Summary
Prime Minister Mark Carney clears the runway to privatize Canada's four biggest airports. Mackenzie Gray explains why unions are against the plan, and what's still unclear. David Akin reports on Carney heading to France with the goal of forging stronger partnerships with the European Union. Heather Yourex-West reports on the Alberta byelection that saw the NDP winning the traditionally conservative stronghold of Calgary-Shaw, and what may have prompted voters to lean left, away from Premier Danielle Smith and the UCP. Jackson Proskow looks at the U.S. Supreme Court rejecting President Donald Trump's plan to implement mail-in ballot restrictions for the midterm elections. There's been a cyberattack on a company that's supposed to stop fraud. As Touria Izri reports, the hack led to the leak of millions of Canadian and American driver's licences. Plus, a suspected Russian drone has been shot down over Lithuania. Redmond Shannon looks at the wider implications. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
