national.ballet.ca From CBC News the world this hour. I'm Neil Herland I spoke to him yesterday couldn't have been nicer US President Donald Trump says he Congratulated Prime Minister Mark Carney on his election victory. He says Carney will come to the White House within the next week for further economic talks and he says the Prime Minister is looking to make a deal. Meantime, Carney is putting together his plan and his new team in Ottawa. After winning this week's federal election, Tom Perry reports.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and his team meeting, talking and laying out priorities. Carney campaigned on a promise of protecting Canada's economy and sovereignty from the U.S., but he also pledged to break down internal trade barriers, boost home building and work on a national energy corridor which could include new pipelines. Much of that will require legislation, including a federal budget. Carney will need the support of other parties to enact his government's agenda. Dominic LeBlanc, Carney's Minister of International Trade and Intergovernmental Affairs, says he's encouraged by some of what he's heard. Mr. Poliev's message was that the Conservative Party will work to ensure that the Canadian economy and Canadian workers are protected from the threat of tariffs. That's exactly what Mr. Carney

has been saying. The Liberals will have other potential partners, the Bloc Québécois and what's left of the NDP. Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa. Well after losing his seat, Conservative leader Pierre Polyev is coming up with a plan for leading his party from outside parliament. Cameron Macintosh has more. I think he can. Re-elected Nova Scotia Conservative MP Chris D'Entremont says he thinks Conservative leader Pierre Polyev can hang on. I think we really have to sit down again as caucus and find out exactly what the next

plan is. Sources say while there are internal criticisms of the campaign, Poliev is also being credited for picking up seats, particularly in Ontario. Andrew Lawton is a Conservative MP-elect in London, Ontario. But we also saw a significant increase in support in areas, demographic areas that have never gone conservative. But without a seat, Poliev can't serve as the official opposition leader in the House of Commons.

To get back to parliament, he'll have to get a conservative MP to step down. But that can't happen until he or she has been in the position for 30 days. Then Poliev would have to win a by-election. The prime minister has up to six months after an MP resigns to call one. Parliament will resume just weeks from now. Cameron McIntosh, CBC News, Ottawa. Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris gave a speech tonight in San Francisco, her first major talk since losing the 2024 U.S. presidential vote, and she took aim at the Trump White House.

We are living in a moment when the checks and balances upon which we have historically relied have begun to buckle. Harris also criticized Trump's tariffs. She says they're clearly inviting recession. Harris was born in California, but spent her high school years in Montreal. A politician in Kenya was shot dead tonight in the capital Nairobi. Charles Were was a member of parliament who sat in the opposition benches. Dunaid Mohammed is a fellow MP. We were with him today in parliament as she said

the whole afternoon and he left I think barely 30 minutes before he met his death. So we would like to ask the police to investigate this matter thoroughly and share with Kenyans as fast as possible what happened to our colleague. The gunman escaped on motorcycle. Police believe it was a targeted shooting. Now to the Stanley Cup playoffs. it was a targeted shooting. Now to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Washington Capitals eliminated the Montreal Canadiens tonight in game five of their first round series, final score 4-1. Meantime, the Winnipeg Jets are playing the St. Louis Blues right now in their game five. The Jets are ahead 4-2 in the third period. That series is tied at two games a piece. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Neal Hurland.
