After meeting with Premiers and territorial leaders last night, Liberal leader Mark Carney says that he wants to table legislation to eliminate inter-provincial trade barriers by July 1st, Canada Day. But there's not the not so small matter of a federal election expected to be called tomorrow. The host of the House, Catherine Cullen, looks at the national parties challenging the Liberals in this race. You don't know what's going to happen in a campaign but

in some ways I think we benefit a little bit in this one from being underestimated. NDP senior advisor Anne McGrath has plenty of optimism despite her party's decline in the polls since Mark Carney became liberal leader. We have a seasoned leader who's a very good campaigner. All party leaders will be campaigning in the midst of a trade war. Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer says Donald Trump will form the ballot question, at least in part. I believe that this election is going to be decided by who can stand up to the threats

and address the still raging cost of living crisis. While Trump has clearly changed the political dynamics and helped bring Carney to power, Scheer is still focused on some issues that have driven the Conservative vision for years. If Canadians really want relief from the carbon tax forever, the choice is the Conservative Party. This despite Carney killing the consumer carbon tax as his first act of governing. Catherine Cullen, CBC News, Ottawa. The Trump administration is taking another step to crack down on immigration. It's revoking the temporary legal status for more than half a million people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua,

and Venezuela. They're in the country on a Biden area program designed to reduce illegal migration in the US. Five hundred thirty thousand have been told to leave within the next thirty days or risk arrest and deportation. Another violent night in Turkey's largest city. Thousands of people have been demonstrating across the country over the arrest of Istanbul's mayor.

The government accuses him of corruption. His supporters say it's politically motivated. Dorian Jones reports from Istanbul. This morning there have been the mass arrests of protesters throughout the country. In Turkey's main cities, police have been carrying out dawn raids. This follows last night's demonstrations, which have been the largest so far since the arrest of the Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Ememoglu. In Istanbul, organizers claim over 300,000 people attended last night's demonstration.

Across the city, Istanbul neighbourhoods, similar smaller protests were being held, as in many of Turkey's main cities and towns all across the country. It does appear that the protests are building in momentum, despite the strongest condemnation by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan last night, who said the judiciary process has to be respected and condemn the protesters as street terrorists and warned they will not be tolerated. Dorian Jones for CBC News, Istanbul. And boxer George Foreman has passed away.

Foreman was considered one of the greatest heavyweights of all time as well as an accomplished entrepreneur. Steve Futterman looks back on the career of the man known as Big George. It was a life with several distinct chapters. Chapter one was the rise of George Foreman. He won his first 37 fights. Number 38 would be against Joe Frazier. Frazier was the favorite, but it was no contest. Just one year later, though, came the downfall, a match against an aging Muhammad Ali. Foreman was the favorite, but Ali using what he called a rope-a-dope defense, let Foreman hit him almost at will. Foreman exhausted himself, and Ali shocked the world, knocking

Foreman out. He retired, then became a preacher. Then the most remarkable chapter, the comeback. After not fighting for 10 years, Foreman now greatly overweight, returned to the ring. And in 1994, at age 45, suddenly he was champion again. Away from the ring, Foreman became famous to non-sports fans and made millions with his George Foreman electric grill. Steve Futterman for CBC News, Los Angeles. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Kate Rutherford.
