The World This Hour for 2025/08/02 at 06:00 EDT

Welcome to the Dudes Club, a brotherhood supporting men's health and wellness. Established in the Vancouver downtown Eastside in 2010, the Dudes Club is a community-based organization that focuses on indigenous men's health, many of whom are struggling with intergenerational trauma, addiction, poverty, homelessness, and chronic diseases. The aim is to reduce isolation and loneliness, and for the men to regain a sense of pride and purpose in their lives. As a global healthcare company, Novo Nordisk is dedicated to driving change for a healthy world. It's what we've been doing since 1923.

It also takes the strength and determination of the communities around us, whether it's through disease awareness, fighting stigmas and loneliness, education, or empowering people to become more active. Novo Nordisk is supporting local changemakers because it takes more than medicine to live a healthy life. Leave your armor at the door. Watch this paid content on CBC Gem. From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Claude Fague. Now that U.S. President Donald Trump has made good on his threat to hike a tariff on some

Canadian exports, attention now turns to Ottawa's next move. Some observers are urging the Carney government to focus on a long-term goal, strengthening the Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade agreement. Mike Crawley reports from Washington. While U.S. President Donald Trump put lower tariffs than he'd threatened on dozens of countries and gave Mexico a three-month reprieve, he slapped Canada with a tariff increase. Clearly not a win for Ottawa, but how large of a loss is it really? John Manley is a former deputy prime minister, now chair of an investment banking firm.

You know, the 93% of Canadian goods that cross the border currently tariff-free under USMCA, that's what we really need to protect. Trade policy expert Inu Manak with the Council on Foreign Relations, a think tank in Washington, believes what's really driving Trump's tariffs is getting leverage. I do think a lot of this has to do with some sort of renegotiation of parts of the KUSMA deal that the Trump administration is not happy with. And Manek says Canada's tactics so far are just fine. There's no really good way to go about doing this, and no matter what,

everyone seems to be getting hit with tariffs. Mike Crawley, CBC News, Washington. Donald Trump's latest move on tariffs against Canada has Prime Minister Mark Carney calling again for nation-building projects to tie our country closer together. In Atlantic Canada, political leaders are pitching a package of energy proposals called the Eastern Energy Partnership. Jacques Poteur reports. In a clearing outside Fredericton,

New Brunswick's Natural Resources Minister, John Heron is imagining the extension of a natural gas pipeline from Quebec to link up with an existing line beneath his feet that connects to the United States. The Quebec extension would get Alberta gas here without passing through the US. It's a made in Canada route.

This is energy sovereignty. Provinces are lining up to pitch projects of national interest to the Kearney government for fast track approval. Next door, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston is using social videos to sell a huge offshore wind project. What if Nova Scotia could power up to 27 percent of Canada's electricity needs? More nuclear powers in the mix too, with the support of some Indigenous leaders. Though Assembly of First Nations Regional Chief Joanna Bernard says any projects will

require an equity stake. We're going to be there on the grounds, making sure environmental issues are of the highest priority. Jacques Petra, CBC News, Fredericton. Unionized workers at Canada Post have rejected the Crown Corporation's latest contract offer. The offer that was voted against included wage hikes of about 13 percent over four years. It also added part-time workers that Canada Post says are necessary to keep the postal service afloat. The vote comes after more than a year and a half of talks with the nearly 55,000 unionized postal service workers. A man is now free after spending

more than 35 years behind bars for what his lawyer is calling a wrongful conviction in the death of an Edmonton woman. The CBC's Emma Zhao has the details. Single mother Susan Kaminsky went missing in 1987 after a night out. Two years later, Roy Sabodiak, who was the last man to see her alive, was convicted of second-degree murder after police conducted a Mr. Big Sting on the then 26-year-old.

More recently, the Supreme Court of Canada has noted how dangerous these confessions are and has put some very careful rules around them. Federal Justice Minister Arif Varani granted Sabodiac a new trial in February after determining that a miscarriage of justice likely occurred in the case. Alberta has entered a state of proceedings suspending the case. The matter remains before the court for judicial review.
