Also: The latest economic snapshot for Canada shows the price at the pumps was down, but the cost at the checkout counters keeps going up – with things like beef, and coffee and tea seeing eye-watering increases.

And: The soaring popularity of the Professional Women’s Hockey League, as full-throated fans get set for the championship series between Ottawa and Minnesota.

Plus: President Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ missile defence system; CBC News is in Iran, speaking with women daring to break the rules by ditching their hijabs; Canada House’s century celebration in the U.K., and more.
