4/21/202627 min

The US - Iran ceasefire is extended. After a day of mixed messages, where U.S President Trump signalled that he would not extend the ceasefire, he reversed course. We’ll break down the latest developments.

And: It’s Canada’s most important trading relationship, but the sailing has not been smooth of late. Prime Minister Mark Carney has formed a new advisory group to guide Canada through the rough seas of U.S. trade talks.

Plus: Details on the shooting death of a Canadian in Mexico, the King's upcoming visit to the U.S., renewable and energy municipality struggle over data centre, and more.
