CBC News has learned that Prime Minister Mark Carney raised the Keystone XL pipeline in his meeting yesterday with U.S. President Donald Trump. It's possible Carney is prepared to use Keystone as leverage in his tariff negotiations with the White House. Janice McGregor reports.

Energy, it had a proposal to send Alberta oil south, first to U.S. refineries, but then onwards it hoped to world markets. This was stopped by Barack Obama's administration amid intense pressure from environmentalists. But Donald Trump has always liked this pipeline idea. And a source with direct knowledge of the president's conversation with Mark Carney yesterday says, the Prime Minister raised the idea of reviving this pipeline proposal as some part of a bigger cooperative deal between Canada and the U.S.
Starting point is 00:01:37 But it's unclear how the trade-offs around this partnership that Carney's pitching would really work.

It's not the Danielle Smith show. It's the Canadian team. Daniel Smith says, Premierese comments are un-Canadian and they're unconstitutional. Smith insists that private sector backers will build the pipeline if Ottawa removes roadblocks, such as the ban on tanker traffic off BC's North Coast. Following a meeting with the Prime Minister Monday,
Starting point is 00:02:51 Danielle Smith insists that Mark Carney pledged to reach an agreement on the proposed pipeline, by mid-November.

The Israeli military has intercepted another aid flotilla in the Mediterranean Sea. And according to Israel, six Canadians are among the activists who have been detained. The flotilla includes nine vessels that were believed to be looking to challenge Israel's naval blockade of Gaza. Israel says 145 people were aboard the boats, and they are, now being processed for deportation. At this point, there's been no response from Ottawa.
Starting point is 00:03:32 National Guard troops from Texas are in Illinois, preparing to enter the city of Chicago. U.S. President Donald Trump says the Chicago deployment is necessary because, quote, crime in the city is out of control. But Mayor Brandon Johnson calls it unnecessary and unconstitutional. The federal government is out of control. This is one of the most dangerous times in our nation's history, an unhinged, double-minded, simple-minded man who is not being held accountable. The White House is accusing the mayor of aiding and abetting criminals, rapists, and drug traffickers. Both the city and the state of Illinois have launched legal campaigns to stop the deployment. In New York last night, a loss for the Blue Jays.
