election Day, and the parties are working hard to push out their messages. The Conservatives have become the last major party to release a fully-costed platform. We have a look at what’s in it.





And: The funeral for Pope Francis will happen on Saturday. World leaders are expected to attend. His body will lie in state for three days at St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. On this Earth Day, some are remembering his environmental legacy — and his message about the urgency of the climate crisis.

And: Canadians are having to use their own money – to access basic healthcare. A shortage of family doctors across the country means private clinics are stepping in to fill the gap.





Also: U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is on the defensive – again. A New York Times report says he texted attack plans to people in his family on the message app Signal.





Plus: The campaigns have one more week to make their pitches to voters in the federal election. We have updates on what the major party leaders are up to.

Canadians are voting in record numbers this weekend in advance polls across the country, with nearly two million ballots cast on Friday alone. The high turnout comes as parties begin releasing their costed platforms, and as the campaign heads into its final week.





Also: Major cities like Toronto have seen a spike in the number of homeless encampments. But city officials across the country say many of them are starting to appear in more suburban areas. You'll hear what's behind the shift.





And: In the coastal town of Shediac, New Brunswick - the population of immigrants from the Phillipines has grown exponentially. We'll tell you one woman's story of bringing authentic Filipino food - and another new business - to the community.

We'll take you to Panama City, where those people - many from Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East - are struggling to figure out what to do next.





And: The NHL playoffs start tonight with five Canadian teams in contention for the Stanley Cup. You'll hear why there's some hope one of those teams could bring it home this year.

Advance polls are open, bringing with them the opportunity to vote, but also some frustration. Line ups at some polls are long, as people use a holiday to get out and vote.





And: U.S. President Donald Trump says he wants to help broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine but – he won’t wait forever. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the U.S. could give up on the talks within days. One discussion that’s still happening – a possible mineral deal between the U.S. and Ukraine.
