The World This Hour for 2025/05/05 at 09:00 EDT

When a body is discovered 10 miles out to sea, it sparks a mind-blowing police investigation. There's a man living in this address in the name of a deceased. He's one of the most wanted men in the world. This isn't really happening. Officers are finding large sums of money. It's a tale of murder, skullduggery and international intrigue. So who really is he? I'm Sam Mullins and this is Sea of Lies from CBC's Uncovered, available now.

From CBC News, it's the world this hour. I'm Joe Cummings. Prime Minister Mark Carney flies to Washington today ahead of his White House meeting tomorrow with US President Donald Trump. It's Carney's first trip to the Oval Office since his election victory earlier this month, and it's the first big test in what could be the defining issue of his leadership. JP Tasker has more. If Canada was a state, it wouldn't cost us, it would be great. US President Donald Trump is renewing his 50 first state taunts ahead of a high-stakes meeting with Canada's newly elected prime minister.

But he's ruling out the use of military force to annex the country. I don't see it with Canada. I just don't see it. I have to be honest with you. This will never, ever happen. Mark Carney is dismissing the takeover talk and setting the bar low for Tuesday's Oval Office meeting. The two leaders will discuss trade irritants, but the Liberal government is not

expecting a major breakthrough. Industry Minister Anita Onin. My hope and our hope is that this will be the continuation of a productive conversation. Canada's Conservatives are expecting more than that. Tory House Leader Andrew Scheer. He promised Canadians during the election that he would get a deal to lift the tariffs. There are small signs the relationship may be moving in the right direction.

While Trump labeled Justin Trudeau the governor, he's calling Mark Carney a nice gentleman. JP Tasker, CBC News, Ottawa. Still with news from the Trump White House, the president is saying he has authorized the Department of Commerce to implement a 100 percent tariff on all films coming into the United States that have been produced in foreign countries. Canada's film business, fueled by lucrative tax incentives, is a multi-billion dollar industry that employs thousands of workers across the country. There's big news today from Canada's oil and gas sector. The U.S. energy giant, Sunoco LP, has signed an agreement

to buy Calgary-based Parkland Corporation. The deal is reported to be worth more than $9 billion. Sunoco says it's committed to keeping a Canadian headquarters in Calgary, and it's promising to continue investing in Parkland's refinery in Burnaby, BC. Now to the Netherlands, where Canadian Second World War veterans are center-staged today as the country's Victory in Europe Day celebrations continue. Chris Brown reports. I'm in the town of Wagenegen, right across from the Hotel de Verrelde, where a Canadian general accepted the surrender of Nazi German forces in the Netherlands 80 years ago on this day. And the Dutch had built an entire long weekend of freedom celebrations around this place with the guest of honour

22 Canadian veterans of the war, all between 96 and 105 years old. They've already had an incredibly busy few days attending parades in nearby Appledorn and a series of commemorations at Canadian war cemeteries. But organizers here are also focusing on the present by inviting military detachments from NATO countries to march with the veterans to underscore the importance to Europe of collective security, which of course is being tested by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and doubts over US President Donald Trump's commitment to the NATO alliance. Chris Brown, CBC News in Wageningen. In dramatic fashion the Winnipeg Jets have advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

shoots to face score! Game over! Series over! That's the game and series winner last night in Winnipeg as the Jets defeated the St. Louis Blues 4-3 in double overtime in game 7. Adam Lowry scored the game winner to finish off a remarkable Jets comeback. Winnipeg was down 3-1 with just two minutes left in the third period, but rallied to tie it and then send the game into overtime. The win means the Jets advance now to face Dallas in round two. Game one in that series is set for Wednesday. As for the other Canadian teams, Toronto opens their second round series tonight against the Florida Panthers, and the Edmonton Oilers get underway with the Las Vegas Golden Knights

as of tomorrow. And that is the World This Hour. For news anytime go to our website cbcnews.ca. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
