Starting point is 00:00:00 The following is advertiser content from Audible.

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.
Starting point is 00:00:28 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.

Starting point is 00:01:11 I'm Joe Cummings. First to the election campaign and Liberal leader Mark Carney. He is in Windsor, Ontario this morning, focusing on U.S. tariffs and the region's economic future, which was the same issue on the agenda last night as the NDP and Conservative leaders campaigned in another anxious Ontario city, Battleground Hamilton. Alexander Zilbermann has more.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Who's ready to make some steel? Conservative leader Pierre Pauliev 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 Pauliev'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.
Starting point is 00:02:13 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. Winnipeg police have scheduled an update today on their investigation into the death of an unidentified woman slain by convicted serial killer Jeremy Skibicki. Up until now, police have offered few details about the indigenous woman who has been given the name Buffalo Woman by members of Winnipeg's indigenous
Starting point is 00:02:54 community. Skibicki's murder trial last year heard that he met the woman outside a homeless shelter sometime in the spring of 2022. Now to Washington where the fallout continues from journalist Jeffrey Goldberg being included in a group chat with senior members of the Trump administration. The security breach, which foreign analysts are calling reckless, has the White House on the defensive. Sarah Lovett has more. There was that fiery Senate Intelligence Committee hearing with Democrats
Starting point is 00:03:23 absolutely ripping into CIA director John Ratcliffe and director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard calling the sharing of plans about attacks on Houthis in Yemen with a journalist, quote, sloppy, careless and incompetent. And you know, Republicans have also spoken out about the leak and about what was discussed, some taking exception to how Europe was talked about when Vice President JD Vance said he didn't want to bail Europe out and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calling it European freeloading. Here's Republican Congressman Pete Sessions. It is a big deal. It's a big deal that they apologize. It's a big deal that they learn. It's
Starting point is 00:04:04 very embarrassing. SOT The administration continues to say zero classified information was shared in the chat. As for Goldberg, he stands by his reporting and says he has the receipts in screen grabs. Sarah Levitt, CBC News, Washington. SOT Meanwhile, Danish officials are responding with alarm to the news that U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance will be joining his wife on a visit this week to Greenland. Lars Christian Brask is a Danish MP and the country's deputy speaker. The amount of people and the people with stars on the shoulders that arrive in Greenland
Starting point is 00:04:38 is sort of almost intimidating and to some extent a provocation, an interference with the Danish and Greenlandic issues. Brass points out that Vance in his role as a senior US government official was never formally invited to visit the Danish territory. This follows ongoing musings from President Donald Trump about the US.S. taking over Greenland. Also on this week's visit will be White House National Security Advisor Mike Walsh.
