Mark Carney is doubling down on his “Canada Strong” message ahead of a key trade review deadline. In an address posted on YouTube, the prime minister vows to diversify the economy, and protect Canada’s future -- no matter the political climate. And who he quotes might provide the biggest clues of all.
Also: Nearly two million Canadians are believed to have ADHD. But the diagnosis is highly gendered.
Boys and men are not only more likely to get a diagnosis, but it's often discovered much earlier.
That's why researchers at the University of Calgary are looking for hundreds of women and girls to study how ADHD affects them throughout their lives.
And: They're the voice of students across the country. But many of Canada's campus radio stations are at risk of going silent. The student unions who fund them say radio is outdated, lost in the noise of social media. However, there is a renewed push to see an on-campus radio resurgence.
Plus: U.S. and Iran prepare for a new round of peace talks, Mass shooting kills eight children in Louisiana, Preserving Ukraine's cultural heritage, and more.
