All of this is partially in response to Donald Trump's trade war and the tariffs on steel and aluminum that hurt Canadian industry.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans confirms the adult whale was found on Friday. It was known as Polyphemus and was first spotted in 2004.

The U.S. Senate is advancing a funding bill poised to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. For weeks, Democrats held out on lending their support, demanding concessions from Republicans on health care. Last night, several Democrats sided with Senate Republicans in exchange for a future vote on extending health subsidies. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says this does not signal the end of the Democrats fight. We will sit down with any Republicans,

any time, any place, anywhere in order to find a bipartisan path forward. But we're not down with their my way or the highway approach to governance. That's failed the American people. The vote still has several hurdles to pass. Senate is debating the funding bill before the House returns and adopts the deal. At least eight people have been killed in an explosion in India's capital.

It happened at one of Delhi's most recognizable monuments. Salima Shivji has more. The blast hit just before seven in the evening in a crowded area near one of Delhi's most famous landmarks, the historic red fort. A slow-moving vehicle stopped at a red light and then the vehicle exploded, says Delhi's police commissioner Satish Golcha. At least six cars nearby also burst into flames as ambulances and firefighters rushed to the scene.

I've never heard such a loud explosion in my life, this local shopkeeper says. I was knocked down three times. Local media outlets are reporting that many of the casualties died before making it to hospital. Several others are seriously injured. What led to the car exploding is still being investigated, police say. But it's already put the country, scarred by bombings blamed on militant groups in the mid-2000s, once again on edge.
