From CDC News, the world this hour. I'm Gina Louise Phillips. Canada's new liberal

leader is taking aim at two targets. Mark Carney, after winning nearly 86% of his party's votes, he jumped right into criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump and conservative leader Pierre Polyev during his victory speech. Donald Trump is trying to weaken our economy, but there's someone else who, if he succeeds, will weaken our economy. It's Pierre Apollieu. Pierre Apollieu just doesn't get him. Carney beat Krista Freeland, Karina Gould and Frank Baylis, even though he has never been elected to Parliament. The election of a new Liberal leader marks the end of Justin Trudeau's tenure.

The outgoing Prime Minister spoke about his legacy at the Liberal Convention on 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. The election of a new Liberal leader marks the end of Justin Trudeau's tenure. Carney will become Prime Minister after being sworn in by the governor general. An election must come by October, but is expected much sooner. Trudeau said he sees the transition happening in,

quote, the coming days or week. As a seemingly final act, the outgoing prime minister is leaving his successor with blueprints for a radical proposal, reform the RCMP. In an exclusive interview with CBC News, Trudeau says the Mounties should transition out of local policing and focus solely on major crimes. Catherine Tunney has more. Mounties always get their man. I mean this idea of the Mounties as as something that is iconic and core to who Canada is.

Iconic but in the Prime Minister's view overworked and struggling. In some of his final hours in office Trudeau sat down with CBC News arguing for a radical shift in how the RCMP operates. It's time he says for the Mounties to end local frontline policing in provinces across the country and shift its focus nationally to some of the most serious crimes in Canada like terrorism, foreign interference and organized crime. Calls to reform the RCMP have been building for years, perhaps never as intense as after the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia. Report after report have suggested the RCMP is too big, its focus too split to best serve Canadians.

Catherine Tunney, CBC News, Ottawa. And now to the U.S. The president is feeling confident ahead of U.S. brokered talks between Ukraine and Russia. Let's see what happens with the whole Russia-Ukraine thing. I think you're going to have eventually and maybe not in the distant future, you can have some pretty good results coming out of Saudi Arabia this week." Leaders are en route ahead of those talks tomorrow. The meeting is meant to lead to a deal between Ukraine and Russia that would end the war.

There is also hope it will smooth out relations between the US and Ukraine after last month's tense White House meeting. 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 in Kelowna BC. He beat Manitoba's Matt Dunstone 5-3 last night, his second Briar title. 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 Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Thanks for listening, I'm Gina Louise-Villas.
