The LetThem Theory will teach you how to stop wasting your energy on what you can't control and start focusing on what truly matters. You, your happiness, your goals, your life.

The Let-Them Theory is about freedom. Two simple words, let them, will free you from the burden of trying to manage other people. And when you stop obsessing over what other people think, say, or do,

you finally have the energy to focus on your own life. You stop reacting and you start living.

On the election schedule today, Liberal leader Mark Carney is in Windsor, Ontario, a city on the front line of Canada's trade war with the United States. As well, the NDP's Jagmeet Singh is in Hamilton and Conservative leader Pierre Polyev is in Quebec City, both campaigning for the senior vote. Janice McGregor has more. Pierre Polyev's new policy this morning is focused on letting seniors that are still

earning keep more of what they make, up to $34,000 a year if a Conservative government is elected. When the various credits are factored in, that's an increase of about 10 grand. Conservatives would also allow seniors to keep their savings sheltered in an RRSP until age 73. That's up from age 71. Again, something that helps seniors who are still working in saving. Jagmeet Singh is visiting a senior's facility in Hamilton today. New Democrats portray liberal actions so far as inadequate to protect seniors, and they portray conservatives as likely to bring cuts.

And Poliev yesterday had to go on the defense of trying to reassure people that no one who's now benefiting from recent programs like dental care or pharmacare are going to lose by voting conservative. Janice McGregor, CBC News, Ottawa. 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 Sampson reports. We're not going to leave anybody behind. Assembly of Manitoba Chief's 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 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. Just one day after the United States announced separate ceasefire understandings with Russia and Ukraine, The drone strikes from both sides continue. Anna Cunningham has more. From the Kremlin, accusations that Kiev tried to attack civilian Russian energy infrastructure, a gas storage facility in Russian-occupied Crimea, and other sites in Russia's Kursk

and Bryansk regions. Kiev says Russia fired more than 100 drones on Ukraine overnight. In Riyadh, Ukraine's defence minister Rustam Umarov held out hope. We are ready to organise a separate meeting on technical level as well to start working on mechanisms of implementation. But what the US announcement missed out was the fine print, the Kremlin's extra demand. Moscow says a naval ceasefire will only come into force after a number of sanctions against its food and fertiliser trade are lifted. And that is not something Kyiv supports, says Ukraine's

Deputy Foreign Minister Mariana Betsa. We can already see Russia attempting to manipulate and condition agreement. Ukraine is pushing for further sanctions on Russia. Anna Cunningham, CBC News, London. Now to South Korea and the world's latest wildfire emergency. Wind-driven wildfires across the country this week have killed at least 24 people and destroyed more than 200 buildings. Among those killed was a pilot who died after his firefighting helicopter crashed into a ravine. South Korea's acting president Han

Duk-so says the fires, most of which are still out of control, are by far the most deadly and the most damaging in the country's history. And that is A World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
