I'm Joshua Jackson, and I'm returning for the Audible original series, Oracle, Season 3, Murder at the Grandview. Six forty-somethings took a boat out a few days ago. One of them was found dead. The hotel, the island, something wasn't right about it. Psychic agent Nate Russo is back on the case, and you know when Nate's killer instincts are required, anything's possible.

This world's gonna eat you alive. Listen to Oracle Season 3, Murder at the Grandview, now on Audible. This is a CBC Podcast. This is World Report. Good morning, I'm Marcia Young. Put on your Canora dinner jacket, bust out that double denim and add some extra maple syrup to your pancakes because today is

Canada Day and this year a lot of people are feeling extra patriotic. We need to stand up for Canada. We do have a strong proud Canadian nation. My eight-year-old granddaughter took me to the grocery store and says, Donna, Manana, is that from Canada? Four months, politicians have been defending Canada's sovereignty. Today, people are celebrating it. And the CBC's Omar Dabagui-Pacheco is in the nation's capital. Omar, what is happening there this morning? Well, the party is underway. It's getting kicked off here. And as always, the first people to show up at the party

are the families with young kids. We're here in the front lawn of the Canadian War Museum, which is, you know, for the past few years where the event has been, this is the heart of the party. There's a rock climbing tower that a lot of kids are getting up on. And what you're hearing in the background is the Famille Le Blanc,

a quintessentially Canadian, Acadian group that's been across Canada. They're playing on the pop-up stage here. A lot of kids are rolling in. A couple hundred people right now. This is sort of, for the past few years, where the party has been, but it stretches all the way to Parliament Hill. They're expecting at peak time here at the Breton Flats, about 30,000 people for the

big party here. And this Canada Day, it is impossible to ignore the US president's continued threats about annexing Canada. Any sense of how that's playing out? Yeah, I've been speaking to people here and you know, even leading up to this event. And I mean, everyone from the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture to Ottawa's mayor, they've been describing this Canada Day as different, as full of unity, right? Most of them saying, yeah, it feels different,

it feels like a time to come together and celebrate Canada in a different way. And if you look at the flags across town, anywhere in the city, I've grown up here, I've never seen so many flags just popping up on windows, on front lawns, you get that sense that there's a little bit of additional patriotism to this year, and that sense that there's a little bit of additional patriotism to this year and that that seems to be a theme in relation to our neighbors of the south.

Although I did speak to one reveler here who said, you know what, I'm not thinking about politics today. Today is really just about the party. And as I see everyone streaming in here right now, I can tell a lot of people were really just focused on that at this moment. Thank you so much Omar. Thank you. Omar Dabagui-Pacheco in Ottawa. Not all Canadians are flying the maple leaf loud and proud today. A new poll suggests prairie separatism is now growing in rural parts of Manitoba.

The survey by Probe Research shows if there was a referendum on the province's independence, more than one in five Manitobans would vote to separate from Canada. Karen Pauls reports. Hi, what can I get for you two? It's the lunch rush at Sills Drive-In about an hour's drive southwest of Winnipeg. Double bacon cheeseburger. There's also talk of separation. A new poll found just over half of Manitobans who identify as

conservative voters would vote to leave if there was a referendum on independence. Darwin Dreeger is a military veteran who wouldn't re-enlist because he can't defend what Canada has become. Just Western Canada if they decided to separate that'd be probably my first preference. Because Western Canada is majority blue-collar right oil gas farming and Eastern Canada takes advantage of that and Peter van der Mulen's truck has Canadian flags flying from the back windows he still believes Canada is worth fighting for but says the federal liberals have done a lot of

damage we either have to start over again as a brand new country or separate and do our own thing. It is a really good temperature check on our... Probe research partner Mary Agnes Welch says a growing number of conservatives feel separation is an option, at least hypothetically. People tend to get a lot more serious and firm in their views when they actually have a choice to make. The poll also found nearly 60% of respondents feel more patriotic than before the threats and tariffs from US President Donald Trump.

Joelle Widdink is in that camp. Yes, we're very proud to be Canadian. Although the poll also found if you separate out conservative voters, only 29% feel that way. Karen Pauls, CBC News, Carmen, Manitoba. More than 130 charities and NGOs want the Israeli and U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation shut down. They say Israeli forces and armed groups routinely open fire on Palestinians waiting for aid. In a joint statement, the group says over 500 Palestinians have been killed at aid sites

and 4,000 have been injured. Israel denies its soldiers deliberately shoot at people waiting for aid. In central Germany, people are trying to get out of the sun around a shaded fountain. Europe is experiencing soaring temperatures. 16 regions in France, including Paris, have been placed on red alert in Italy. 21 cities are also on the highest alert, including Rome, Milan and Venice. There have been two deaths, both in Italy. US President Donald Trump is visiting a new detention camp for undocumented migrants in the Florida Everglades today. It is nicknamed Alligator Alcatraz. Caroline Levitt, White House press secretary, described it to reporters. There is only one road

leading in and the only way out is a one-way flight. It is isolated and surrounded by dangerous wildlife and unforgiving terrain. The White House says the facility will have 5,000 beds to house, process, and deport what it calls criminal, illegal aliens. The feud between the world's richest man and the U.S. president has heated up again, this time over the so-called Big Beautiful Bill making its way through Congress. The CBC's Katie Nicholson has the story from Washington. Outside the White House, Donald Trump fielded questions about Elon Musk, specifically whether he would deport the South African-born billionaire.

Tensions between the two erupted again over Trump's signature piece of legislation, his so-called big, beautiful bill, lumbering contentiously through Congress. Musk has vowed to make sure politicians who vote for it lose their next primary. He's critical of how it is projected to balloon the deficit by more than $3 trillion in the next 10 years. Trump says Musk is actually sore about something else. Elon is very upset that the EV mandate is going to be terminated. Trump suggested Musk gets more federal subsidies than anyone else. And the cost-cutting government agency he spearheaded ought to review his own contracts.

Those are the monsters that might have to go back and eat Elon. Katie Nicholson, CBC News, Washington. An artist in Calgary is exploring the symbols that make up Canadians' shared identity. The Canada goose, ketchup chips and a can of maple syrup. She's drawing one of those things every day in a series called Drawn to Canada. As Ruxar Ali reports, the Canada Proud spotlight has given a new meaning to many of those symbols. He just did this and pointed here and said, elbows up. People knew exactly what he was talking about. Artist Lynn Renny knows the power of a symbol.

Inspired by the new wave of Canadian pride, like the elbows up gesture from Mike Myers in March, she's drawing a picture a day for a hundred days, trying to piece together the symbols that make up a shared Canadian identity. With the current geopolitical climate, I was frankly thrilled that I could see our entire country lean into Canadianisms. York University Associate Professor Anne McClellan calls that leaning in defensive nationalism, a result of Donald Trump's 51st state comments. Bagged Milk, Smarties and the North American House Hippo are just some of the drawings in

Reni's series. The much-loved TV franchise Degrassi is also featured. The show's co-creator Linda Schuyler says she's proud of how they exemplified Canadian values, like celebrating diversity. It didn't matter what your cultural background is, what your skin color is, it was an inclusive world that we were building. Skyler says Degrassi's inclusion in Reni's project comes at an important time as Americans deal with attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion policies south of the border. It is the antithesis of what we as Canadians believe. Reni's project hits 100 days in mid-July, but she says she'll keep it going,

drawing her way through Canadian identity. Ruxa Raleigh, CBC News, Calgary. Hey, hey, I guess it isn't in me Blue Rodeo will be part of this evening's National Canada Day concert.
