This is Team Canada at its very best. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau meeting with business leaders in Toronto, navigating relations with the United States under Donald Trump. We need to both start thinking tactically and strategically. When Trudeau wrapped up his remarks, reporters were ushered out, but the Prime Minister's words could still be heard. And it is a real thing. The sound sound is faint but the message is clear. Trudeau tells his audience when Trump talks about taking over Canada and making it the 51st state it's the real

thing. There will be no messing with the 49th parallel period. Cabinet members attending the meeting like internal trade minister Anita Anand were quick to declare Canada will never join the US Tom Perry CBC News Ottawa with the threat of tariffs from the US looming Canada is making plans to defend itself one possible strategy That's gaining attention is a new oil pipeline that would run from Western Canada to the East. Sam Sampson reports. You know the world is our oyster. Former Alberta Premier Rachel Notley is part of the Prime Minister's Canada-US relations council. She and other politicians want more Canada-only lines. Part of the conversation is bringing up

scrapped pipeline plans as an energy security solution in the face of potential US tariffs. Notley has floated pipelines in meetings. There's a lot of head nods. People understand that this is a frustrating situation that we're in. I think, you know, some folks are wondering, oh, is this really doable? The United States is by far Canada's biggest oil customer. Most of it comes from Alberta. Now, most pipelines taking crude out of the Prairie province go through or directly to the United States. This system is so intertwined, even with a tariff, Canada would have no choice but to

sell to the U.S. The idea now is to build Canadian pipelines so oil can get to the coasts and sell to other countries. Sam Samson, CBC News, Toronto.

This is the UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk speaking at an emergency session in Geneva. If nothing is done, he says, it's possible that the worst has yet to come for the people of the eastern part of DRC, but also beyond its borders.
