Episode description

Vancouver police have revealed that the man in custody after allegedly driving into a crowd at a Filipino street festival, subsequently killing 11, had a long history of police and mental health interactions. Liberal candidate Nell Thomas is facing mounting backlash just days before the election after past social media posts about the elderly and China resurfaced, prompting her to claim the comments were taken out of context. The Conservatives are vowing to restore access to nicotine pouches at convenience stores, pledging to reverse Trudeau-era restrictions that critics say unfairly punished adults trying to quit smoking.
