Hey, I'm Sarah Marshall, and there's one story from the past that I've been circling around for years now. This eight-part series traces the hidden history of the satanic panic in North America. We'll connect the dots from Victoria, BC, to the backroads of Kentucky. Satan was having a moment, the sensationalist heartthrob of our time. The Devil You Know, available now wherever you get your podcasts. from cbc news it's the world this hour i'm joe cummings we start in ottawa where nova scotia m chris d'antrama is out today explaining why he has left the conservative party to join the liberals it's time to actually try to lead a country to try to make it better and not try to knock it down

It's Dantramal perhaps making reference to the aggressive style of conservative leader Pierre Pollyev. Dr. Ma crossed the floor yesterday, just as the liberal budget was being tabled. He says the liberal fiscal plan is the correct path forward for both his riding and the country. As for other conservatives, considering the same move? I would suggest that there probably are those that are in the same boat, but I will let them tell their stories if that time goes. The official count in the House of Commons has the Liberals two seats. from a majority. Still, with the budget, now that it's been tabled, the liberals have to explain

to Canadians that this is a fiscal document that looks years down the road at a crisis that's happening now. Peter Armstrong explains. Mr. Speaker, the budget I present today comes at a time of profound change. In the House of Commons, finance minister Francois-Philippe-Champaign lays out the plan his government has crafted to help the economy not just survive the tariff crisis, but to thrive in spite of it. Businesses are being asked to bet big on the liberal promise to get Canadian products to market. The budget is meant to buy time, time for these measures to be implemented and take shape, but the damage being done to the economy is happening in real time.

Sahir Khan, Vice President of the Institute of Fiscal Studies in Democracy at the University of Ottawa, says the clock is ticking. And I don't think these measures are really going to kick in in the short term. It's about confidence in the short term, but the results of a major capital strategy, and defense strategy are going to be felt over decades. And therein lies the hard part. Can the economy keep its head above water long enough for the budget and its changes to start playing out? Peter Armstrong, CBC News, Toronto.

The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments today about the legality of Donald Trump's tariffs and whether the American president is overstepping his authority.

But in the argument against the Trump action, The court will be hearing that under the Constitution, only Congress has the power to implement a tariff campaign. Still in the U.S., voters in New York City have elected a new mayor. He is 34-year-old Zoran Mandani. Katie Nicholson has the details.

A triumphant end to a juggernaut of a campaign. The working people of New York have been told by the wealthy and the well-connected that power does not belong in their hands. Zoron Mamdani with a fiery speech. Over the last 12 months, you have dared to reach for something greater. The 34-year-old Democratic Socialist rapidly ascended to mayor-elect on promises to make life in New York more affordable, free buses, childcare, rent freezes, and government-run grocery stores. This race, seen by some as a barometer reading, one year after voters elected Donald Trump to his second term in the Oval Office, and one year before, the crucial.

midterm elections. Trump injected himself into the New York race. He endorsed former governor Andrew Cuomo, a longtime Democrat, and suggested he would pull federal funding from the city if Mamdani won. Katie Nicholson, CBC News, Washington. And there are other big wins last night for the Democrats elsewhere across the United States. The campaigns for governor in both Virginia and New Jersey were both won by Democrats. And in California, voters approved Proposition 50.
