The following is advertiser content from Audible. Take charge of your life and reclaim your power with podcaster and number one best-selling author Mel Robbins, The Let Them Theory, your guide to breaking free from the opinions, drama, and judgments of others. Listen to a sample now. Stop wasting your life on things you can't control. If you're struggling to change your life, achieve your goals, or just feel a little happier, I need you to hear this. The problem isn't you. The problem is the power you unknowingly give to other people. We all do it, often without realizing it. You make the mistake of thinking that if you just say the right thing, then everyone will be satisfied. If you bend over backwards, maybe your spouse won't be so disappointed all the time. If you're friendly enough at work, maybe your

coworkers will like you more. And if you keep the peace, maybe your family, they'll stop judging you. I know this because I've lived it.

The RCMP says remains found inside a Winnipeg area landfill last week are those of a female victim who was murdered by a serial killer. The remains of Morgan Harris were positively identified.

The search for her remains began in December, along with another missing indigenous woman, Mercedes Myron. Authorities confirm other remains were also recovered at the landfill, but did not confirm their identity. Harris and Myron were two of four women murdered by convicted killer Jeremy Skibitzky in 2022. Canada's oldest company has filed for creditor protection and it's citing the trade tensions as one of the reasons. Hudson's Bay says it intends to restructure.

The department store company says it has also been under pressure from lower consumer spending and less in-person shopping. The company dates back to 1670 and was part of Canada's earliest history as a country. Donald Trump appears ready to milk Canada's dairy industry. It along with lumber are his latest tariff targets. Julia Wong tells us how the threats got farmers churning. It's stressful I guess because we don't really know where we're going. It's a topsy-turvy time for Marcus Schnegg. The Quebec dairy farmer is facing

uncertainty after comments from US President Donald Trump. In Canada you know they're charging us over 200% for dairy products. He wants to hit back with a comparable tariff unless Canada drops its tariff. That has Schnegg on edge. He wants to go after supply management. Supply management is how Canada controls its dairy supply, through production and pricing measures meant to create stability in Canada's market. Jodie Nurse, who studies supply management at McGill University, says Trump is misrepresenting Canada's tariff.

Those tariffs are only in addition to quantities of product that are coming into the country beyond the agreed amount. Nurse says Canada should have less reliance on the United States. Julia Wong, CBC News, Edmonton. From entire industries to individual businesses, it's a struggle right now. The new and volatile conditions of cross-border trade are worrying. For one Nova Scotia paper mill, the pause on the 25 percent tariffs on their product is welcome, but it doesn't ease the stress. Kayla Hounsell has the story. Fort Hawksbury Paper exports 93 percent of its

product to the United States. Because we're so acutely exposed it's a clear risk. Though grateful for the temporary pause, mill manager Mike Hardery says the uncertainty remains. And he says, like many Canadians, he feels anxious and betrayed by the U.S. government. Located on the southern end of Cape Breton Island, the mill directly employs 325 people and contracts 900 more. It's fair to say that this is a community that is bracing for impact. Local politician Lois Landry says because the mill is such a major employer, if it's in trouble the whole area is in trouble.

Hardery, who has worked at the mill more than 30 years, says there is a Canadian market but it's too small. Europe has a large market but it's already suffering from oversupply. Kayla Hounsell, CBC News, Point Tupper, Nova Scotia. Authorities say actor Gene Hackman died of heart disease in his Santa Fe home. Dr. Heather Jarrell is New Mexico's chief medical examiner and says the 95-year-old also showed signs of advanced Alzheimer's disease. He was in a very poor state of health.

He had significant heart disease, and I think ultimately that is what resulted in his death. I did see evidence of very poor kidney function, and I think he died as a result of his heart disease with Alzheimer's being that contributing factor. Health officials believe Hackman died about a week after his 65-year-old wife, an autopsy revealed she died of hantavirus, a rare but potentially fatal disease spread by infected rodent droppings. The bodies were discovered in the couple's home last month. And that is your World This Hour.
