Your World Tonight – Details, episodes & analysis

Canada's 45th General Election is now underway. You'll hear what the leaders of all the major political parties are saying on day one of the campaign - and how they're pitching themselves to voters.

Also: Canadians from across the country tell us what ballot box issues they care most about.

And: We'll take you to Washington to talk about the how the strained Canada-U.S. relationship is playing out on the campaign trail. 

The federal Liberals announced today they will expand access to dental care. But with the news coming just one day before an election call, are the Liberals trying to kick the New Democrats in the teeth? 

Also: As the Trump administration continues its crackdown on immigration, a growing trend in reverse migration is emerging. The uncertainty at the U.S. border is leading many Latin American migrants to make the difficult trek back home. 

And: For decades, Indigenous women across Canada have been forced or coerced into getting sterilized right after giving birth. You'll hear the story of one woman who went through it, and has now reclaimed her body. 

Plus: An "Elbows Up" rally in Toronto, European countries threaten to pull out of the Ottawa treaty, robots in Japan's retirement homes, and more.

First ministers have their first meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney. Alberta’s premier says Carney and his environment minister are not on the same page when it comes to energy and emissions.

And: Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is pledging to get 350,000 more trade workers trained across the country. He’s calling it his “more boots, less suits” plan.

Also: Hudson’s Bay is trying to save itself – using six stores in Ontario and Quebec. A judge has approved The Bay’s plan to restructure, which will leave those stores open – for now. It will preserve some of the company's 9,364 jobs, but it’s not clear how many.

Plus: International travel chaos after a fire near Heathrow airport in London, country music’s rise in Canada, and more.

Prime Minister Mark Carney will call an election on Sunday, CBC News sources have confirmed. The major party leaders have already started campaign style outings. Carney himself made an announcement about a GST break for first-time house buyers. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre pledged today to create pre-approved permits for major resources or energy projects called "shovel ready zones." But they both need something first – to get elected.

Also: Canada is facing a 100 per cent tariff on canola oil and canola meal, and a 25 per cent duty on aquatic products and pork. But this time, it's not the U.S. imposing the levies. China has slapped tariffs on $3.7 billion worth of Canadian goods.

Also: Hard questions about a hard landing: the Transportation Safety Board has released a preliminary report on a Delta Airlines plane that crashed last month at Pearson Airport in Toronto. The investigation is still ongoing... but a number of lawsuits against the airline have already been filed.

Plus: Gaza fighting ramps up, Trump dismantles department of education, and more.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Canada needs to protect its trade and sovereignty in the face of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats. And he says Trump himself is suggesting Poilievre is the best person to defend Canada’s interests.

The NDP’s fortunes are falling, according to national polling. With likely just days to go before an election call, the party needs to find a way to connect… beyond the popular social media videos of its leader. How does it demonstrate it has the heft for one of the major issues: standing up to Trump?

And: U.S. President Donald Trump had another high-level phone call about ending the war in Ukraine. A day after speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin, he talked to Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy. A conversation both said was friendly and productive. Like Russia, Ukraine has agreed not to target infrastructure for the next 30 days. But Kyiv says Moscow has already violated that agreement.

Also: They used to be envied for their sleek design and innovative technology, but these days Tesla vehicles are taking heat. Getting a lot of unwanted attention because of the politics and actions of the company's CEO, Elon Musk. U.S. officials, and even Trump, are saying it’s domestic terrorism.

Plus: Thousands protest in Turkey, Israel steps up its new offensive in Gaza, and more.

Israel says air strikes in Gaza are going to continue. It’s accusing Hamas of refusing to return hostages, and impeding ceasefire negotiations. Hamas says Israel is changing the terms of the original ceasefire agreement signed two months ago. Israel now says those negotiations will only take place “under fire”. More than 400 people were killed in the strikes early Tuesday.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will set up an early-warning radar system in the Arctic. It will start scanning the skies by 2029. Carney went to Iqaluit to make the announcement. He also pledged more money for housing and help for the region to become less dependent on coal.

