The World This Hour for 2025/03/26 at 07:00 EDT

The following is advertiser content from Audible. Tune out everyday stresses and noise with best-selling author Susan Cain's A Quiet Life in 7 Steps and begin your year by learning to live a little more peacefully. Listen to a sample now. Should is a word that can take us away from our truest selves, while the quiet way can lead us back. Of course, we can't blame ourselves for getting lost in life's shoulds. Like, I should go to that party.

I should volunteer for that extra shift. I shouldn't say anything that might rock the boat. But this type of thinking can take us in the wrong direction. And it's especially troublesome when it comes to the pressure that so many of us feel to be leaders. And that's what I want to talk to you about next, the hidden pressures that we're all subject to in our culture to be in charge of something.

I'm Joe Cummings. First to today's campaign schedule and Liberal leader Mark Carney. He's starting his day in Windsor, Ontario, focusing on U.S. tariffs and the jobs at risk in the border city, which was the same issue on the agenda last night as the NDP and Conservative leaders campaigned in another at-risk Ontario community, Battleground Hamilton. Janice McGregor reports. Conservative leader Pierre Polyev has spent the first few days of this campaign on offense going after potential Ontario swing seats currently held by the Liberals, his team organized another jam packed rally on a factory floor in Hamilton last night. Over 4,500 people organizers said standing room only.

Conservatives and New Democrats have appeared this week to be trading union endorsements back and forth. Yesterday, Poliev was touting the support of the Boilermakers and a local plumbing and pipe fitting union. Well, yesterday, Jagmeet Singh appeared with the president of the Amalgamated Transit Union. That's his third major endorsement from a national union. A lot of folks are feeling a lot of stress and they're worried about the uncertainty of the future. People are worried about their jobs. You know, here in Hamilton people are feeling that directly. These early stops in Hamilton won't be the last because they're not just blue-orange

flip seats but they're three-way fights. The red team sometimes prevails here. Janice McGregor, CBC News, Ottawa. Now to Fort McMurray, Alberta, another trade-sensitive area of the country where oil and gas and future markets are top of mind for the region's voters. Julia Wong has more. 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. Livelihoods 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 we can rely less on the U.S. Julia Wong, CBC News, Fort McMurray, Alberta. Winnipeg police have an update scheduled today on their investigation into the murder of

an unidentified indigenous woman killed three years ago by a serial killer. Sam Samson reports. 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 Contois, 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 Kinew. 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. Now to South Korea. Wind-driven wildfires this week have killed at least 24 people and destroyed more than 200 buildings. South Korea's acting president Han Duk-so says the fires are by far the most deadly and most damaging in the country's history, and the majority of the blazes remain out of control. And that is the World This Hour.
