    Louise Arbour will be Canada's next Governor General. She is an accomplished jurist – having served as a Supreme Court Justice, and as chief prosecutor of the International War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague. We have more on her career, and on how she plans to tackle her new duties.

    And: An Ontario couple has been found guilty in the first-degree murder of a 12-year-old boy who was in their care. They’re also guilty of the torture and confinement of his younger brother. The case raised questions about the systems that are supposed to protect vulnerable children in care.

    Also: Heat records are being smashed across B.C. And a shrinking snowpack is elevating wildfire risk, and even threatening the region's water supply.

    Iran tensions, hantavirus deaths, sauna raves, and more

    04/05/2026 | 26 mins.
    The U.S. and Iran are once again trading shots. Neither side has declared an end to the ceasefire, but there has been new fighting in some parts of the Gulf Region. The trigger appears to be U.S. attempts to escort ships out of the Strait of Hormuz.

    And: About 150 people, including four Canadians, have been stuck on a cruise ship amid a suspected hantavirus outbreak. Three people are dead, and others became sick on board the ship, which is being held off the coast of West Africa. Only two cases have been officially confirmed. Hantavirus is a respiratory illness, and spreads when particles from rodent droppings become airborne. It does not transfer easily between humans.

    Also: No alcohol, but lots of music, and lots of steam. Sauna raves are gaining momentum in some Canadian cities.

    Plus: Hundreds of thousands of Albertans sign a petition calling for a referendum on separation, Ottawa unveils measures to help some industries hit hard by U.S. tariffs, flood mapping failures, and more.

    03/05/2026 | 30 mins.
    Today is World Press Freedom Day, and a new study is exposing troubling trends eroding journalists work around the world. More and more journalists have become targets of kidnapping, arbitrary detention and killings. And the troubles are not just in authoritarian or war-torn countries.

    Also: They came from Latin America, hoping to find safety and security in the United States. They never expected to end up in the Democratic Republic of Congo. But that's what happened to 15 men and women from Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, after they were deported by U.S. authorities. They say they want to leave, and many Congolese officials want the same.

    And: For Canadian sports fans, the hopes of the entire country now rest on the shoulders of two teams. The Toronto Raptors and The Montreal Canadiens.

    Spirit airlines shuts down, One year searching for two Nova Scotia children, Banksy's newest art piece, and more

    02/05/2026 | 28 mins.
    After more than three decades in the skies, Spirit Airlines is shutting down. The low-cost carrier failed to secure a government bailout in the U.S. amid surging jet fuel costs. It's a blow for Canadians who rely on the bright yellow planes for affordable cross border travel. And the rising fuel prices could put pressure on other budget airlines.

    Also: It's been one year since anyone has seen Lilly and Jack Sullivan. The young siblings disappeared from their rural Nova Scotia home, setting off a series of extensive searches through dense woods. And this week, Lilly and Jack's loved ones returned to the forest, desperate to find them.

    And: In London, A large statue - erected under cover of darkness - is turning heads. It's the latest stunt from the elusive street artist Banksy. And the statue's satirical message has Londoners talking.

    Plus: Burmese refugees in Thailand, QR code scams in Toronto, and more

    Airline fines, pipeline politics, bad allergy season, and more

    01/05/2026 | 27 mins.
    Ottawa is raising fines for airlines that repeatedly violate passengers’ rights. But advocates for those passengers question whether a $1 million penalty will stop bad behaviour. They say the key is in enforcement.

    And: A new cross-border oil pipeline could mean more jobs, and more money here in Canada. It could also mean tying Canada more closely to the U.S., just when the federal government has said it’s time to pull away.

    Also: Sneezing, sniffling, scratching? You might be able to blame climate change. Scientists say it’s making allergy season worse.

    Plus: Weather prediction markets, B.C. health cuts, U.S./Iran war politics, Liberals use majority on committees, and more.
