The World This Hour for 2025/05/23 at 03:00 EDT

How did the internet go from this? You could actually find what you were looking for right away, bound to this. I feel like I'm in hell. Spoiler alert, it was not an accident. I'm Cory Doctorow, host of Who Broke the Internet from CBC's Understood. In this four-part series, I'm going to tell you

why the internet sucks now, whose fault it is, and my plan to fix it. Find who broke the internet on whatever terrible app you get your podcasts. From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Claude Fague. It appears a full-blown strike by Canada Post union workers starting at midnight Eastern time is on hold. The Crown Corporation released a statement on Thursday night confirming that it met with Cub W with the assistance of mediators, but that the meeting lasted less than a half hour with talks not leading to any meaningful progress. The union then released their own statement calling on its members to refuse to work overtime as of 12 a.m. Eastern time today

and to not exceed eight hours a day or 40 hours per week with threats of a possible strike at a later time still remaining. To Newfoundland and Labrador now where the results in the Terra Nova the peninsula's recount are expected today. The recount started nearly two weeks ago, leaving the candidates waiting and waiting for an outcome. The CBC's Heather Gillis reports. It's been 12 days since the automatic judicial recount started in Taranova, the peninsula's, and the outcome is finally expected later today. On election night, Liberal candidate Anthony Germain beat out

Conservative candidate Jonathan Rowe by just 12 votes. It's emergence so tight it triggered an automatic recount. It took election workers almost two full days to go through 41,000 ballots, leaving an unprecedented number of disputed ballots, 1,041 of them. A judge has been going through every single one of those disputed ballots since the middle of last week. A spokesperson for the Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court says once Judge Garrett Handrigan makes a decision, he'll notify Elections Canada, which will publish the results. If the Liberals hold on, they'll have 170 seats in the House of Commons.

But if it flips blue, that will bump up the Conservatives to 144 seats. Heather Gillis, CBC News, St. John's. Today marks three weeks since two young children were reported missing in Nova Scotia. There is still no sign of them. Our CMP have not ruled out that the case is suspicious. And now one area resident says the Mounties have asked her for hours of footage from her trail cameras. Kayla Hounsolt has the latest. So these are the cameras that we like to use. Melissa

Scott points to a small camera she's mounted to a tree. She has seven of them set up around her property, which is more than an eight kilometer drive from where Lily and Jack Sullivan were reported missing from their home on May 2nd. This week Scott says two RCMP officers from the major crime unit showed up asking for footage dating back five days before the children's parents called 911. I did mention to them that I was very happy to see them and glad that they were canvassing a little further and looking at trail cram footage and they did respond saying that they probably should have been around earlier.

Police say they were told 6-year-old Lily and 4-year-old Jack had wandered away from their home in Lansdowne Station, an extremely rural area about 140 kilometres northeast of Halifax. It sparked an extensive search through dense woods. The RCMP declined an interview request. Kayla Hounsell, CBC News, Pictou County, Nova Scotia. Former Liberal cabinet minister Marco Mendocino will be stepping down as Mark Carney's chief of staff.

In an online post Thursday, Prime Minister Carney confirmed that he has asked Mendocino, who assumed the role when Carney was elected Prime Minister, to remain at his post into the summer until the government's mandate is presented in Parliament and to help lead the transition of the PMO. There are reports suggesting the Toronto area MP may make a run at becoming Mayor of Toronto in 2026. For a second straight game, the PWHL final between Ottawa and Minnesota went to an overtime. This time it was the
