and this country is behind you. Manitoba Premier Wob Canoe posted a video on social media, voicing his support. BC Premier David E.B. posted that Americans need to hear how tariffs raise prices and that the truth will win. The Reagan ad will air in the U.S. this weekend during the World Series. But Ontario Premier Doug Ford says, after talking to Prime Minister Carney, he'll pause the campaign on Monday.

Venezuelan president, Nicolas Maduro, speaking in English, had this plea.

Peace forever. No crazy worm. Both Venezuela and neighboring Colombia have condemned the strikes as extrajudicial executions. Mandy Sham, CBC News, Toronto. And that is your world this hour for CBC News. I'm Neil Kumar. Orr.
