    Jun 14 2026

    A breakthrough has been reached in ending the war between the United States and Iran. According to the U.S., Iran and Pakistan, there is a ceasefire agreement. Donald Trump says the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is ending, while Pakistan's Prime Minister says fighting will end on all fronts. Crucially, nothing has been signed yet. We have the latest details.


    Also: The streets of Aughagower, Ireland were decked out in maple leafs and Canadian flags today. Prime Minister Mark Carney made a personal pitstop during his official tour of the country - returning to the town his ancestors once called home.


    And: The Ontario government says demand for electricity will increase by as much as 75 per cent over the next 25 years. To meet that demand, there's a plan to build the world's largest nuclear power plant in Port Hope. But that plan is angering some in the town, which has a troubled history with nuclear energy.


    Plus: UFC matches on the White House Lawn, CUSMA negotiations, and more.

  • Montreal police officers accused of racism, Criminalizing forced sterilization, Diving into whaling records, and more
    Jun 13 2026

    Two Montreal police officers are suspended and fourteen others under scrutiny - after being accused of repeated "discriminatory and racist” acts against Black and Arab Montrealers. An active investigation is now underway. Police and city officials are promising to root out the problem and rebuild an already fragile public trust.


    Also: There is a long and deeply troubling history of forced and coerced sterilization in Canada. Since the early 20th Century, thousands of women and girls have been deprived of their ability to have children. Particularly Indigenous, Black and disabled women. Earlier this week, the House of Commons passed an act to amend the Criminal Code - which will soon make the practice a crime.


    And: Before fossil fuels, much of the world was powered by whale oil. Demand was so high, whaling nearly drove some species to extinction. Now, researchers are reading into the words of whalers from long ago, to get a better picture of the scale of that industry.


    Plus: Mark Carney in Ireland, Donald J. Trump's name removed from the Kennedy Centre, and more.

    Jun 12 2026

    For the first time ever, Canada played to a draw in World Cup soccer. The team faced off against Bosnia-Herzegovina as the tournament kicked off in Toronto.


    Also: Prime Minister Mark Carney got a warm welcome from French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris today... but a cold reality awaits them. They're preparing for next week's G7 summit, where U.S. President Donald Trump's presence is likely to bring tension.


    And: It began with a prompt and ended with a problem. A customer asked a simple question online. He got what he thought was a reliable answer from a company employee. Except, it wasn't.


    Plus: Forced labour legislation, SpaceX IPO, MAID in the Netherlands, and more.
