In this acclaimed new production of Anna Karenina, the National Ballet of Canada asks, what is fair in love and society? Renowned choreographer Christian Spook adapts Tolstoy's epic novel to dance in a spectacular work complete with lush costumes, cinematic projections, and a glorious curated score, featuring the music of Rachmaninoff.

Engines, steering wheels, door hinges,

those are just a few of the auto parts that are subject to a 25% import tax in the U.S. Those tariffs came into effect on Saturday. Canadian parts are exempt if they can prove enough US content. Chris Reyes reports from New York. Most auto parts coming into the US will be slapped with a 25% tariff. Those parts come from all over the world, including Canada. In an interview earlier this week, Ford's CEO Jim Farley said his company can't put out an entirely made-in-the-USA car.

To keep it competitive and affordable compared to companies that import, we have to import certain parts. For now, Canadian auto part imports are exempt under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico free trade agreement. Still questions abound about how to comply with President Donald Trump's new round of levies says Christian Bravo, a business analytics professor at Western University. You have to go through a process in order to get them to be compliant. It's not automatic. You need to actually go and certify that there is a certain percentage of North American

made parts. Chris Reyes, CBC News, New York. There's a new premier designate in Canada's easternmost province. And in first place, with 77.48% of the vote, John Hogan. Please join me in congratulating the new leader of the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador and the next Premier of our province. The Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador chose former Health Minister John Hogan to be its next leader and the province's next Premier.

He told his supporters he knows people are worried about the relationship with the U.S. affordability and the province's health care system, and he promised to give that job everything he's got. Hogan will succeed Andrew Furey who surprised many when he announced his resignation earlier this year. An emergency alert has been issued for two missing children in Nova Scotia. Six-year-old Lily Sullivan and four-year-old Jack Sullivan went missing on Friday morning. Sally Rice with Nova Scotia RCMP says the search has been tough and will resume on Sunday. I would say that obviously any children would have challenges, especially this terrain, right? It's challenging enough for the people that we have on the ground here. More than a hundred

searchers are scorning an area in Pictou County. Two helicopters and a drone are also part of the search. A vocal minority of Albertans want their promise to break up with Canada. They held a rally outside the legislature in Edmonton on Saturday. At the moment it's highly unlikely they'll get their wish, but the provincial government did just make it easier to put questions like separation to a vote. Paige Parsons explains. Hundreds gathered on the steps of the Alberta legislature for a rally calling for Alberta to separate from Canada.

Jeevan Mangat was one of the organizers. So we wish to be in charge as Albertans of our own nation. Premier Daniel Smith says an initial call with Prime Minister Mark Carney went well. It also introduced legislation to make it easier for citizens to ask for a referendum about Alberta separating from the rest of Canada. A recent poll found only 25% of Albertans support the idea of separatism, but First Nations leaders were swift to react to the proposed referendum legislation. Sheldon Sunshine is the chief of Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation.

At this point, with the level of disregard for our people, nothing is off the table. We will do what we have to to protect our people and protect our land. Paige Parsons, CBC News, Edmonton. In the NHL playoffs, it'll be do or die for the Winnipeg Jets when they face the St. Louis Blues in game seven on Sunday night. Jets forward Morgan Barron says the team is looking forward to the challenge. You know these game sevens are kind of the moments you grow up watching on TV and dreaming about playing in them so yeah we're all really excited about it and I think it's a good opportunity for us.

The Jets played game six without top center Mark Shieffley. He skated on Saturday and it will be a game time decision. And that is Your World Is Sour. Remember you can listen to us wherever you get your podcasts updated every hour seven days a week. For CBC News, I'm Neal Kumar.
