It's April 6, Canada News Today starts now, AI-powered and ready. I'm Cory with the story. Three bi-elections in university, Rosedale, Scarborough, Southwest, and Terabon, could hand Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberals a majority in the House of Commons, if they sweep all three that'll push their total to 173 seats out of 343. These races carry extra weight after four opposition MPs recently crossed the floor to join the Liberals. Meanwhile, developers at one young in Toronto have scaled back their plans from two mid-rise office towers to just a simple plaza with benches and trees. Demand for office space hasn't bounced back since the pandemic hit. Local residents aren't impressed, calling the new design underwhelming for such a historic spot. Community leaders say it lacks real vision and doesn't honor the site's importance along the waterfront. Over in the Barry Sherman saga, a family feud is brewing over $2 billion in assets from the murdered Pharma tycoon. His son Jonathan

clashes with sister Alexandra and others trusted by their late dad. If they don't settle by May 25, it'll all spill out in Toronto court. These stories show how local votes, city builds, and big money fights, shape our headlines. Keep an eye on them as they unfold.
