Two Quebecers are among those killed in a finicular crash that happened on Wednesday in Lisbon, Portugal. 16 people died in the tragedy at the popular tourist attraction and 21 others were injured. Andre Bergeron and his French wife, Blondein Doe, were on their very last day of vacation in Lisbon

Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled a series of measures today designed to transform the Canadian economy. The goal is to help Canadian workers and businesses adapt to a rapidly changing global economic situation. Tom Perry has more.

What's going on is not a transition. It's a rupture. Mark Carney made his announcement at an aviation plant that uses Quebec aluminum to manufacture airplane parts. Aluminum is one of the Canadian commodities being hit by U.S. tariffs. Carney announced a suite of programs to help businesses suffering under America's global trade war, a plan to retrain up to 50,000 workers, expanded loans and funding to help struggling businesses, and stricter by Canadian measures to ensure federal departments give top priority to domestic suppliers. Now we need to use government procurement using Canadian taxpayer dollars to spur Canadian businesses for longer-term prosperity.

Carney also announced new support for canola and beef producers, along with the seafood sector, which have all been facing Chinese tariffs. Tom Perry, CBC News, Mississauga. Carney also announced that his government is delaying its electric vehicle. mandate. The target would have required 20% of all new vehicles sold in Canada next year to be electric. Conservative leader, Pierre Pahliav,

says Carney's going about it, all wrong. After being a passionate advocate for banning gas-powered vehicles, he's finally admitted that the conservatives were right. But he's doing a clumsy retreat, saying that he's going to delay this mandate. So now

businesses who would otherwise consider investing in auto-making here in Canada, we'll have to put that investment on hold, while Mark Carney dithers. Carney has ordered a 60-day review of the EV mandate to make sure the program is cost-effective. And a prop from the original Star Wars movies has sold for more than $5 million.
