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.

I'm Khalil Hassan Ali. Sources tell CBC News the federal election will be held on April 28th. Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to go to Rideau Hall tomorrow to ask the Governor-General

to dissolve parliament and call an election. This time, election integrity will be front and centre. US President Donald Trump says conservative leader Pierre Poliev was leading in the polls until he quote, got involved. Trump has said he'd rather deal with a liberal leader. Prime Minister Mark Carney says he trusts Canadians to make the right choice.

No foreign leader is going to determine who's best. One of the factors is going to be, in my judgment, who is going to be best for Canada in the negotiations with the Americans, which will come. But they're, from my perspective, they're not going to come until we get the respect we deserve as a sovereign nation. By the way, this is not a high bar. Carney has released details of a relief plan for those affected by the terror of war. He's promising to make it easier to get employment insurance and to allow companies to defer corporate income

tax payments. The federal government is also expanding the dental care plan. Kamal Khera is the new federal health minister. Starting in May, eligible adults between the ages of 18 and 64 can begin applying for coverage through the Canadian dental care plan and for those eligible coverage under the plan could begin as early as June 1st. The plan is open to any Canadians with a household income under $90,000 and no private insurance. Applications will be available in three stages based on age. Kamal says the average savings for eligible families is $870 a year.

After almost a decade as the liberal candidate for the riding of Nepean just outside Ottawa, Chandra Arya was told the party would not be signing off on his nomination. It says the decision was made after new information came to light. Luke Turjan teaches politics at the University of Ottawa. He says it's not surprising. In this specific case, it's perhaps less surprising because we knew this candidacy to be the leader of the party had been rejected. It wasn't clear exactly why it had been rejected, but there was a sense that there was a certain uneasiness in the party about his presence in the caucus. There had been some controversy about some of his actions over the last few years and perhaps with that regard, it's not that surprising.

Terjean speculated Prime Minister Mark Carney could run in the solidly liberal riding.

It is over, it is over, it is over in the second round. George Foreman is the heavyweight champion of the world. Foreman was a two-time world heavyweight champion, Olympic gold medalist, and entrepreneur. In 1973 he defeated the then undefeated Joe Frazier, but in the famous Rumble in the Jungle in Congo, formerly known as Zaire in 1974, he lost to Muhammad Ali. He also lent his name to the famous Foreman Grill, which sold more than 100 million units worldwide.

George Foreman was 76 years old. That's the World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Kaliyah Hassanali.
