Carney Liberals' first budget; Remembering Dick Cheney
Prime Minister Mark Carney's first federal budget has set out how it intends to chart Canada's economic future for the rest of 2025 and beyond. David Akin explains how much is being earmarked for housing, infrastructure, defence, tax breaks; the civil service job reductions; what is staying the status quo; and if opposition parties will support the budget, which would stave off a snap election during the holiday season. Anne Gaviola explains how there weren't a lot of nuggets that appealed to everyday Canadians; and Mackenzie Gray looks at some of the tradeoffs from the budget. Voters are heading to the polls to elect the next mayor of New York City, where democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani has emerged as a surprise frontrunner. Jackson Proskow explains what's fuelled Mamdani's rise, and what U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening if Mamdani wins. And Dick Cheney, one of the most powerful and polarizing vice-presidents in American history, has died at age 84. Eric Sorensen looks back on Cheney's towering influence as a hardline conservative, how he was a key architect of the "war on terror," and how he became a fierce critic of Trump.
