PODCAST: The Daily Review for Tues. April 14th, 2026

Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to temporarily suspend a federal tax on gas, diesel, and aviation fuel. The announcement comes less than 24 hours after the Carney Liberals secured a majority government, winning all 3 byelections that were held on Monday night. Will this kind gesture alleviate financial pressures from Canadian family budgets? If so, by how much? McMaster University economist Colin Mang offers Kristy Cameron his two cents. Meantime, April showers may bring us flowers, but they can also cause some flooding. Over the next few days, water levels are expected to rise rapidly along the Ottawa River, thanks in large part to a heavy dose of rain and an accumulation of melting snow. CTV’s Ted Raymond delivers the details in Hour 1. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines, including an earthquake that rattled parts of Ontario and Quebec.
