Prayers and candlelight vigils were held in Utah and across the United States last. night. Mourners are paying tribute to Charlie Kirk.

The conservative American commentator was shot yesterday while speaking at a university campus. He was pronounced dead in hospital. Investigators questioned a person of interest afterwards, but they now say the gunman is still at large. Bo Mason is head of Utah's Department of Public Safety. The possible shooter is taken from closed-circuit TV here on campus. We do have that. We're analyzing it, but it is security camera footage, so you can kind of guess what the quality of that is. But we do know dressed in all dark clothing, but we don't have a much better description other than that.

Kirk was shot while taking questions from an audience member about mass shootings and gun violence in the U.S. U.S. President Donald Trump is paying tribute to Charlie Kirk in a video posted on his true social platform, Trump blames extremists 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, Prime Minister Mark Carney posted on X. He said there is no justification. for political violence, and every act of it threatens democracy.

Conservative leader Pierre Pollyev said, we must all strongly denounce the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Police are still working to determine what caused the vehicle to crash into a daycare. It happened in Richmond Hill just north of Toronto yesterday. Police say one child is dead, six others are injured. Ethel Mousa has more. As you can imagine, this was a very chaotic scene. Police say nearly 100 children were inside.

a daycare when an SUV crashed into the front window. I can confirm that seven children ranging an age from one and a half to three years old were struck along with three adult staff members. Unfortunately, I'm sad to announce that a one and a half year old boy has since been pronounced deceased. Constable Kevin Nebria with York Regional Police says it's still early in the investigation, but they do not believe the crash was deliberate. A man in his 70s was arrested.

The city's mayor, David West, says it's the saddest thing he's ever experienced while on council. This is just something that no parent ever wants to deal with, and it doesn't matter how old your kids are. This is something that can be related to. This is every parent's worst nightmare. Police are now appealing to those who may have witnessed or recorded what happened on their dash camp to contact them. Ivel Musa, CBC News, Richmond Hill, Ontario. Today, Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to announce the first back to. of major projects aimed at reshaping Canada. And this morning, we can tell you what they will be.

CBC News has obtained the list in advance. Rafi Bujicanian has details from the Liberal Caucus meeting in Edmonton. It is a preliminary list. We're told everything on it is accurate. It was shared with CBC News confidentially. Top of it is the LNG terminal expansion in Kittamat, BC. It would double LNG Canada's production of liquefied natural gas. Next, about an hour east of Toronto, would be the Darlington Nuclear Project. It would

make Canada the first G7 country to have a small modular reactor. Prime Minister Carney has previously alluded to a port of Montreal expansion project, and that will be the third one on this list that's sent to the major project's office for approval. And rounding out the list are mine expansions in northwestern British Columbia and Saskatchewan. Bradford Giacannion, CBC News, Edmonton. And that is your world this hour.
