The World This Hour for 2025/03/10 at 09:00 EDT

In Scarborough, there's this fire behind our eyes. A passion in our bellies. It's in the hearts of our neighbors. The eyes of our nurses. And the hands of our doctors. It's what makes Scarborough, Scarborough. In our hospitals, we do more than anyone thought possible. We've less than anyone could imagine.

But it's time to imagine what we can do with more. Join Scarborough Health Network and together, we can turn grit into greatness. Donate at lovescarborough.ca. From CBC News, The World This Hour, I'm Gina Louise Phillips. Mark Carney is waking up this morning as the leader of the Liberal Party

and the Prime Minister-designate. He marked this first step in his political career with a decisive victory. Janice McGregor has more. When Piotr Poliev won the Conservative leadership with 70% of the vote, that was seen as a dominant win. But last night's 86% endorsement for Mark Carney tops even that. An overwhelming mandate that shuts down any talk of division in the ranks. So does the fact that this party is clear about who they're really fighting. As they were gathering, two other rallies were playing out. Conservative leader Pierre Poliev leaned further into his attack lines against Mark Carney. And on Parliament Hill, protesters were voicing their anger at Donald Trump at a

elbows up for Canada rally. The sharpest words in Carney's victory speech spoke to both of them. Pierre Poliev's plan will leave us divided and ready to be conquered. Trudeau's final meeting with his caucus and his cabinet is scheduled for this afternoon. Janice McGregor, CBC News, Ottawa. Mark Carney will become Prime Minister after being sworn in by the Governor General. Outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says that could be within days. As a seemingly final act, Trudeau 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 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. U.S. President Donald Trump is vowing to hit Canada with more tariffs. Levies on Canadian lumber and dairy could happen as early as today. The CBC's Sarah Levitt has more from Washington.

Friday in the Oval Office, Trump said the next target would be Canadian dairy and lumber. Specifically, he'd impose a 250% tariff on dairy products and said that could come Monday, so today. Trump says Canada already does that, but while Canada does have that tariff on certain dairy products, it only kicks in once a threshold is met and the US dairy lobby says that hasn't happened. If things go as planned on the US side we'll be looking at 25% tariffs on Canadian aluminum and steel as of Wednesday and we've already seen some of

the effects in those industries in Canada. There have been layoffs slowing down of production and really a scramble to reorient to other markets. Those industries saying the tariffs will have a devastating effect. Sarah Levitt, CBC News, Washington. A developing situation off the coast of eastern England. A rescue operation is underway after an oil tanker and a cargo ship collided. According to Britain's Coast Guard, lifeboats and a rescue helicopter have been dispatched to the North Sea, along with a Coast Guard

plane and nearby vessels with firefighting capability. There are reports a number of people had abandoned the ships, and the oil tanker is on fire according to the BBC. We'll be watching that.
