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.

Liberal leader Mark Carney is apologizing to one of his own candidates who is a survivor of one of the worst tragedies in Quebec history, the Ecole Polytechnique massacre.

The apology comes after Carney mistakenly said yesterday that the shooting took place at Concordia University. Rafi Boujikhanian has more. I think that as a man, as a Canadian, Marc Carney was certainly struck by what happened in 1989, says Nathalie Prevot. The gun control advocate survived a massacre which targeted women, killing 14 of them at Montreal's École Polytechnique that year.

She's now running for Cardiff Liberals on Montreal's south shore, and is unconcerned he mispronounced her name during the speech and mistook Polytechnique for Concordia University, the scene of a different mass shooting years later. But the Bloc Québécois is hoping Quebecers are bothered by it. Monsieur Carnier a dit, it won't be me. Leader Yves-François Blanchet says Carnier is admitting he won't speak up for Quebec and keeps making mistakes in French. And he will no doubt keep pointing those out to Quebecers,

as he hopes to overtake Carney in voting intentions among one of the country's most fickle electorates. Rafi Boudukhan, YonCBC News, Vaudreuil d'Orient, Quebec. Now to the NDP and Conservative leaders, who both appeared at rallies last night in Hamilton, Ontario, looking for votes from the city's steelworkers. Alexander Silberman has more. Who's ready to make some steel? Conservative leader Pierre Poliev making his pitch

to a packed crowd of voters at a Hamilton factory. The Ontario city is home to many union jobs and has traditionally leaned NDP. The conservatives are hoping to change that, pledging to prioritize blue collar workers. At the same time across the city from Poliev's rally, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh held his own event. If you believe you deserve a home that's in your budget that you can afford, vote NDP! Both parties are emphasizing housing issues.

It's a lot to expect for any one policy to solve the crisis. Paul Kershaw is a policy professor at the University of British Columbia. We need to really be careful about anyone who's just saying building more homes is going to be the solution to generational problems. The housing crunch is expected to continue to be a top issue in southern Ontario. Alexander Silberman, CBC News, Ottawa. Winnipack police have scheduled an update today on their investigation into the death of an unidentified woman slain by convicted serial killer Jeremy Skibitzky. Police have provided few details about the young Indigenous victim who was given the name Buffalo Woman by a group of Indigenous grandmothers. Skibitzky's

murder trial last year heard that he met the woman outside a homeless shelter sometime in March of 2022. Beijing's ambassador to Canada is saying that China would be willing to consider negotiating a free trade deal with Ottawa. But Ambassador Wang Di says free trade talks would require a political willingness to change policies that have strained the relationship between the two countries. Among other things, Canada has restricted the Chinese telecom company Huawei from its 5G network. Danish officials are responding with alarm to the news that US Vice President JD Vance has announced he'll be joining his wife on a visit this

week to Greenland. Lars Christian Brask is a Danish MP and the country's deputy speaker. Lars Christian Brask, MP, Greenland The amount of people and the people with stars on the shoulders that arrive in Greenland is sort of almost intimidating and to some extent a provocation and interference with the Danish and Greenlandic issues. Stephen Pletka Brask points out that Vance, as a senior U.S. government official, was never formally invited to visit the Danish territory. All this follows ongoing musings from President Donald Trump about America taking over Greenland. Also on this week's trip with JD Vance will be National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.
