Hugh is a rock climber, a white supremacist, a Jewish neo-Nazi, a spam king, a crypto-billionaire, and then someone killed him. It is truly a mystery. It is truly a case of who done it.

We were able to track the movements of the shooter. We have tracked his movements onto the campus, through the stairwells, up to the roof, across the roof to a shooting location. After the shooting, we were able to track his movements as he moved to the other side

of the building, jumped off of the building, and fled off of the campus and into a neighborhood.

And CBC News has obtained a list of the first five the government is rolling out this hour. Here's Janice McGregor. When you go down the list, there's evidence of trying to give something to everyone around the Premier's table. And so we have not just one or two priorities, but five projects deemed ready to go. and a further half-dozen priorities the government wants hurried along, from LNG expansion in the West to wind energy in the east with port expansions, critical minerals mining,

and high-speed rail in between. Well, this list does enable more fossil fuel development like carbon capture and storage projects. It also fast-tracks projects key to more electrification, like innovating with small modular reactors at the Ontario-Darlington nuclear facility. The political peril for Mark Carney's government is that you can't make progress

until you pick your priorities and it is tough to please everyone. Janice McGregor, CBC News, Ottawa.
