From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Neil Herland. Winnipeg police are expected to make an announcement today about a woman who was murdered by a serial killer back in 2022. A woman whose identity has been unknown for years. Sam Sampson has more. We're not going to leave anybody behind. Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Grand Chief Kyra Wilson isn't giving up until every

woman is found. Her community of Long Plain First Nation has been mourning the loss of two women murdered by a serial killer in 2022, Morgan Harris and Mercedes Myron. Another woman, Rebecca Contour, was murdered by the same man. Her remains were found that year. But those of Harris and Myron were just recovered in a landfill near Winnipeg this month. A fourth woman has yet to be found. The community gave her a name.

Moshkade Bishake Ikwe Iban, or Buffalo Woman. The landfill search was heavily debated. Police and the province said it wasn't safe nor feasible. But under new provincial leadership, the search started last December. Manitoba Premier Wab Kanu. It's the right thing that we were able to return these women to their families so they can be memorialized in a proper way. The hope is today, more information could lead to answers for an unknown family.

Sam Sampson, CBC News, Winnipeg. The Montreal massacre at École Polytechnique is one of the worst mass killings in Canadian history. In 1989, a gunman murdered 14 women at the engineering school, but Liberal leader Mark Carney named the wrong school yesterday on the campaign trail. Out of the tragedy of the shootings in Concordia. Carney also messed up the name of his own liberal candidate who was shot and survived the massacre. He later apologized.

The Bloc Québécois criticized Carney, calling the tragedy one of the saddest, most dramatic wounds in the history of Quebec. Now to northern Alberta, where oil and gas is top of mind for many voters during this election. Julia Wong reports from Fort McMurray. There's a buzz in the air as hundreds of people pack the annual Fort McMurray job fair. Like Laura Lee Hartle, she's looking for work in oil and gas, also thinking about the upcoming election.

And these issues are top of mind. Job opportunities, housing. For job seeker Norman Savoy, issues such as immigration and taxes are high on his list, along with this. I'd like to see more pipeline come around. Fort McMurray is an oil and gas town. Lively hoods depend on it. Trevor Bowe is the president of Inner City Diesel,

an environmental dewatering and tailings management company. What the leaders say will affect his business. Emissions reduction policies, carbon pricing. As the trade war drags on, Bo says he's looking for a specific quality in the next prime minister. Turbulent times right now and how they navigate those unsteady waters is going to be important to Canadians. And to Fort McMurray,

as Canada's energy sector reckons with how it can rely less on the U.S. Julia Wong, CBC News, Fort McMurray, Alberta. Protests against the electric car company Tesla and its chief executive Elon Musgar growing. Katie Nicholson explores how it might impact the Canadian election. Never 51. Melissa Getz has never organized a political protest in her life. Now she's even making signs for her Tesla takedown event in Oakville. I needed to put that into action in some way instead of being bombarded by the media coming

out of the states. She's not alone. Many with signs pushing back against American threats of annexation. It's a bit difficult to tell at this point how it is going to impact the election. University of Western Ontario sociology professor Howard Ramos says Tesla takedown protests here serve as a reminder of the politics south of the border. I can imagine the Liberals will try and make as many linkages as they can to Musk and Trump with the Conservatives in Canada.

But while hashtag movements like Tesla tak Down can quickly become global, Ramos says it's hard to tell how long they remain influential. What is clear, it's influenced Alyssa Goetz and her small band of protesters. Kitty Nicholson, CBC News, Oakville, Ontario. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Neal Herland.
