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.

Canada's new Liberal leader is taking aim at two targets. Mark Carney is criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump and Conservative leader Pierre Poliev.

Carney mentioned both of them during his victory speech last night after winning nearly 86% of his party's votes. Donald Trump is trying to weaken our economy but there's someone else who if he succeeds will weaken our economy. It's Pierre Poliev. Pierre Poliev just doesn't get it. Carney beat Christia Freeland, Carina Gould, and Frank Baylis, even though he has never been elected to parliament. The election of a new liberal leader also marks the end of Justin Trudeau's tenure. The outgoing prime minister spoke about his legacy at the Liberal Convention Sunday. These past 10 years have been challenging.

Crisis after crisis has been thrown at Canadians. But through every crisis, Canadians have shown who they are. We've pulled together. We've stood up for each other. And every single time, we've emerged even stronger. Carney will become prime minister after being sworn in by the governor general. Last week Trudeau said he expects the transition to happen in the coming days or week. And Canada's official opposition is reacting to Carney's win.

On the platform ex-conservative leader Pierre Poliev says liberals are trying to trick Canadians into electing them for a fourth term by replacing Trudeau with his economic adviser Mark Carney. Poliev also criticized Carney at a rally on Sunday before the liberals announced their new leader. Donald Trump will have a big smile on his face as he exploits all of Carney's many conflicts to attack Canadian workers and Canadian jobs, but we conservatives won't let either of them do it. We will put Canada first. Meantime, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh congratulated Carney on his victory.

The gift card industry is estimated to be worth more than $11 billion in Canada, but critics say there's little oversight when things go wrong. Ethel Musa has more. I said the receipt is there. It says it's activated. Joan Ohn says she was shocked to learn the $50 gift card she bought at Shoppers Drug Mart last October was completely empty. Experts say it was likely fraudsters who steal gift cards from stores to get the card's numbers

and pin codes. They then place them back in the store for unsuspecting customers to load with money. And once you activate it, they have the ability to go in and drain the funds from that card. Jeff Horncastle with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre says people need to inspect their gift cards carefully to see if the packaging has been tampered with. Gift card scams are also a major problem in the U.S. where law enforcement officials have linked some of it to Chinese organized crime groups. After GoPublic contacted Shoppers Drug Mart, it offered to compensate owns for her lost funds. The company says its employees are trained to recognize the signs of gift card tampering. It'll move CBC News to Toronto.

And finally Alberta has won this year's Canadian men's curling championship. Brad Jacobs, here we go. Got it and he does. From the brink of elimination to Briar champion, Brad Jacobs. Jacobs is the winner of the Montana's Briar and Kelowna BC. He beat Manitoba's Matt Dunstone 5-3 last night, his second Briar title, but the last time he won was 2013. It's relieving. It's been too long since I've won this championship. I've only got two now, but I said earlier in the week that it would take a lot of pressure off the rest of my career. I hope that's the case. The Alberta team will represent Canada at the World Championship

starting March 29th in Moosejaw, Saskatchewan. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Neal Herland.
