Challenges and Compassion: A Dual Focus

G7 leaders gather in Kananaskis, Alberta to talk about the global economy, trade tariffs and other issues. The G7 is hosted this year by Prime Minister Mark Carney. He had bilateral meetings with a number of leaders including U.S. President Donald Trump. The Israel - Iran conflict was front and centre.

Also: The Israel - Iran war shows no sign of letting up. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not ruled out ‘eliminating’ Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Israel stepped up its bombardment of areas in Iran, including Iranian state television, and Iran launched another major salvo of missiles at targets within Israel.

And: The federal government launches a ‘Canada Strong Pass’ that offers discounts for travel within our country.

Plus: Minnesota shooting, pregnancy loss and more.
