Prime Minister Mark Carney announced billions in funding today that he says will transform the Canadian economy and shore it up to withstand trade shocks from the Trump administration. The measures include re-skilling help for workers, larger loans for businesses, and a buy-Canada policy. Carney also announced a pause on the implementation of the Federal Electric Vehicle

mandate, something Canadian automakers have been asking for. David Thurton has more. They've got enough on their plate right now. So we're taking that off. Prime Minister Mark Carney offering automakers a reprieve on the EV mandate. as the sector scrambles to adapt to Donald Trump's tariffs. So to add flexibility to the automotive sector, we will remove the 2026 electric vehicle availability standard.

That's now on pause while Ottawa launches a 60-day review. Keith Brooks, with Environmental Defense, is disappointed. Yeah, I mean, we're worried. We don't really know what the extent of the review was. going to be, and to be honest, we don't have a clear indication of the extent to which this government, under Prime Minister Mark Carney, remains committed to fighting climate change.

A 12-year-old Alberta boy has been charged with the attempted murder of his 7-year-old brother. The 12-year-old initially told Lethbridge police that an unknown male had entered his home, but Staff Sergeant Ashland Snowden says police believe that was not true. A search warrant was executed at the residence and a knife believed to be involved in the offense was seized. As the investigation progressed, evidence was obtained indicating the 12-year-old boy had stabbed his brother repeatedly and believed he'd killed him. The 12-year-old is in custody. The younger boy is in stable condition. This is a very important change because it's an attitude. Donald Trump has signed an executive order renaming the Department of Defense, the Department of War.

He says the rebrand will remind people of past U.S. military victories and send a signal about the nation's shifting foreign policy. The Department of Defense had previously been called the War Department until an overhaul in 1949. I think it's a much more appropriate name, especially in light of where the world is right now. We should have won every war. We could have won every war, but we would have won every war. We really chose to be very politically correct, and we just fight forever. The Republicans have introduced legislation that would make the name change permanent. Critics say the rebrand is costly and distracts from concrete policy decisions.
