Aaron Collins, CBC News, Washington. And tonight, U.S. President Donald Trump is paying tribute to Charlie Kirk in a video posted on his truth social platform. Trump also blames the American far left for the murder. For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now.

Here in Canada, conservative leader Pierre Polyiv posted on acts, we must all strongly denounce the shooting of Charlie Kirk, political violence has never justified, the attacker must be brought to justice, and free speech must be upheld. A toddler is dead after a vehicle crashed into a daycare center in Richmond Hill north of Toronto. Six other children were also injured, one with life-threatening injuries, as well as three staff members. Constable Kevin Nebriah is with York Regional Police. It is still early investigation, but I can tell you that a man in his 70s has since been arrested in relation to. to this incident. We are still determining the sequence of events.

He promised to unveil the initial list of big infrastructure and energy projects they'll support, and he met with the Premier of Alberta, who isn't happy with reports there are no pipelines on the list.

Olivia Stefanovic has reaction. You have to understand the list is going to be an Evergreening list. It's not, oh my gosh, this is it. Nothing else can be added. Carney is capping off the first day of the Liberal Caucus retreat with Alberta Premier Daniel Smith. After Radio Canada reported that a new oil pipeline is not part of the federal government's initial major projects. Why would an oil sands company, knowing that there's an emissions cap, how in the world can they then pledge new barrels to go into a pipeline that would go to a coast where there's a tanker bend? Smith says she's working with Carney to address those concerns. in the hopes of repealing certain federal environmental policies.

But the Prime Minister is facing internal pushback. Toronto Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine Smith. Backsliding on our commitments around climate. It'd be a very odd thing for us to do.
