VKS: The Explainer - What to know about AbCellera's new menopause drug

We are one week away from another Tariff Day. But if a deal can be reached between the Carney Liberals and U.S. President Trump, perhaps the massive U.S. tariffs won’t hit Canada as hard. Can the feds dodge next Wednesday’s bullet? Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Diamond Isinger, a former Special Advisor on Canada-USA Relations to the Trudeau government. Meantime, many people will have their eyes on the skies tonight. And no, it’s not because of an incoming rainstorm. It’s a solar eclipse – and perhaps a meteor shower mixed in. We check in with Elaina Hyde, the Director of the Allan I. Carswell Observatory, in Hour 1. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
