The World This Hour for 2025/05/28 at 06:00 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, it's the world this hour. I'm Joe Cummings. It's a mounting concern across the country and in particular this spring in the Yukon.

Indigenous leaders are worried that as the search continues for residential school unmarked graves, support for the initiative may be diminishing. Catherine Pilkington has more now from Whitehorse. They're saying that's false information. Sandra Johnson is an elder with the Yukon Residential Schools Missing Children Project. She's concerned federal funding cuts and growing residential school denialism will hinder the group's plans this year. Plans that involve ground-penetrating radar searches as well as archival research.

This really did happen and it's still happening in subtle ways. Over the past year, the federal government has made cuts to organizations that support search efforts. Some indigenous researchers worry that cuts could fuel denialism. They say they're disturbed by some of the discourse they've seen on social media and heard from Canadian politicians. It just seems only recently that there's been this enormous pushback. That's Raymond Frogner, senior director of research with the National Center for Truth

and Reconciliation. It's unclear what funding will look like under Prime Minister Mark Carney. The federal government did not return a request for comment by deadline. Katrin Pilkington, CBC News, Whitehorse. Parliament gets down to work today with a new speaker, a new prime minister, and plenty of new faces in the House of Commons. Roughly one-third of the MPs in the House, including Prime Minister Mark Carney, were elected for the first time in April and will be facing their first ever question period.

And for the first time in two decades, Conservative leader Pierre Poliev will not be on the floor this after failing to win re-election in his home riding. Former party leader Andrew Scheer will lead the Conservative caucus. US President Donald Trump says he has told Canada how much it would cost to join his plan for a space-based missile defense shield. And in doing so, Trump also returned to his 51st state rhetoric. Trump says taking part in his so-called Golden Dome would cost Canada more than $60 billion or $0 if we were, in quote, a cherished member of the United States. Trump has previously said the complex defense system would cost in total $175 billion

and would be completed before his term comes to an end in 2029. However, the U.S. Congressional Budget Office is estimating that the space-based components alone would cost three times that figure over the next two decades. A 96-year-old Dartmouth Nova Scotia woman in need of a family doctor is taking matters into her own hands. As we hear now from Nicola Sagan, Dorothy Lamont has taken out an ad in her local newspaper. Kind of like your personal advertisement. Right. 96-year-old Dorothy Lamont and her son Stuart huddle around the local newspaper.

On page three, an ad titled Seeking a Physician, written by Dorothy. She says it's her last ditch effort to find a doctor after three years without one. Any problem I get, I have no one to turn to. Though Dorothy's method is unique, her story isn't. An estimated 6.5 million Canadians don't have a family doctor. In Nova Scotia, that number is decreasing, but still sits at more than 90,000 people, close to 9 percent of the population. At 96, I think you deserve a bit better.

Stuart Lamont says his mother isn't trying to make a political statement. Just stand up for herself and other seniors. After the ad was published, a medical clinic called saying a new doctor could take Dorothy as a patient. Nicholas Sagan, CBC News, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Now to Edmonton and the Stanley Cup Playoffs. So, no shot, no shot. Across for McGavin. Now to Newton Hopkins.

Let's go! That goal from Euler winger, Corey Perry, proved to be the game winner as Edmonton was on its way to a 4-1 win over the Dallas Stars. The Eulers now lead that best of seven Western Final, three games to one, and can finish the Stars off tomorrow night in Dallas. And that is the World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
