The nation is watching Alberta and we know it. I'm Kathleen Petty, host of West of Center. Every week I speak with the people shaping Alberta politics from pipelines to separation, to help you understand what's going on here and why it matters to the entire country. Pull up a chair and join me, West of Center. Find us and follow wherever you get your podcasts. From CBC News, the world is out. I'm Neil Kumar. Trump tariffs and trade. They're all top of mind these days, especially since the latest escalation in the Canada U.S. trade war. The busiest trading corridors between Ontario, Michigan. So how are Americans in that state feeling about it all ahead of their fall midterm elections? Catherine Toney explains. At this bowling league in Flint, Michigan, the gap between bins isn't the only kind of split. At one lane alone, up political divide.
Scott Holmes vocals in his support for U.S. President Donald Trump. These four of the people, I see a lot of stuff. Congress people, they're Arabs and Islam, they're swearing on the crown or whatever. His teammate Dick Hunt, frustrated by the President's trade war. As the people out, we end up paying for it. Historically, the Flint area has voted Democrat, but in recent years, Republicans have made inroads. Setting it up to be competitive in the November midterm. The Democrat running for the open Senate seat wants the trade war to be a voting issue. Abdul Al-Sahead told CBC News while he supports some tariffs, the ones slapped on Canada are logical. The hope here that Canada and U.S. get back to sitting on the same side soon. Catherine Toney, CBC News, Flint, Michigan. A U.S. judge has declared a mistrial in the murder trial of Lindsey Clancy, the much publicized trial put maternal mental health in the spotlight. But the jury could not agree whether Clancy was criminally responsible for killing her
three young children. Philip Lee Shannock reports. The jury heard testimony from more than 80 witnesses and viewed hundreds of exhibits. They'd been deadlocked for a week. They know that they were robbed by one man for whatever his agenda was. Defensler, Kevin Ruddington, says it came down to one juror who refused to admit they harbored, reasonable doubt, even when questioned individually by Judge Sullivan himself. So I hope that guy can sleep well at least. Clancy is accused of strangling to death her three children, aged five, three, and eight months old in 2023. She then attempted to kill herself by jumping from a window. Her defense argued that she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum depression and psychosis. The District Attorney's Office says the prosecutor's only motivation is to seek justice for the three Clancy children and they have not yet made a decision on whether to retry their mother. Philip Lee Shannock, CBZ News, Toronto. Statistics Canada says the country lost 42,000 jobs last month.
Economists were expecting 15,000 new jobs. Eric Davis from BMO Global Asset Management suggests that a civil law need to exist within those cloudy employment numbers. The bad news, the loss of 42,000 jobs probably cemented the bank account and not hiking rates this year. The market was thinking there was a fair chance of a hike this year, but a negative job loss probably cemented some not doing anything this year keeping rates on hold. So that's a good thing. Unemployment remains at 6.4%. The last few years have been some of the hottest on record in Canada and a new federal climate change report says we need to prepare for even more heat. Anite Singh explains. It's time to heed the warnings. Says the Canadian Climate Institutes Ryan Ness. He's combing through the federal government's latest climate change report. The first time it was ever done was seven years ago. Since then, Canada has faced major climate disasters that have made the toll clear and climate scientists have much better projections for the end of the century. In a best case scenario, Canada is expected to warm by about three and a half degrees
before things level off. That means a significant amount of climate change, more extreme rainfall, more droughts, more extreme heat, more wildfires. That's the stark message of the report that Canada now faces unavoidable climate destruction. Even in a scenario where the world reaches net zero carbon emissions in this century, Canada which is warming at twice or more the global average will have to adapt to more extreme weather that is now irreversible. Anite Singh, CBC News Toronto. And that is the world's sour for CBC News. I'm Neil Kumar.
