Mark Carney is expected to formally announce his campaign to replace Justin Trudeau this Thursday. The former governor of the Bank of Canada appeared on The Daily Show tonight with Jon Stewart. Stewart even joked that Carney was actually announcing his bid on the program. Congratulations on announcing on this program to be the leader. Carney stopped short of confirming that he's running, but he made his pitch clear to become leader of the Liberal Party and Canada's next Prime Minister. I think in a situation like this you need change.

You need to address the economy. We've got an economic crisis because of what Mr. Trump is about to do or saying he's about to do, but we also have challenges in housing, cost of living. The Daily Show airs on the Slice network in this country. Carney also took aim at Canada's Conservative leader. We have Mr. Pauliap, a type of politician who tends to be a lifelong politician. Really? Tend to worship the market.

They've never actually worked in the private sector. Right. Meantime, former finance minister Chrystia Freeland is also expected to announce she's running to lead the Liberals. A formal declaration is expected in the next week. Canada's premiers are bracing for Donald Trump's return to the White House and his threat to impose tariffs on Canadian goods entering the US. As Tom Parry reports, the premiers of Alberta and Ontario are expressing different views on how Canada should respond.

I think we need to be prepared that tariffs are coming. After meeting incoming US President Donald Trump over the weekend, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says Trump's threat of tariffs is real. The federal government says all options are on the table for retaliation, but Smith says Alberta won't stand for any limits on shipments of its oil and gas to the US. They will have a national unity crisis on their hands at the same time as having a crisis with our US trade partners. Ontario Premier Doug Ford says Canada must stand up for its interests and can't rule anything out. We have to use all the tools possible when our country's under attack.

You just don't roll over. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet with premiers this week to discuss just how far his government is prepared to go if Trump makes good on his threat. Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa. Well the winds are picking up again in Los Angeles, threatening any progress in fighting the relentless wildfires. At least 24 people are confirmed dead and nearly as many are reported missing. At least 24 people are confirmed dead, and nearly as many are reported missing. 92,000 people are under evacuation orders,

as the fire threat remains critical, Lindsay Duncombe reports. The call came in just after 10.30 in the morning. A new fire, smoke spotted between Santa Clarita and Acton. Quebec pilot Pascal Duclos rushes into the cockpit of his bright yellow Super Scooper aircraft at the Van Nuys airport. Another mission on a deployment to Los Angeles like no others. We're all pretty tired, exhausted and a little nervous right now. Over the weekend crews made good progress on the two largest fires burning in Los Angeles,

but everyone is worried about what comes next. Santa Ana winds forecast to pick up with gusts up to 112 kilometers an hour. Fear of fire in a city just coming to grips with how much has been lost. More than 12,000 structures, many of them homes, gone. Lindsay Dankom, CBC News, Los Angeles. Israel says it's waiting to hear from the Palestinian militant group Hamas on a possible ceasefire deal in Gaza. Gideon Saar is Israel's foreign minister. He says a deal would include the release of some hostages held by the militants. We see some progress in the negotiations.

Israel wants a hostage deal. Israel is working with our American friends in order to achieve a hostage deal. And soon we will know whether the other side wants the same thing." And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Herland.
