The World This Hour for 2025/05/25 at 17:00 EDT

Other People's Problems was the first podcast to take you inside real-life therapy sessions. I'm Dr. Hilary McBride, and again, we're doing something new. The ketamine really broke down a lot of my barriers. This work has this sort of immediate transformational effect. Therapy Using Psychedelics is the new frontier in mental health. Come along for the trip. Other People's Problems Season 5, available now. From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Chulianne Haselewood. On Parliament Hill, parties are holding caucus meetings today ahead of MPs returning to the House of Commons tomorrow.

Conservative leader Pierre Poliev congratulated the party's newest member of Parliament. Jonathan Rowe was declared the winner Friday in the Newfoundland riding of Terra Nova at the peninsulas after a judicial recount. News of the recount in Newfoundland points to the fact that we've expanded our coalition to include union workers, young people, newcomers, and others who had never voted before. They voted for hope, for a change. And while we narrowly missed forming government, we now have every duty to fulfill that hope and fight for that change.

Palieff won't become opposition leader until he wins a seat in the Commons. For now, Andrew Scheer leads the Tories in the House. Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberals are also meeting today for the first time since being re-elected last month. You know the scale of responsibility that we have been given and it is enormous. Our government has been elected to do nothing less than define a new economic and security relationship with the United States and build the strongest economy that works for everyone. Canadians also want their life to become more affordable.

They want their communities safer. The return to Parliament will be a brief four-week sitting of the Commons. Begins tomorrow with the selection of a new speaker. King Charles arrives in Canada tomorrow for the first time since his coronation. It's a brief two-day visit. He'll deliver the speech from the throne Tuesday, laying out the new Liberal government's agenda. Canada's High Commissioner to the UK, Ralph Goodale, talks about the scene inside Parliament.

The senators get to sit in their usual places and all the official guests sit in and around the Senate floor. The members of the House of Commons crowd in to the lobby area at the end of the Senate. They are commoners treading on the Senate's turf, so they don't get past the bar. They have to stand kind of outside the door on the doorstep. Goodale knows what it's like to sit on that doorstep. He was an MP in 1977 when Queen Elizabeth delivered the speech from the throne during her silver jubilee visit to Canada.

The team in charge of preparing for tomorrow's royal visit says the process has been challenging. Senior Privy Council Officer Jules Girard says the biggest obstacle is time. Usually his team would get months to plan. Instead, they had weeks. But Girard says no one is complaining. Everyone's absolutely excited. This is very different from what we normally do. And it's a great opportunity and exciting. For me the best part of Royal Visits is seeing the people who are participating. That's really the fun for us after weeks or months of planning.

To have it come together and to have people sharing the excitement is an absolutely great experience. Girard says the last big test will be the weather. Monday's Environment Canada forecast calls for a high of 23, under partly cloudy skies with a 40% chance of showers. A vigil will be held tonight in Walkerton, Ontario to remember four teenagers and their teacher. They were killed in a crash near London on Friday while traveling home from a softball tournament. The teens were all young women, either 16 or 17 years old. They attended Walkerton District Community

School. Chris Peabody is the mayor of Brockton, a municipality that includes Walkerton. He says the town is in shock. The community is rallying for ways to support the families and the school. The community is rallying for ways to support the families and the school. There will be a candlelight vigil tonight as well as people are encouraged to put, as they were athletes, put shoes out, running shoes out on the porch or baseball bat. The SUV the victims were in collided with a transport truck. Police have not laid charges and say they're still investigating. A Quebec man has set a world record for running a half marathon while wearing Crocs. Radwin Macbool of Gatineau finished the Ottawa half marathon in a few minutes shy of two hours. The previous Guinness World Record

was set at just over two hours. Hope the blisters weren't too bad. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Julie-Ann Hazelwood.