Russia’s president has agreed to pause attacks… but only those aimed at energy infrastructure in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin spoke for more than two hours with U.S. President Donald Trump. The two came away from the conversation suggesting a ceasefire was possible… sometime in the future. The pause on targeting infrastructure is temporary – expected to last just 30 days.

They’re home! After nine months in space, astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore have splashed down back on Earth. They left for an eight-day visit, but wound up spending nine months on the International Space Station, studying the effects of long-term space stays on the human body.

Plus: Can Canada get out of the deal to buy F35s? And is the country ready for another pandemic? And more…

Mark Carney is on his first international trip since becoming Canada’s prime minister.

He’s in Europe – trying to shore up support as Canada looks for new trading partners and stronger diplomatic backing for any battles with the U.S. He’s also working to appeal to Canadian voters – with an election expected any day now.

And: Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre says he would cancel the industrial carbon pricing put in by the Liberal government, and instead reward heavy industries that make products with lower emissions. He says the approach should be carrot, and not stick.

Also: What did they learn? Five years after the COVID-19 lockdowns started, we talk to families about how their children were affected. Down: reading and math scores. Up: anxiety and absenteeism.

Plus: Mapping the waters of the Antarctic, charities in Canada are being hurt by tariffs, and more.

Federal party leaders aren't wasting any time diving right in to an issue that defines the lives of many people in this country – the cost of living. The Conservatives have announced their plan to cut income taxes for the middle class, following a similar move from the Liberals. We have reports on what people are looking for, and what the promises will deliver.

And: Israel's army says it has intercepted two projectiles that crossed into the country from Gaza tonight. And officials in Gaza say Israeli strikes have killed at least 65 people in the last 24 hours. More on violence, and the complicated work of returning to a ceasefire.

Also: Backlash to a U.S. plan to send a delegation, including the National Security Advisor, and the vice president’s wife, to Greenland.

Plus: Hyundai announces billions in investment in the U.S., what the federal party leaders are up to, and more.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre says he won the leadership race fair and square. Poilievre is responding to allegations the Indian government tried to interfere in the process – in his favour. Even if true, there is no evidence Poilievre was aware it was happening. Poilievre himself today pointed a finger at Liberal leader Mark Carney – saying that when Carney was an advisor to the government, he had secret talks with the deputy governor of China’s central bank.

And: The two biggest parties in this campaign are trying to lure voters who want to buy homes with incentives, and tax breaks.

Also: U.S. national and international security are in question after a journalist was mistakenly added to a text chat about plans to bomb targets in Yemen.

Plus: Where the leaders are, U.S. brokers a Black Sea deal for Ukraine and Russia, what happens to data if 23andMe goes bankrupt, and more.

U.S. President Donald Trump announces a 25 per cent tariff on finished automobiles - starting next week. Canada sends more than 90 per cent of the cars and trucks it manufactures to the U.S. And the move could have a major impact – on an industry already struggling with uncertainty.

The major parties are making their pitches to seniors – a demographic that is most likely to vote. Many seniors are now working into their 70s and 80s. The Conservatives are offering to let them earn up to $34,000 tax free, and keep their savings in RRSPs until the age of 73 (up from 71). The NDP is proposing to help those with lower incomes, which includes many seniors. One plan – eliminating GST on essentials such as energy, internet and mobile phone bills.

And: Alberta premier Danielle Smith has thrown herself into the federal election campaign. She’s defending her approach to the U.S. tariff threats. The premier is heading to the U.S. to speak at a fundraiser with a right-wing podcaster who has been critical of Canada. Smith also lashed out at those who are criticizing her.

Also: U.S. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz says he initiated the group chat heard ‘round the world. The Atlantic magazine has now released what it says are full transcripts of a group chat about plans to bomb Houthi targets in Yemen. The White House is insisting none of the information was classified. Democrats are accusing them of lying to the country.

Plus: Mashkode Bizhiki'ikwe, also known as Buffalo Woman, is identified, HBC workers denied severance while senior managers get bonuses, Liberal Leader Mark Carney has been under pressure for his past life, Palestinians in Gaza protest against Hamas and more.
