Host Catherine Cullen tells us more. I want to see pipelines in all directions.

Alberta Premier Daniel Smith isn't shy about her enthusiasm for new ways to export her province's oil. Her preferred plan would ship it from BC's northwest coast. But British Columbia's Premier said this week he's shocked to hear that talks around such a plan have included Saskatchewan, but not BC. I almost fell out of my seat when I heard Scott Moho say that he was part of these conversations. Former Environment Minister and Vancouver Area MP Jonathan Wilkinson says BC needs to be involved, though he didn't go so far as to say the province would have to be on side.

That includes China, and lawmakers have started doing that work already. A major policy pivot, but a necessary one. says Greg Chin, political science professor at York University. There is a bit of a vacuum at the top right now. Not only should Canada forge better ties economically, it will benefit from knowledge exchange and research too, he says. But some warn, while pivoting and diversifying, is crucial. The country also needs to balance that with concerns about human rights and cyber interference.

Canada needs to strengthen domestically too, including removing internal trade barriers and forging our, own foreign policy. Lisa Shing, CBC News, Toronto.

Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Green announced Friday night she is stepping down from Congress and Trump's calling that good news for the country. Steve Futterman has details. At one time, Marjorie Taylor Green was Donald Trump's most passionate supporter, but that was

then. In the past few weeks, this political relationship has gone sour, all because of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Green announced her decision in a more than 10-minute video posted on social media, and she repeatedly referred directly to Trump. If I am cast aside by the president and the MAGA political machine, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well.

Things between Green and Trump got so nasty that Trump. did what he often does to people he disagrees with. He gave her a nasty nickname. Marjorie Taylor Green became Marjorie Trader Green.
